REED'S ZERO SUGAR GINGER ALE 24 PACK
I've found ginger to help my health condition. When I was able to find it with Real Ginger I was happy. But then I could see that the sodium benzoate found in other brands, was not found in Reed's Ginger Ale. Then I saw it came in a sugar free form. Carefully reading the carton, it said it was sweetened with Stevia. I bought two 4 can packs. However, after getting it home and grabbing a taste, "Oh, yuck" it had this nasty off taste. "What could it be?" I looked at the ingredients on the can. It was different that the box the 4 cans had come in. It said for sweeteners it used, "Stevia, Erythritols, Monk Fruit".
Well that takes the cake. The ingredients on the box are NOT the same as the ingredients on the can! And top that off, the nasty taste was the erythritol sweetener. Since I am allergic to Benzoates, and the chemical or listed name varies widely, I've been trained what to look for. You see there are additives, including sweeteners, mostly artificial sweeteners, that contain benzoates. Erythritol is one of those sweeteners.
So, now that I bought 2 boxes of 4 cans, and dated them with the purchase date before placing them in my pantry, I have7 cans of useless drink, all due to false advertising.
I would have given 1 star but I was so danged happy to find a real sugar with out benzoates.
Best soda around!
I love the zing and zest of Reed's. I am actually obsessed!! Since I have been chaging my eating habits I have been looking for a drink that reminds me I dont have to sacrifice flavor. Its zing also reminds me of a cocktail. I feel satiated and have found fun ways to create satifying drinks I share with friends - like adding grapefruit flavor crystals or using as a mixer. I never new I could get some much from a zero calorie drink! I am hooked
A very good sugar-free
Ginger ale
Love the zero sugar ginger ale. Made with excellent ingredients. I can't always find it in the store. It was delivered quickly. Thanks
