Can you buy Sprite Zero in Ecuador

Post new topic

I'm based down near Baños and I've been searching here and in Ambato for Sprite Zero/SinAzucar with no luck at the big S/mkts.
I'm heading up to Quito next week anyone know where I can buy it? Can I buy it?
Or anything similar like 7Up or limonada flavour but defnitely as a Zero/SinAzucar

Sprite Zero, known years ago as Sugar Free Sprite, may be perfectly safe in moderate quantities.

If you want to learn about studies showing cancerous effects among lab animals due to Sprite Zero's sweetener aspartame, packaged also as Equal, you can find such studies online.  The lab rats consumed large quantities of aspartame.

The FDA established the safe daily intake of aspartame decades ago as the the amount of aspartame in more than a dozen cans of diet soda. 

My grandmother's admonition probably applies .. "Everything in moderation."

The "regular" sprite and 7up are both sugar free by default in Ecuador. It took me more than a year to realize this, I just one day read the label and saw both were sugar free

Thanks..  I'll check it out!
That's interesting I wondering if that's just the plastic bottles (ie 500mL, 1.5L, 3L etc) or if also for the returnable glass bottles as well.

To be honest, I only read the labels on the plastic bottles🙂
