I popped to my local B&M store in Tiverton, Devon to get some pig out food for a Sunday afternoon film & I spotted that Coca Cola life was reduced from 69p down to 55p for 1.25L. The shelf was full, but this may go quite quickly, but I know it's not to everyone's taste. I would guess this is national as it's on their website.

Was going to buy this until I discovered it's not 100 percent Stevia, it's blended because they are cheapskates. I really wanted to try what a fully Stevia soft drink would taste like just out of curiosity. Until they make it totally without sugar no buying for me.

What on earth did we do back in the day of no best before dates? B&M do us all a favour selling good close to or past their best before dates. Stops a lot of food going to waste. I'm sure anyone using a food bank would be grateful either way.

Best before = perfectly safe to consume after this date but, may have lost a little fizz or discoloured, may even have lost some fragrance or taste but it is perfectly saleable
Use by = DO NOT CONSUME AFTER THIS DATE
There are some slight subtleties to this but this a simple way of looking at it.
That aside, this is particularly unpleasant fizzy pop (not voted either way)

Do they do a Cola Death? I'd prefer that.

I would appear to me that 1.25l bottle does only contain 1.125l :wink:

Why is this called "Life". It still has refined sugar in it, which is still associated with Diabetes and Obesity which contributes to reduced life span. It may reduce life span less than normal coke. Maybe it should be called Coka Cola Reduced Reduced Life.

Refiners sugar isn't a problem because there is no difference between that and natural sugars found in food. Sucrose is sucrose, it's not healthier if it's honey instead of coming from a packet.
When consumed to excess, like with any food whether fat, protein etc, you will consume excess calories and gain weight which is the biggest risk factor for diabetes. A direct link between sugar and diabetes is tenuous at best.
You can't attribute a single product to something like that. Plus it has less sugar than other alternatives like pure fruit juice.

they can sell use best before date items but not use by dates. pop normally has a shelf life of 18 months but they normally put 12 months dates on.

Our local B&M was in our local paper with someone complaining about them selling out of date items.
I thought companies were allowed to sell out of date items, just at a reduced price.

It is 1.25L as I put it up before when it was 69p

100 % this is 1,25l. I have spotted best before when I came back home. This shouldn't be on sale after september so I'm considering to go there tommorow and ask why is still on.

I was about to post this as well but spotted that the Best Before is September 2015 so I don't think this a good deal. What is on yours?

Are you sure that was not a 1.75l bottle?
I remember seeing the 1.75L bottle of this for 69p last month in the Worcester store with a BBE Sept 2015, but they were all disappeared by last weekend.

The B&M website now shows a 1.125l bottle for 55p (reduced from 69p)

(not sure if that's a mis-print though, despite it giving the qty twice, as I can only find B&M selling that size coca cola - perhaps it is 1.25l.)
