There's that gold Coke, which is caffeine free. It's not often sold, and maybe they've stopped making it now.

Caffeine free Coke is available in the US. Is that picture real!?

>>10269788
>>10269789
The caffeine free stuff tastes awful though

In america they sell diet no caffiene coke, but there isnt full sugar no caffiene coke anywhere that i can find

What constitutes a high caffiene drink anyway? Coke isnt one. I can understand energy drinks and coffee, but sodas?

THE ABSOLUTE STATE

>>10269780
I knew the sips memeing would go too far

It’s good that they banned high capacity caffeinated drinks. For the children. Nobody needs more than seven milligram of caffeine!

>High capacity assault caffeine
>Delivers more than 30 buzzes per hour
>Ban the soda

Oh wait.

>>10269780
Off the top of my head I think it's only Waitrose doing this and it would only affect a number of energy drinks, not Coke

>>10269954
>Boots is also joining supermarkets such as Asda, Waitrose, Tesco and the Co-op in introducing the rule

>>10269797
The taste difference is barely noticeable. If you were blindly given caffeine free Coke you likely wouldn't even know any better.

>>10269780
They ought to ban eggplant/aubergine too, since it has trace amounts of nicotine in it. For the Children™, of course.

>>10269780
Das a racist restriction, much like voter ID laws since negroes traditionally reject the notion of having any sort of identification.

>>10269780

Welcome to nanny-Europe.

We're going to have to card you for that plastic picnicware, but stoning your sister for getting raped is a-okay!

>>10270461
Is there any downside to drinking that?

Could Britain BE any more of a nanny state?

Fucking britcucks lost their nation to invading sand niggers and their dear leaders won't let them have guns, knives, or soda

>>10270518
You forgot TV tax.

>>10270502
No, but it's very hard to find in most areas.

>>10269821
Yeah because God forbid w e try to tackle the health issues in our society, instead of letting the state literally push unhealthy products on us.

God save the queen.

What is a 15 year old to do if he/she wants to make a Coke cake?

>>10270553
I'm sorry, which government is forcing their populace to buy soda? What?

>>10269973
We’re all so impressed by your irrelevant trivia, anon.

>>10270553
Shouldn't you be more worried about BREXIT or your Muslim takeover rather than young teenagers buying carbonated beverages?

Maybe if you encouraged healthy and delicious food, and the fun that comes with exercise, instead of trying to prevent access to things then your society would be better off. Prohibition doesn't work, never has. Education and encouragement is the path.

Someone please post that billboard with government billboard with the giant eye saying we're watching. Britain is hilarious.

>>10270570

Well done Britain.

>>10270596
We're all so impressed that you sarcastically stated how you're impressed.

>>10270570
Wasn't that just for halloween and that's why it says autumn on it?

the absolute state of britshits

>>10270590
Not that guy but he is probably referring to the corn subsidies in the US, which mostly benefit products that rely on high fructose corn syrup (like most American sodas).
The government doesn't directly force people to buy it, but they do saturate the market with it and make it cheaper than water. The result is that more people buy it.

>>10270590
Your personal decisions are not as perfectly autonomous as you delude yourself into believing. It doesn't matter how smart you are. You are gullible. And it's a governments duty to put checks on the exploitation of that naturally human trait.

>>10270646
Sounds about right. You're a pretty reasonable guy after all.

>>10270631
Irrelevant. It was pushed by the police on fucking groceries.

I'd be really fucking pissed if I walked two miles to the grocery to pick up eggs or something and walked two miles back empty handed. Britain has some serious civil rights issues.

>>10270636
That's exactly what I meant.

And we do also educate and promote sports and healthy eating. There's basically a whole department of government which does that sort of thing.

>>10270646
Yeah because everyone knows the government knows best.

>>10270636
>>10270697
How about you just, you know, take personal responsibility and not be unhealthy? Why do you need bit mummy bing bong to tell you what to eat and drink? Are Yuroshits too dumb to think for themselves?

>britcuck ITT unironically defending their nanny state

>>10270688
>Britain has some serious civil rights issues.
How is that civil rights? Does the owner of the store not have the right to do as they wish?

>>10269780
underage ban

>>10270713
The results speak for themselves. It's not a theoretical question. Corn subsidies have contributed to the obesity problem in America. You can dance around it all you want and say "people should just not get fat, problem solved!" but that won't do anything to address the problem. You are so attached to your individualist ideology that you have blinded yourself to obvious facts.

>>10270719
Get pressured by police to not sell food?

How the fuck is that rights?

>>10270737
So you're saying that the shopkeeper should be forced by the government to sell something he doesn't want to? Maybe his own house got egged by teens and he's bitter about it.

>>10270734
Yes, surely a collectivist mentality without the will of expression, where your existence is replaceable if not outright meaningless, is far better than having some sort of individuality.

Perhaps because no one has the will to control themselves we should put them all under the complete authority of the government, for their own good. Because that's always works out. I mean sometimes worked out. I mean, that one time it worked out. I might, it might work out this time.

You naive idealistic child.

>>10270744
I think it's shit anway but there cannot be that many kids that buy their own fucking groceries and were actually affected by this.

>>10270713
Except that doesn't work does it? According to you we don't need any law at all because people know better than to do bad things.
Hilarious how SEETHING the new worlders are.

>>10270744
Then he should shut his store and stop discriminating based on age; refusing to sell a non-regulated product to one party but not another. That's a crime here.

Whereas in Britain it was being encouraged.

>>10270759
You are just talking to yourself now, man. I never said any of that stuff. Enjoy winning the argument inside your own head, I guess.

>>10270773
>Then he should shut his store
So you think the government forcing shopkeepers to go out of business is greater freedom than letting them decide how to run their business?

>>10270768
Lots of kids get lunch money that they could choose to spend on soda instead, which is what happens, but that's generally from a news agents, not a supermarket.
Also, this isn't a law, it's an initiative being undertaken by select supermarkets, private enterprises.

>>10270785
I was talking about the eggs and flour thing, but you're right, soda is more relevant to kids.

>>10270785
Sorry, energy drinks.

>>10270792
Was that the picture of the poster?

I'm pretty sure that was the only poster like that in the country, probably put up by local council at the request of local schools. I feel like it's not even a thing, let alone the big deal people are trying to make it.

>>10270783
Discrimination is illegal. Unless it's illegal to sell the product to a party, it's discrimination.

Selling but not a person because of age, gender, race, nationality, handicap, religion, gender preference, etc is illegal.

So yes, the government should be forcing them to sell groceries unless a law to sell groceries to minors is passed. This is how rights work.

>>10270805
Yeah you're talking bullshit mate, flour and eggs are not civil rights issues.

>>10270811
Pretty sure if you refused to sell flour and eggs to brown people you'd be up to your eyes in lawsuits and death-threats right now.

Ageism is illegal in the US.

>>10270774
>he can't counter that argument
I live in obesity country and I can guarantee that I out-lift faggots like you, have some responsibility in your life.

>>10270805
You are obviously not a lawyer. The actual law around that is more complicated than you seem to think (that's why the "gay wedding cake" case went all the way to the SCOTUS). Illegal discrimination is only that which targets specified "Protected classes" in the US. Race, religion, national origin, and sex are broadly protected classes. Same for veteran status, marital status, disability, and pregnancy. Age is often discussed as a protected class, but by statute "age discrimination" is only about old people, not teenagers.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_Discrimination_in_Employment_Act_of_1967
For example, housing is one of the most closely monitored areas for discrimination. Yet, in a college town you will see hundreds of rental listings that specify "no undergraduates." That is not illegal age discrimination.

>>10270770
This entire post screams of autism.

>>10270770

>>10270821
Literally what the fuck are you on about man? I'm not "countering your argument" because you aren't even talking to me. I don't have the opinion you seem to think I have, so why would I "counter" you?

>>10270734
And no one is forcing to buy those sugary food, even for those fat americans. Again take some responsibility in your life faggot.

>>10270811
If I ran a store and put up a sign saying I wouldn't sell flour and eggs to niggers I would be run out of town on a rail.

>>10270850
Age is a protected class.

>>10270846
Amazing that you view the suggestion that people take personal responsibility for their own health as a "childish argument". It sheds some insight into the bong mentality.

>>10270857
>more about seeing how big of a mountain can be made of this molehill.
Yeah, so much of this meaningless shit is propagated just to get a reaction out of people. I guarantee that image came from social media. It's "outrage clickbait."

>>10270861
Look at the link I posted. The statutory basis for age as a protected class is protection for people over a given age, not under. In the US children basically don't even have constitutional rights. A kid doesn't have broad freedom of speech at school, for instance.

>>10270840
Then whats your point for rambling in this entire thread? How much did the UK gov pay you?

>>10270868
Not that guy, and not britbong, but it is a childish argument. You are basically saying "not my problem." You aren't proposing a real solution at all, you are just shrugging it off and expecting a pat on the back.

Meh, I'm an American and it makes sense to have age restrictions on soft drinks given the consequences of childhood obesity.

We should tax them more just like cigarettes and try and better educate the public more too.

Public health is important. It's funny that we're criticizing the UK when we spend more per capita on public health, still lack universal healthcare, and have the worst healthcare outcomes almost across the board than any industrialized country.

Until we have a better idea, we should adopt a successful multi-payer model like Germany's and simultaneously do more to tackle obesity and malnutrition. But restricting sale of soft drink, taxing empty calories, changing our agriculture subsidy framework to skew a bit more toward fresh fruit and vegetables, and doing more to educate folks.

>>10271062
Having an obese country is bad for everyone, even the fit people like us. It means that we pay more for health insurance, have less room on airplanes and public transportation, etc. It is best for me personally if there is some means by which to reduce the rate of obesity. One non-governmental way to achieve that would be social pressure and cultural pressure, which already exists (fit people are considered more attractive, fad diets are popular, etc.). Unfortunately that has not reduced the rate of obesity sufficiently. As a fit person I still suffer the negative effects of living in an obese country. Changing agricultural subsidies and reducing childhood obesity (obese children almost universally become obese adults for life) is a logical step to reduce this burden that I bare, despite my personal good health and responsibility.

>>10271083
So what will you do about it? Pretending that it isn't a problem and hoping it will just go away by itself is retarded. Suggest a more effective solution if you know of one. Don't let your fucking ideology blind you.

The cultural problem has been exacerbated by government support for the corn industry and HFCS. The government is already involved, I'm not suggesting that we increase the purview of legislative authority, I'm suggesting that we change existing laws. Nice try though.

Wrong. Subsidies make HFCS cheaper. Price influences demand. Cities with a soda tax have lower soda consumption as a result. I'm against those taxes on other grounds, but it proves the point.

>>10271151
If this thread is any indicator I'm already surrounded by shrieking retardeds so I might as well be free while listening to your disabled cries.

Wrong. We're talking about parents being too stupid to parent, and the government doing it for them. Not what particular subsidies may encourage particular consumption of shitty foods.
Shitty parents are still gunna let their kids eat nothing but mcdonalds and chocolate bars, HFCS or not. It's irrelevant. HFCS does not encourage bad parenting, it's just a correlated symptom.

Not. The. Topic.
HFCS is completely and utterly irrelevant to nanny state practices. Go rant to somebody on facebook if you need somebody to listen to your poorly thought out theories on how to fix health issues. Until you outright ban all these shit foods, including hamburgers, fast foods, fried foods, etc and make everybody only have reasonable options of fresh produce and fruits, then it's not happening. Which swings right back around to nanny states.
Freedom means the freedom to do dumb shit, like guzzle 2L soda bottles and neglect your kids. That's a consequence of it.

>>10271251
The word you used is not the point you made. You say influence, you clearly mean drive.
>They need to be stopped, just like gangs need to be stopped.
No they don't. There's absolutely nothing illegal about eating like trash. Stop letting your autocratic perspective blind you.

>>10271224
I'm talking about before the taxes vs after, in the same location.
Anyway, poorer people in general contribute to the obesity problem much more than wealthier people. That's why raising the price of HFCS would help. The government is literally paying poor people to drink soda when they subsidize corn. Poor people were not fat 100 years ago.

Explain how it won't fix the problem. Subsidies is why everything you listed is filled with HFCS and soy filler.

>>10271351
I own four in case my power goes out.

>>10271376
Because it's not going to stop people from eating mcdonalds or ranch covered pizzas or big piles of trash. Soda doesn't help but it's not the singular sole cause.
If you REALLY want to start fixing this problem, emphasize fitness more in public schools (not just "run a lap now play kickball" PE) and mandate home ec classes so people actually know how to fucking cook basic meals. Then you might to see an actual shift away from eating fast food for every meal because its convenient.

>>10271235
Corn is needed for diesel, all the farmers grow is corn because of diesel and the rest is made into other corn shit. They can't just end subsidies.

It's Bongland, a place so rife with depravity and moral bankruptcy that they even had to restrict the sale of silverware to protect the chilluns.

That's right, if you would like to cut your steak into appropriate sized pieces before eating it, you're obviously a murdering sociopath with contempt for civilization itself! God save the queen, wot.

>The taste difference is barely noticeable. If you were blindly given caffeine free Coke you likely wouldn't even know any better.
I buy caffeine free Coke routinely. My Coke cravings often come about 2-3 hours after dinner, close to bedtime. I can assure you that it handles my craving, but it is NOT close enough to regular Coke that you'd not know it was different. It is missing that crisp bite, and it even tastes more sugary, nearly a Pepsi sweetness. It even comes across less carbonated, slightly more flat.

>>10271301
Our agreements and disagreements aside, I'm curious: do you think restrictions on alcohol and cigarettes should be eliminated?

>>10271391
The cost of diesel can go up a little. They have to strike the right balance.

yes, god forbid that. Do you not realize that the freedom of the people isn't a means to an end? it's a value to be protected in and of itself.

If they are in Germany then why does it say police in English?

>>10272406
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38056243

Don't know. English is a required course in Germany though so I imagine everyone knows what police means there. These pricks have no real power; at best they're guilty of impersonating an officer, disturbing the peace, or some similar German law.

>>10272406
it's probably the UK. There are literal sharia zones all over London.

Tea's actually relatively a low caffeine drink and they're "attacking" energy drinks.

I love the fact that the mutts arguing for self control and good parenting live in an obese country full of child shooters.

Perhaps you should sort out your own country before trying to police the rest of planet earth.

SEETHING

They want people to be able to read it but they don't know a word of German, so they use the English words they learned in Jihadi school. It's not rocket science.

I wonder what's worse, having your kids drinking Coca-Cola or...? What say you, Britain?

>>10273375

Aren't you supposed to be giving your children away to "asian" rape gangs right now? Wouldn't want to be racially insensible now, won't you? That's grounds for arrest, along with owning butter knives.

Not defending the sign at all but it isn't referring to regular soft drinks like Coke, rather high-caffeine shite like Red Bull and Monster.

>>10271049
Get a NoDoz and see for yourself

I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping lately and I'm cutting out all caffeine.

Apart from Coke and energy drinks, are there other soft drinks that contain caffeine?

thankyou. this obviously is only for redbull and monster type stuff. everyone knows its not great for ya. i could've bought it since i was a school kid, but i just bought coke and stuff because red bull tasted like shit and i just knew somehow that it wasn't good for me. good parenting i guess. but now energy drinks are everywhere, they're cheap and they taste great. this is a good decision.

it's a turkish invention, co-opted by the jew for the purposes of making mad shekles on addicted goyim

just like diamonds it works on the hype around it, and you are an idiot to drink it

Are they banning it for youngsters because it's addictive? That's the only reason I could think of. Yeah, I'm completely addicted to caffeine. I drink lots of coffee everyday, but it has benefits too. They say the antioxidants prevent cancer

>>10278928
>SENSATIVE

To be honest caffeine the way it's regarded by popular media is 99% a placebo.
Drinking a can of redbull will not transform your 10 year old cousin into some hyper active wirbelwind that can't be stopped unless he thinks that's the effect it has and acts according to his self-imposed "role".

Obviously caffeine does have an actual effect on the body, but unless you are literally chugging pills by the dozen it's basically impossible to orally ingest enough to lead to any serious "craziness". Most of the caffeine addiction syndromes people show are purely mental as well and mostly stem from the ritual of drinking coffee and what they associate with it. Of course you can become physically dependent on it, but it's not nearly as wide spread and all prevalent as people think.

>>10270987
As a libertarian, I agree. Sugar tax should be low and flat, and only on goods with a certain threshold so to encourage same-brand goods to be lowered in sugar. This is not to "guide the market" but to label certain things as "sugar drugs" and "food". After a point, the need is compulsive, not necessary, so we should "top-shelf" it through tax.
Not even being ironic.

Energy drinks have had to put "not recommended for children" on their cans for ages, this is just stores taking it upon themselves to go another step beyond that.
