  • Haven't had these in ages, hope the flavor hasn't changed. $6.50 delivered for 5, can't go wrong :P

      The "no added sugar" range is great.
      Its what I feel nearly all flavored drinks should be.

      All the natural sugar, and sweetener for any 'extra'.

      To much sugar is bad.
      Too much sweetener MIGHT be bad.
      So, why not both, but less?

      Just makes sense to me…

      • Haha thats the same reasoning I had at woolies the other day!

  • Great price

  • Thanks OP

  • Great price - but its only letting me buy one?

    • they do this with super specials to stop hording

    • +1

  • Who’s dad picked dat fruit?

    • Wow. Is that still the advert?

    • +2

      My dad picks up chicks, that are real hotties!

      And brings them home.

      Which is, what I like best!

      Wrong version?

    I bought some last night and Amazon just credited my account to make up the few dollars of difference.

      What a cordial response from Amazon

      • +1

        Lol I didn't realise I made a pun, need to concentrate more

  • I can only order 1.
    Is it the same for everyone?

    • +2

      I wish there was something in the OP about this

      • there is: "looks like one flavour per order so get one of each"

    • looks like one flavour per order so get one of each

      Yup

  • looks like some flavours are back to $2.50 but most are still at $1.30

    • +1

      Even at $2.50, if its something you drink often, iirc coles is $3.20.

    • just an FYI, woolies has these at $2.50@ on special this week.

    • +1

      I noticed it showed as $2.50 for the flavours I had already purchased. You can buy one of each flavour at $1.30

  • Had that bloody "My dad picks the fruit that goes in Cottees" song from the ad stuck in my head for the last 25 years.

    • +1

      You must be clinically insane

    Ozbargain posts the fruit deals that saves me money, which are the bargains that I like best

  • Brilliant…. Picked up 9 different flavours. That's my kids cordial for the year.

  • good alternative for bottled water

    • +1

      I hear you can actually mix it with water and make it last longer.

      • Since it has this
        Water, Sugar, Food Acid (Citric Acid), Flavours, Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulphite), Natural Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides), Colours (Tartrazine, Brilliant Blue). CONTAINS SULPHITES.

        Should be fine for a lot longer.

        • Anti-vaxxers be drinking this like…

  • Nice… got 8 different flavours for $10.40… cheap. Now I wish I bought that sodastream from Myer… d'oh!

    • +4

      If you do, dont try to carbonate milk.

      It does.
      You'll wish it didnt.

      • +2

        I will legitimately buy a sodastream just to see what carbonates you've given me the best and worst idea.

        • Don't do tomato sauce. It's horrible

      • No, milk doesn't carbonate, as the added CO2 causes it to curdle and become thick, with virtually no fizz. The more you try to carbonate it, the less fizzy it will be due to this reaction. Interesting read about this here:

        https://sodapopcraft.com/can-you-sodastream-milk/

        • I was about 11 at the time.
          Sodastreams were new.
          It could easily have been soy or 'no fat' or something special.

          All i know was it was a "milk" product, it did, and it shouldnt.

  • Got the NAS Orange, thanks OP
    Can anyone provide a review on other flavours?

    Edit: oh no, I've just realised description says lemon.

    • Lime no added sugar is good to drink alot. The rest get kinda gets old drinking same flavour. Get all and mix it up!

      • +1

        It's only me going to be drinking it though, and 10L is a lot let alone 100L if I buy all!! XD

  • This stuff got me off cordial!

  • This stuff gives me headaches.

  • Be careful if your order this and they decide to package it with all your other orders which they most likely will. Could lead to a disaster if it explodes or leaks.
    Sure Amazon will fix it up but not worth the effort of dealing with the problem.

  • +2

    I used to buy this stuff in 40 bottle lots when it was half price at Colesworth. It was perfect for my Sodastream, as it mixed 9:1, which fit perfectly in the 1 litre bottle, which has a 900ml fill line.

    Then they changed the concentration to 7:1 … so I abandoned it.

    I now use the Diet Rite stuff, which is still 9:1.

    • It's also exactly how we use it. We've also tried the Diet Rite stuff but that choice didn't quite make the grade at our place.

      • Dietrite flavours arent great, with the exception of their Ginger options.

        • I find them perfectly fine. Maybe my palate is stuffed from drinking so much of it …

    • How good is cordial compared to syrup for Sodastreams?

      I just got the SodaKing for $27 from Kmart https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/583355

      The syrups are expensive and quite a few of the flavours are sold out because of increased demand from people staying home due to covid, apparently.

      • +1

        The only syrup I ever found to be outstanding was the raspberry. Then they changed the formula for it, and ruined it.

        There were good things said about the Bickfords products, but I never tried them.

        There's also plenty of other brands and flavours to try, but I don't bother, mainly because I'm too lazy to try and get the ratios right …

  • I find it awfully sneaky of amazon that - when you have credit with them - there's no transparency around the true cost of the item.

    I added 6 different flavours @ $1.50, and the msg assured me that the lightning deal would apply if I bought within blah, but all the checkout and invoice say are total (full price) and discount (all of it, because credit was applied).

    Does anybody have any advice to get more transparent details of credit being applied to a discounted item, or credit balance etc? I'd be super grateful.

    • +1

      When you go into "Your Account" when logged into Amazon there are a number of tabs.

      There is one labeled "Gift cards", when you click on that there is a listing of all the orders you have paid using gift cards and how much of the gift card balance has been applied to each order. At the top of the page is also your remaining gift card balance.

      • Unfortunately it's "courtesy/promotional credit" (what they give you when they've stuffed something up). Doesn't seem to show anywhere under the gift card details.

        But thanks for trying.

        • +1

          If it's courtesy/promotional credit then yes, unfortunately it doesn't show up separately and not even the Amazon customer service staff, are able to tell you, your remaining balance.

          • +1

            @Stone Monkey: Add an expensive item, it will tell you what's left.

          • @Stone Monkey: Can't see that your idea works unless I actually pull the trigger. I'm al the way to the "place order" button and it still doesn't show me. I don't want to actually purchase the big item, and I can't remember if there's another confirmation step - maybe I have to turn off one-click ordering for this to work.

  • What's the recommended ratio everybody likes to use for this?

    I am a huge coles home brand soft drink purchaser and honestly love cordial also and this is pretty cheap especially if say I can do like 1:4 ratio to make it last even longer that makes it still full of flavour and really good $/L.

    Haven't had cordial in ages but I still remember the taste just forgotten the water to cordial ratio because it has been that long.

    • +1

      The trick to cordial is using filtered water not tap water. Tap water usually has chlorine and a metallic taste. You will use less concentrate getting the desired taste with filterd water than tap water.

      We have a 3m filter installed on our tap which Reduces unwanted taste/odors and chlorine corrosion of metallic components, Reduces sediment ,chlorine, taste, odour , lead, cysts, benzene, toxaphene and dichlorobenzene

      You can also just use a Brita jug etc for water.

      • So true luckily I do have one of those big filter water contraptions goes through a bunch of rocks or something and the taste is very different.

        I wish I could fill my bottles with it but it takes forever to refill a couple bottles compared to tap but time is money friend.

    • If you have aged since you last had it your taste may have changed

    • Back in the old days it used to be 1:4. that's when this used to come in 2l bottles. A fair few years ago they changed to 1l but the ratio changed, it's now 1:7 or so.

      • So you are saying they are weaker in taste now and require less water?

        • It pretty much tastes the same, they changed the formula so you don't need to use as much and it still tastes fine.

  • +2

    Their cola cordial taste great with soda water.

  • +1

    Couldn't resist at this price - got 5 bottles. Never seen it so cheap.

    Thanks for posting OP
