May 21, 20196 yr Popular Post All of your might know, and I might be the last person to have found out ... but just in case! Sugar Free Sprite is now available in Thailand. In the USA and the Philippines, it is called "Sprite Zero" for "Sprite Zero Sugar", and has a white label that includes the word "zero". Here in Thailand, the label is EXACTLY the same as regular sprite, with the exception of one small corner that indicates "NO SUGAR". For the past year, I have been searching for it. A bar in Jomptien had it for a while (allegedly received as a mistake); and couldn't special order any for me. I love it - the taste is slightly different, and it does take a little adjustment. That adjustment is fast if you stop drinking regular Sprite. My wife won't drink it, which is fine with me. That now gives us a CAFFEINE FREE, SUGAR FREE drink in Thailand. Life is good. So far I have only purchased it at Tesco North. The price was 26baht each for the large bottle shown (only available in this size); and when I bought 4, I received a 10 baht discount (don't know why). 5-21-19.

May 21, 20196 yr Popular Post I never drink soda... but the artificial sweeteners are worse for the body than sugar.

Yes please - update where she is buying cans because I haven't been successful in finding them yet. The fact that Cineplex is promoting it as a combo is very encouraging that we might have the product long term.

May 22, 20196 yr Popular Post thais can read this as SPIRIT juice ... no sugar = aspartame .... your body does not register this as "sugar" but you will get an insuline response = YOU WILL GET FAT FROM THIS and your brain will be overexcited , Alzheimer anyone, or the child version of this : ADHD
May 22, 20196 yr Tried it a few weeks ago and the taste sucks. Seems the US version tastes better. Perhaps it's the water. Coke "less Sugar and Zero" taste much better.
May 22, 20196 yr Popular Post Quite a few drinks and meal packs state No Sugar. But they replace the sugar with other sweeteners and some of them are worst that the actual sugar, so don't kid your self.
May 22, 20196 yr Sprite and Fanta are not carbonated enough in Thailand.After 5 minutes it feels like plain water
May 22, 20196 yr A doctor friend of mine told me to stay away from lemon-lime sodas, he said the citric acid in them will erode your teeth enamel and rot your teeth even more quickly than Coke.

Your doctor friend is correct, but if you lived your life worrying about what every food or drink will do to you ... you would die of starvation. There is an article this week that drinking fruit juices increases your risk of death by 24%. As if none of us have consumed fruit juices in our lives .. I consume soft drinks in moderation.

Also, Aspartame tastes revolting. Far as sugar goes, I ate vast amounts of the stuff all my life, and still here. However, cut down a bit as don't want to get diabetes just yet.

I heard a story from a reliable source, that Aspartame can turn into formaldehyde if heated for too long. All the Diet Coke shipped out to the US forces in Iraq or wherever was left for days in the hot sun. That's apparently what caused a lot of the guys coming back to have serious illnesses. I dunno, just saying.....
May 22, 20196 yr Coke zero and sprite zero work fine with keto diet, doesn't make you fat. I would question every doctor that tells me different...
May 22, 20196 yr I just saw at my my 7/11 lower sukhimvit but for some reason it was in the discount bin next to the cashier. If its a new release it shouldn't be in there unless its not selling
