Caffeine Free??
Ask a Question
Coke and Pepsi should be applauded for bringing out the caffeine free range. It’s definitely the better option for me as it means I can give the kids a glass and not panic about them getting a good nights sleep. I also don’t notice any difference in the taste.
What is your go to from Pepsi/coke? Normal or caffeine free?
Leannexxx I haven’t tried the lime on yet, but it sounds lovely. Will have to pick one up next time I’m out
But the massive amount of sugar in those drinks would be just as bad as the caffeine. A sugar high makes kids active. Unless it is diet or max but then the jury is still out on whether those sweeteners are carcinogenic.
Lynibis I normally get the zero or max type, but you are right. I’ve heard the sweeteners might pose a problem
Coke have had a Caffeine free version for years as I remember my mum drinking it when I was a teenager, that was 18 years ago. My mother in law also drinks it as she isn't allowed a lot of caffeine and sometimes she just wants a drink of coke so it means she can have it.
MrsCraig I didn’t know this. I have only seen it the last few years, and it has been quite sparse in the shops until lately
Pepsi is my favourite drink, it has to be the normal version, I have tried all the others, they just don't taste the same
martinlufc5637 I used to like an original blue Pepsi until they filled it full of artificial sweeteners
martinlufc5637 I can drink both. I tend to get whatever is on offer at the time lol. I know quite a few people that will only drink one or the other
suevernon1968 I must admit, I would have caffeine free tea/coffee after 5pm. But before then I’ll have normal
PayItForward i drink a lot of tea and found i wasn’t sleeping at night. Coming off caffeine did give me an almighty headache for about three weeks. But if i have a can of ‘normal’ coke I’m like a kid on the ‘bad’ e numbers lol
suevernon1968 lol that’s so funny. understand though. Too much caffeine can cause huge sleep issues
PayItForward on a stressful day when i had drank a lot of tea i was like a naughty toddler that wouldn’t sit still, kept fidgeting and standing up etc. but it was such a vicious circle - cos I was stood up I would make another cup of tea lol x
Won't drink any Pepsi because it's full of artificial sweeteners.
I would drink full sugar Coke, but I've boycotted it
TheChimp Are you a secret left winger who put your principle before buying (almost) anything? I'm sorry to inform but Coke Cola is the number 1 brand of soft drink throughout the world. They (Coke Cola) have factories in almost all parts of the world giving employment to millions of people and that impresses me (the) most.
I have no time or patience for humanitarian or political reasons in denying myself anything.
Um no thanks I'd rather have caffeine. I dint function without it. I don't drink coke or peosi after one of the kids asked to have my coke I said no they wasn't allowed it. Said child asked why I was drinking it and if I could have it so could they. So I stopped around them as it was actually a really good point
has to be cherry coke, I could honestly drink can after can of that. Don’t really drink normal coke and dont like pepsi
thepaxman my husband loves the cherry pepsi. I can take it or leave it to be honest. Id rather have the ordinary one
I quite like the Pepsi Max caffeine free but its a bit of a chemical concoction to be honest but at least it tastes nice but not quite as nice as the Pepsi Max with caffeine.
BonzoBanana I can drink either variant of Pepsi. But i would rather drink the caffeine free after 5pm
Neither. I can’t stand fizzy drinks. Nor am I a fan of cold drinks, definitely not this time of year
hspexy ...I drink cold drinks now & again this time of year but around Christmas time I always get a thirst for COKE, rest of year I rarely drink it!!
janphoenix51 that’s funny, my friend is the same as you. It must be the Coca Cola truck add that’s comes on the tv lol
