sugar water
Fake sugar water.
But agree with the sentiment.
Cancer causing fake sugar water.
I thought health organisations linked artificial sweeteners like in this with higher cancer rates.
Score an even bigger bargain and cut this trash out of your diet.
Good call.
Monster white was on sale the other day.
I will save my money for that.
IIRC they've found a correlation, not causation and definitely not conclusive
@becku: You're right, I stand corrected after reading this WHO report.
I still stand by my comment about it being better to avoid it altogether but that's down to personal preference.
@CommanderShepard: I see it the same way I do red meat tbh. Probably not that big of a deal if you are only having it occasionally
Legit. Used to be .60 a can.
As good as it gets these days sadly… <= $1/can
Any good bulk deals on Mentos ?
almost $1/can is a deal?
In 2025, yes unfortunately…..
Keep in mind that state and territory deposit return scheme charge manufactures between $0.15 to $0.20 per can.. People tend to be surprised that they get charged more than consumers receive when returning the cans, but there's lots of "ecofriendly" middle parties who want their pound of flesh and governments don't fund the scheme themselves.
Yep another shit house policy voted in by idiots.
We all already had recycling bins, we all used them, if for whatever reason they couldn't recycle the cans that went in the bin (wtf have they been doing the last 50 years) then they should have just upgraded the recycling facilities rather than introduced another inefficient tax that just made a whole heap of middle men rich (from our tax) for extremely marginal benefit, if any.
Aussies will never learn, they love these bullshit feel good policies.
As a side note, it's ridiculous and shows the inefficiency of the whole scheme that they have to charge more than 10c to the manufacturers as I would generously estimate that at best 80% of the cans end up getting their deposits refunded, so there should be 20% of the funding easily available to work the system.
I agree with your last comment but support the deposit scheme. Only I would advocate for the deposit to be bigger, perhaps double the current rate. And return points should be at every supermarket or at least lets say 500m from every shop that sells products in deposit containers, so I dont have to make a separate trip to find out the machine is out of order.
@ripprind: Why do you "support the deposit scheme" out of interest? And not just recycle bins with a decent recycling system?
Would you also support a 10c cardboard box refund scheme? What about 10c on every tin can too?
If the argument is "oh but it's incentive for people not to throw their cans out the window!"… It isn't, the people that were going to do that, are still going to do that, whether it's 10c refund, 20c refund or 50c refund.
It's an attitude thing, not a "oh I'm Gunna miss out on 10c if I collect enough of these then make a trip to a deposit location and claim my money back" situation.
Also, I looked up the stats for queensland, they are only getting 67% ~ of the cans back for refunds. So they have 33% of the funding to run the thing (if they only charged 10c) and still that isn't enough to run the inefficient white elephant. That would be about 37 Million $ per year to run the show IF they only charged manufacturers 10c, however apparently they charge between 15-20c to manufacturers… So it must be costing in the order of 100 million $ per year, just for QLDs operation. Either that or a lot of Labor/Greenies buddies are getting rich from this scheme.
@Binchicken22: Except it is an incentive.
Recycling rates went up from when they were in recycling bins for those materials as certain types are motivated by money while they wouldn't otherwise care. Of course, there's still another group who as you say don't care either way.
While I agree it would be great if everyone 'did the right thing' and recycled in the recycling bin, the reality is they don't. So the intent of this scheme was to reduce the waste by giving a financial incentive - which lets face it, has become a bigger determinant in this country in recent times.
@odysseus: I'd love to see some real statistics on that (as in, not stats from a "containers for change" sponsored affiliate) and if it's anywhere near worth the billions this scheme has cost (so far)
I genuinely can't see how it's gone up by any significant amount unless they were just throwing all our recycling cans into landfill, in which case, back to my point #1. Upgrade the damn recycling facilities rather than this stupid white elephant of a system.
@Binchicken22: I don't believe in fixing the problem in the tail-end. The demand has to change , and this incentive is working on that. Studies show that deposit schemes have a massive efect on behaviour - recycling rates definitely went up in other countries where it is implemented.
@ripprind: So you are saying that the 10c tax is reducing demand on can sales? Do you have data to back that up?
@Binchicken22: No, Im not saying that.
Im saying there is definitely data on the fact that deposit schemes increase recycling rates.
"Aussies will never learn, they love these bullshit feel good policies."
Comment of the Year for mine. The stupidity that has crept into this once great and sensible nation is astounding :-(
charge manufactures between $0.15 to $0.20 per can.
Where did you pluck that information from?
Is Coke in Australia still made with cane sugar?
Classic Coke is
Since when is subscribe and save a 5% discount instead of 10?
Obviously lots getting the discount, then cancelling the S & S.
Naturally, do they expect you to subscribe and then get billed again when it's close to 60 bucks?
It was announced a while ago, but only recently have I started seeing 5% S&S items.
30 packs are $28 at woolies (in SA) at the moment - as they are every second week or so.
Current price in NSW as well, but hasn't been under $2.67/L in quite a while.
They are normally $30 a carton on sale, haven’t seen $28 in ages for a 30 pack.
Then apply your 10% rewards discount, plus use your 5% discounted gift card from ShopBack and you’re miles ahead than buying off amazon
I recently tried coke zero sugar and was surprised how close to the original it tasted. Its probably still not good for you, but its interesting.
What's also surprising is that the supermarket home brand zero colas are also very similar - in years gone by they were awful. Now they are quite good and only ~$1.15 for 1.25 litres. Mixed with a good single malt whisky I can't tell the difference between coke zero and supermarket zero.
You had me till the good single malt part. Nice try
I've found ALDI's no sugar cola actually tastes better than the sugar version in a premix. It's really good, and I feel stoked about no sugar. Unfortunately I'm mixing cheap bourbon and not quality single malts
Only good if its cold. Also the BB date is a lot shorter on the zero sugar varieties.
It's fine, particularly if you struggle to eat under your calorie limit, they are great.
Eating and drinking a stupid amount of calories a day is worse tbh then whatever crap they claim is bad for you in the stuff
.
Edr 10% discount is cheaper than this. S&s 5% only means Amazon no longer good deal when they price match
You're right, but you do need Extra.
Theres always the spend $50 get 10000 points for 4 week deals, which give u approx 25% off in face value. However, you'd have to be paying $1/can because Coles not WW.
Coles have the Gold Can competition right now too if you're feeling lucky.
Wow $2 below standard price?!
Back in stock when I just bought, if anyone feels they missed out, after the comments above. For me, the delivery is worth it.
Still seems stupidly expensive even on special. ~$2.55/L if my math is mathin.
Edit: Not saying it isn't a deal in this economy, I just think its pricy for sugar water.
