why are sugar-free noncaffeinated soft drinks an almost nonexistent product category in germany. what does this say about german culture
germans don't mind getting diabetes because their private health insurance will cover it and it's worth it when in exchange you get an unimaginable number of great flavours of fritz-spritz?

@hikari there's also a _lot_ of public health scare/BS/FUD about sweeteners in the culture here.
as someone who's allergic to many sweeteners I still think that crap is in too many products, but yeah...
@manawyrm it should always be a personal choice… i hate how in the uk, the introduction of a sugar tax led to previously sugar-only soft drinks being reformulated to be a mix of sugar and sweeteners. worst of both worlds
