It depends. We now have a sugar tax and Fanta, and other brands, started doing no sugar beverages that are quite cheaper than the sugared ones. The difference can be from 0.5 to 1 or a bit more euros. Depends on the brand. For Fanta I think it’s close to 1 euro. I bought yesterday a no sugar Fanta with 8 lei and the one with sugar was 12. 1 euro is close to 5 lei.
Wait wait wait there is different amounts of sugar for each european country? I thought europe had an equal sugar tax which in turn caused europe to have a single ‘recipe’ for fanta/cola/ whatever
I think these values depend on how much sugar there is.
in Poland less sugar = cheaper drinks bcs of sugar tax coca-cola skyrocketed from 5,5/2l to 9-9,5/2l
They nerfed Fanta and it’s mid now. Sad times.
the new fanta tastes like trash, rarely had it before the change but now it’s never
Big companies tweak the recipes for many products to cater for specific markets. Sugar/sweetener tax may have a small role, but it has mainly to do simply with the preferences in taste.
Then adding cancerproducing laxative disgusting sweetners into the drink. Which technically makes it a whole other drink in taste and consistency.
