I think you mean FAKE sugar. Holy hell is it everywhere. And it’s so damn sweet.
I actually enjoy having a sodastream just so I can still buy the occasional energy drink or soda, and add some extra carbonated water to tone down the sweetness.
You know how much I’d love to see a coca-cola with “low cane sugar” as an option? Just give me cane sugar… but less of it!!
I really wish instead of switching from real sugar to artificial sweetener, companies would simply use less sugar. But no, artificial sweetener is CHEAPER than real sugar, and makes the item taste sweeter, so it’s a win-win, right?
It’s not fake sugar lol, it exists.
It’s added sugar
Go to a supermarket, look around at how many candies and sodas now use artificial sweetener instead of plain sugar. It’s certainly on the increase over the past 20 years if you look back historically at it’s usage, and it seems to be increasing annually.
Look at how Pepsi phased out Sierra Mist in favor of the new “Starry” soda which is made with more artificial sweetener. This lets them advertise lower calories on the label, while selling a sweeter beverage people will buy.
I used to love buying malted beverages and energy drinks occasionally because I enjoy trying new flavors. However over the past five+ years, I’ve noticed a lot more brands sneaking in artificial sweeteners. Look at Mountain Dew - they recently started a line of alcohol-infused beverages which interested me. But go figure they were absolutely terrible - they tasted nothing like classic mountain dew with al that fake sugar. I threw them out lol.
Ah I misunderstood, yeah there’s artificial sweeteners and alternate sugars, I don’t believe they’re all inherently bad from what I’ve seen.
And yeah some people really taste the difference lol
