Ingredients (6)
- Carbonated Water (safe) — Basic component of most beverages, provides fizziness.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- Acidity Regulator (338 / Phosphoric Acid) (moderate) — Gives the sharp tang but is corrosive to tooth enamel and linked to lower bone density in heavy soda drinkers.
- 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) (moderate) — Purely cosmetic brown dye; class-IV caramel color carries trace 4-MEI, a compound of some concern.
- Natural Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor blend that drives the cola craving without any nutritional contribution.
