I think his issue was the coating was full of MSG or sugar and salt etc. So they probably taste healthy now

You’re kidding me?

Dr Pepper when it came out had a taste hard to describe but nothing like it tastes now similar to Fanta thats not the same taste it was when first released.

Seriously the twizzlers where can you acquire them? Next do they taste the same or will it be another Dr Pepper/Fanta issue il have to deal with?

I appreciate the concern but I’m gonna be driving to track extra in 20 minutes. This is one itch I’m gonna have to scratch.

And as for Dr Pepper still being sold I’m aware but not as it used to taste it’s like Coca Cola vs aldi s cola.

Ha fair enough! I never tried them when they re released. Report back here if they're any good? Lol.

The change in taste in fizzy drinks could be down to the sugar tax that came in in 2018 (I think) and led to a lot of drinks companies reducing the sugar in their drinks.

I'm pretty sure you can still get these.

Turkey twizzlers are crap now. I'll add Irn Bru to the list. Since 2018 and the sugar tax it's not as nice. I'd rather they did what did and make the proper one more expensive and offer low and no sugar options.
