• Caffeine plus sugar engineered to keep you reaching for more
• Zero fiber, protein, or nutrients, pure empty calories

Ingredients (6)

• Carbonated Water (safe) — Just water and CO2, the neutral base of the drink.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
• Acidity Regulator (338 / Phosphoric Acid) (concerning) — Sharp acid that erodes tooth enamel and is linked to reduced bone mineral density.
• Caffeine (8.7 mg/100g) (moderate) — Mild stimulant that reinforces the habit; small dose but pairs with sugar to drive repeat cravings.
• Colour (150d / Caramel Color) (concerning) — Synthetic ammonia-sulphite caramel dye, purely cosmetic and carries trace 4-methylimidazole.
• Natural Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Undefined flavor blend; 'natural' tells you nothing about what it actually is.
