Same here. The magic is gone.
Minute Maid was awesome back in the 80s. Their fruit punch was the goat.
I think they changed the formula of their drinks. I haven't had any in a while, but it was pretty awful when I tried a couple of them a few years ago.
Welch's made a fruit punch soda that was next fucking level for me.
Sounds like a class action suit for any person that consumed the drinks while it was advertised as zero sugar
Only if they suffered harm. I'm not sure that enough people will have suffered harm for it to be a class action.
Idk man. You can sue for anything anymore
You'd have to prove you drank it before September 10, and it was from those specific batches.
Put which thing in the title, if it's so important.
Well, I mean it's not going to kill a diabetic if they consume sugar they weren't anticipating.. sure it might spike their levels higher than anticipated, but it would only cause harm long term if they didn't monitor .

FYI there is no such thing as truly "zero calorie". Sure, we can't use aspartame and those "0 calorie" sweeteners for energy BUT our gut microbes can metabolize those compounds into products that we can then use for energy. So one way or another you're still taking in calories. Now do you gain more energy from straight sugar vs the sweeteners? I have no idea, I haven't studied this in years. I just like to bring up that little bit of trivia whenever anyone brings up zero calorie drinks in conversation :)
That's a hard to believe claim. Do you have a source for it?
ya I did a lit review for my thesis a few years back, plenty of papers on microbes metabolizing these compounds, shouldn't be hard to find.
So no, you don’t have a source
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10144565/ Here's a good start on "NNS"/non nutritional sweeteners.
Honestly its probably not a very big impact, its more of a "its possible" sort of thing.
Its a really interesting field!
So after a little research the caloric intake might be more than 0. I feel like your original comment came across as suggesting that "0 calorie" drinks had just as many calories as sugar, which is obviously far from the truth. But this research is interesting and important, and there's a good chance I read your first comment in bad faith. Thanks for sharing
Hah, love this. Never change buddy. You're the best :-).

I thought the main danger to diabetics was not having sugar after taking insulin.
That's only a danger if they take too much insulin. Insulin is used by the body to make the cells absorb sugar.
