• Can these machines even operate using glucose syrup? They seem to be attempting to get in on the non-corn syrup craze, but I don’t think they’re physically capable of using what they’re implying, but not stating.

      Rest of the world exists you know, where corn doesn’t get insane subsidies and sugar cane / beet is far cheaper than corn syrup.

      Ingredients of our Cola bag-in-box for postmix machine: Water, sugar, colouring (sulphite ammonia caramel), acid (phosphoric acid), flavourings (contains caffeine), sweeteners (acesulfame-K, sucralose), preservative (sodium benzoate), anti-foaming agent (dimethylpolysiloxane)

      Oh, sugar tax and health labels (green A good, red E bad) made everyone cut back a little and add some sweetener… Meh.
