In KFC the other day and got a 1.5l bottle of Tango. I assumed it would be the same as the draft Tango and be sugar free - no it was original. server swore it was the same.
in Morrisons today for lunch and had a cup of diet coke out of the dispenser. tasted just like full sugar coca cola they only sell coke zero and diet coke. did they just get the syrup ration wrong?
 
I don’t know but I’m always suspicious of any soft drinks that come from a dispenser or pump. I know it costs more but I prefer to have them in a can or bottle. At bars, I also make them show me the tonic before they put it in my gin, having been given a sugar mixer before.

I hope your blood sugar didn’t get too messed up.

Same here, preference cans cartoons bottles so you can see label.
 
Pubs that insist that Fevertree low carb is the same as Schweppes Diet Tonic. Yes its very low carb - but absolutely not carb free. Don't start me on Pepsi Max either, damn stuff sends my BG skyward pdq.
