Sugar Free!

[DazZ.]

I'm sat here looking at my pile of munch for the night, finding my Sprite bottle sports a "Caffine Free" boast along with no artificial colouring and a few other things.
This isn't the diet version, I hate diet Coke and edibles with less sugar in than they were created to have, and I also want caffeine in my Sprite.

I remember when Fanta Icy Lemon was amazing, it was my choice beverage for a whole summer, and stocked up on it like a squirrel. Then they changed it, to have less sugar or something in and claimed it was "improved".
It fucking wasn't, it ruined it and it now tastes gash, whenever I buy it all I can taste is disappointment and fun memories that hurt me more to reminisce than my ex girlfriends.

I'm not fat, at all, I exercise more than enough, I can eat as much crap as I want and I try to, but I'm hindered by these "improved" recipes.
If there are diet versions of these drinks, why do they still need to take away from the main product?
Is there a reason they can't bring out the opposite of a diet version, and a "fully chemical, sugar overflowing & lush" version?
Is it the same reason we don't have Mountain Dew in England? I love that stuff, but haven't been able to get it in my homeland.

Tl;Dr: Should we have a "sugar full" version of drinks/food along with "sugar free" so that everyone can be happy?
[small]This was longer than I expected, would have been longer had I been downing caffeine as well[/small]

People trying to diet are going to need to cut the soda out of their diet, regardless if it's sugar free or not. There really shouldn't be sugar free soda....why take the sugar out of sugar water?

Diabetics.
That would seem to be a good answer.
And I think there should be a fully loaded version of soda, but it should be hidden from small children.
With a stipulation for adults: if you tell the kids about the existence of the super drink, you get kicked in your reproductive organs for a year.

We've entered the era of time where everyone is suddenly all for healthy and envirnomentally friendly things..and this is the majority...so therefore anything that tasted good and was fun are being obliterated "in the name of the environment"

Yes, not having a choice sucks. However you could just buy a packet of sugar, and um.... stir it in...

Nah, bollocks. Environmentalists are all about things like organic food which tastes WAY better than the shit at the supermarket. Ask anyone old enough to remember and they'll tell you that food tasted a crapload better before scientists started fucking with it.
