McDonald’s is eradicating Diet Coke from its menus in Australia completely.
The drink will stop to be offered at eating places throughout the nation when inventory is offered out.
McDonald’s says clients now favor different drinks resembling Coke No Sugar as a substitute of Diet.
“At McDonald’s, we are committed to providing great-tasting, great-value food and drinks our customers know and love,” a spokesman stated.
“We regularly review and evolve our menu to meet changing consumer tastes and preferences.
“In response to customer feedback and growing popularity for other low- to no-sugar beverages, McDonald’s will no longer offer Diet Coca-Cola across Australian restaurants from 11 January 2023.
“McDonald’s continues to offer a range of beverage choices for consumers, including Coca-Cola No Sugar, Sprite Zero Sugar and Frozen Coke No Sugar.”
Outraged clients have already slammed the news.
“Nooo! I hate the taste of Coke and Coke No Sugar. I love Diet Coke. I don’t eat Macca’s that often but def losing a customer here,” one particular person stated on-line.
“Another purpose to not go to McDonald’s. I can‘t actually drink the Coca-Cola No Sugar varieties without some quite severe gastric problems. Diet Coke is one of the few soft drinks I can safely drink!” another said.
Others have brushed off the move.
“It’s actually the identical factor as Coke Zero/no sugar. It’s simply mushy drink. Who cares,” one particular person stated.
It follows the choice to not promote Sprite in retailer in favour of the no sugar selection.
“McDonald’s Australia has recently moved to Sprite No Sugar across its restaurants nationwide,” a spokesman confirmed on the time.
“We look forward to hearing customer feedback on the new beverage option.”
