My daughter loved the fizzy drink sprite and recently they have given it a new look and flavour.. she hates it now and i dont blame her its horrible tastes to sweet even the lite one.. normally when a drink has a overhaul they change it slighty but this has changed beyond regognistion of the old sprite.. has anyone else noticed the change..

Is that the one with 0 Sugar in it. As Lilt, Dr pepper to name but a few have all got a new taste, doesnt taste very sweet now. I must admit I prefer to cut down on less sugary drinks, I know it takes some getting use to but its proably best in the long run.

I did like the old one, I did not know there was a new look one. I hate all drinks with artificial sweeteners and will not buy them anyway.

I only drink real fruit hi-juice squashes, mainly because they are cheaper than buying fizzy drinks. But also because SWMBO won't allow me fizzy drinks! If I get a chance I'll look for it and try some new sprite.

Strange I don't find it all that sweet and I take artificial sweeteners in my hot drinks. I can understand people hating it, took my a few months to get use to drink artificial sweenters in my hot drinks, now I wouldn't touch sugar. I do like my fizzy drinks so anything to get me off sugar is a godsend, although Its a brave company selling these drinks now, because I bet loads of people hate them.

suppose what i am trying to say is that the taste of this drink is so differnt now that my child wont drink it.. surly this is not a good thing to change things so they unrecognisable or undrinkable as she says lol
