    Eventually got my hands on it, drinking it the now.

    Definitely not as sweet, hint of a syrupy feel to it, and even a wee bit cola cubie

    Decent

    £2.99 in my local shop, woman behind the till says it was £1.99 to start with but it's selling so well they upped the price. She told me another shop close that are selling it for £1.75. Not much of a difference but * paying that, especially when they only upped the price because it was selling so well.

    I meant it's nothing like the normal, sugar and caffeine version. The aspartame version is nicer than this over priced * and that's saying something.

    I sticking to the new stuff, I'll buy it like it and then they will stop selling it and I'll be raging again so I'm just going to settle, im use to the new stuff now so * it, it's a con anyway original bottles 2ltr were 2 for £2, changed the recipe cos the sugar tax and charged us 1.25 per bottle for the less sugar new stuff, and now £2 for the old stuff,
