I'm disgusted. I bought a Schweppes "low calorie" drink a couple of days ago. I'd really love to know Schweppes definition of "low calorie" because this lemon and elderflower drink had 50 cals per 250ml. That's a ridiculous amount in comparison to things like diet coke or diet pepsi. They have about ten cals per two litres.
Of course, it's my fault that I bought it, believing the misleading label. I should have checked the calorie count first. It's a lesson learned, I can tell you. I'm definitely going to email their customer service department and ask what they mean by "low calorie." If they'd even called it "reduced" instead of "low," it would be less disingenuous. It's low in comparison to eating a quarter pounder with cheese, sure, but uber high in comparison to a bottle of Coke Zero. I feel an email rant coming on!
Coke Zero, two litres has zero cals, hence the name. Diet Pepsi, two litres contains twelve cals. Even ASDA own brand tropical drink only has about sixty for the whole two litre bottle. Two litres of this "low calorie" drink has 400 calories. See where I'm going with this? That is not low in calories by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just so pissed with myself that I didn't check the label before I bought it. I dumped it. It's not worth the calorie expenditure. There is no "low calorie" drink on the market that's worth 150 cals per 750ml bottle. 400 cals per two litres? That's a third of my entire day's allowance. That's a whole meal! Grrrrr!!!
