Thanks for the reply, food IS too much of a chemical quagmire!

Actually, I stand corrected, it was Sucralose, not Aspartame - having read your reply, I just searched for my e-mail correspondence with Britvic. I also complained of other additives which were not previously present.
It was interesting to read their reply again as it demonstrated that they had no interest in serving consumer needs - their solution to meeting the demand of customers who wanted a natural product as well as those who wanted a low calorie product was to add both sugar and sweetener.
Anyway, sorry for the error; I am always happy to be corrected.
That said, it was three years ago so the ingredients may have changed.

As a rare drinker of alcohol, I used to drink J2O all the time (especially Apple and Raspberry) but stopped when they inexplicably started putting Aspartame in it.
I contacted Britvic and they couldn't really justify it other than saying that it was what customers wanted.
Why add crap to a product which had at one point been completely natural? If anything, it was a little too sweet anyway.

Strange flavour. Not seen that one in pubs at over £2 a bottle. Might have been more tempted to try one instead of the relatively boring apple or orange based ones.

The flavour is 'Cherry chocolate and Orange'?
Don't know how well a chocolate juice would sit with me :confused:

Try before you buy lots of it!! I didn't like it at all. And there are clearly lots of bottles still to shift....
