Diet Rite/'Soda' in the UK

[splosh313]

Hi peeps,
Been wearily trawling the net for some sort of fizzy cola-like drink that I can buy in UK.
I just need something I can occasionaly have with a meal instead of water - something sweet, fizzy, and vaguely resembling coke/fanta etc.
So far though, they seem to be restricted to our brethren across the pond, but if anyone knows of anywhere, I would love to hear about it.
Failing that, I definitely see a gap in the market for an aspiring UK businessman and would happily be his first customer.

In Boots chemists, the shapers drinks use only splenda - blackberry and apple is really good.

Every now and again, after a hard work out I allow myself to have 1, but I am at target weight and just maintaining now. I would no of had these during induction at all.

Apparently some of the large supermarkets do a splenda sweetened fizzy drink though I don't know if splenda is the only sweetener in it, you would have to check the ingredients list.

I usually get just a sparkling (unsweetened) water when I feel like a change from still or tap water when out.

There are several brands of slightly flavoured water sweetened with only splenda (sucralose) around if you want some extra flavour - just check labels to be sure which to choose.

I have been drinking the Sainsbury's brand of Soda. They are the only brand that I have found that is sweetened using Sucralose. I have only found it in the bigger Sainsbury's, but they have cola, lemonade, cream soda (my fav). Even though they are an own brand soda I find them alot more enjoyable than sodapop with aspartimine.
