Where's the Rest of the Fucking Sugar?

I thought lately that my Candy Apple Faygo was tasting a little off. It’s still the shit, but less so. I actually looked at the sugar content on the side and noticed a big 24 oz. now has 15 grams less sugar per bottle. I only know that it used to have 90 grams of sugar per bottle because my girlfriend always said “Jesus Christ, this has 90 grams of fucking sugar in it!!!” Then I started looking at all the other flavors I had, Black Cherry and Moon Mist and Root Beer, and sure enough, they all cut the sugar content too. 

 

My guess is the price of sugar must have gone up, and for Faygo to remain a cheap soda alternative, they had to cut the sugar content. Only now it doesn’t taste quite right. Good, but not great. I would rather pay more for my Faygo and get the shit I love, not sacrifice great taste to save a few cents.

 

Anyone else notice this? If you’re noticing your Faygo tastes a little different, this is probably why.

Candy apple faygo is the nectar of the gods. When I go to heaven im hoping there will be beautiful women that lactate faygo. Breast feed all day every day…. I hadnt noticed the difference though. Less sugar might not be a bad thing.

I’m sure it’s not a bad thing health wise, but there’s definitely a little difference to the taste now I feel. Maybe it’s just in my head, but I doubt it. I mean, when you cut 15 grams of sugar from something, it’s going to take some of the sweetness away. Not all, but definitely some.

 

And yes, I’m sure that heavenly creatures lactate Candy Apple Faygo from their nipples. Otherwise, it couldn’t really be even now could it? Something to think about.

We don’t get that shit out here. I’ve never had it, always wanted to though. I see it online but never ordered it. Any huge difference?

I love cokes without fructose in them. You gotta get those imported glass bottles from mexico. Thats the way coca cola and mt dew were meant to taste. I think I read somewhere that fructose could speed up the spread of cancers so I try to limit the intake

This is true. I’ve always thought that Coke in a glass bottle tasted better than  the stuff in cans or plastic bottles, I’ll have to order some of that sometime, check it out. Thanks homie.

I’ve heard this too about fructose, amongst other disturbing facts. Shit is bad news all around man. 

We only have the Pepsi from Mexico around here, never seen the Coke from Mexico.

Mexican sugar tariffs just skyrocketed and there is talk of Coke from Mexico being switched to corn syrup soon. Lame.

I heard that too was like “who’s gonna buy that shit now?”

On the other hand I was at family dollar about to get a liter of Rock&Rye and Rootbeer and literally said out to myself “You just want to get diabetes enventually, huh?” and put them back and got apple juice.

Funny thing about that is apple juice is almost entirely sugar as well….so you are damned if you Faygo, damned if you Juice.

I would be willing to pay you for Candy Apple Faygo. Same with Moon Mist Red and Blue. Is that sad?
