In 2018 the “Sugar Tax” was introduced in the UK, apparently to help force the reduction of sugar in drinks to combat obesity. (Thanks Nanny State Britain).

All our soft drinks now taste like shit. I’ve discovered this absolute master stroke of bullshit though...
The much loved @RubiconDrinksUK Rubicon Mango drink was nerfed into a disgusting flavour due to the Sugar Tax.

Now though, they’ve repackaged the pre-Sugar Tax Rubicon Mango and sold it at a higher price as a “Deluxe” edition. It’s just the standard Rubicon Mango pre-2018. Fml.
I know no-one else in the world probably cares, but stuff like this sends me into a quiet despair. This constant bullshit chips away at me, day by day. It’s what will cause my early onset heart attack no doubt.
