    Give people options and let the market decide

    Who do you think is not giving people options? Because it isn’t the UK government. They didn’t make the drinks illegal. They put a pretty modest tax on them.

    So I’m not sure what you want, a law to force Pepsico to sell drinks with sugar in them? Because I think the market wouldn’t be deciding there.

      I know you have a long history of not reading comments, and this is no exception.

      I know you live in the USA, in the heart of capitalism.

      The rest of the world doesn’t have the product choices the USA does. In some countries, the only diet/sugar-free soft drink commonly available is Diet Coke. Absolutely nothing else. (no Pepsico, etc.)

      But whatever. You didn’t know coupons existed on the internet a week ago.

        Oh look, you took a post I wrote entirely out of context.

        I’ll fix that for you.

        That was in response to this:

        Which was a response to this:

        In this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/17453467

        I’ll assume that was an honest mistake and you aren’t just trolling and definitely won’t get banned like in the many, many other communities you’ve been banned for trolling people in, so you’re welcome.

        Edit: I suppose the alternative is you believe in such a thing as an “Artificial Intelligence Supercomputer,” but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt there.
