McDonalds.

It is official, today in the newspaper McDonalds New Zealand is going to get healthy by contributing towards the reduction in diabetes!

McDonalds is going to withdraw Sprite and replace it with Sprite Zero! Now im just not sure that that is going to work. For a start is is the least sold soft drink in McDonalds NZ and secondly people im sure will just buy coke instead.

Good attempt though.

Because of the other ingredients in diet sodas, I refuse to drink them. I'll deal with the dangers of sugar anyday - or just drink water.

I love diet sodas, especially ones that use Splenda as their sweetner. Diet Coke with Splenda is my favorite.

Although providing a separate sugar-free alternative will help. I would certainly order that over a regular Sprite.

I wonder if the executive at McDonalds that made this decision owns a lot of Sprite stock.

....well, I guess it's good that they want to make an effort?

A start is a start! More needs to be done and more of a drastic step needs to be taken.

Uhhhh, kids... Sprite to Sprite Zero. Let's see High Fructose Corn Syrup to Artificial Flavoring?

How about just drinking some water? Plus, sugar isn't bad for you; the amount you ingest is what makes it bad.

Sprite Zero? Egads. What about all the other things they sell?

it is a fad. they all go the "health kick" in a niminal way and then slip back to 24/7 lard filled food. time will tell if this is a real deal or just one more trip 'round the fast food spin cycle.
