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
