Thumbs up Aspartame Free Diet fizzy drinks!

Just a for Asda who have abandoned aspartame in their own range products - especially good news for those of us who are leery of it and like the odd diet fizzy drink. Even their high energy drink with taurine is now made with sucralose.
Their cola is - I actually like it much better than Pepsi or Coke. Especially with a drop or two of Bacardi in it ....

Me too - Tesco use to make a diet Fiery Ginger Beer with sucralose which was just awesome. Not sure if they still do, but worth a look...

I use the Asda sf diet squash drinks to make jelly now, using plain gelatine - all the packets have aspartame. I don't know why I never did this before - so easy and loads of different flavours!

Babs, thank you! We've been drinking diet coke and didn't even think of searching for aspartame-free drinks. Just got back from ASDA, with a bottle of bacardi too!!
