Coca Cola alternatives (lemmy.world)

My one vice is diet caffeine free coke, I’m so rock and roll. Trying to find a UK/EU alternative I keep finding almost all drink brands are owned by Coke or Pepsi. These companies which originated in the USA have entities in the EU, which complicates the decision. Can anyone recommend a wholly UK(ideally) or EU alternative that’s reasonably priced?

There's Sodastream. I don't know if you want to include them in your boycott, they're from Israel.

At least they seem to pay their employees the same (Israeli) standard of wage regardless of their ethnicity.

Not really sure why, I've never liked sodastream as brand, so I usually discard them as option.

I've been trying FruttaMax syrups, and just now I've found they make a cola flavored one, so I will try

Also, looking for this yesterday, I found ElevenFit for flavouring, but they deliver as powder instead of syrup. They seem to do the packaging within my region, so I will definitely try it soon even when I am not too inclined to use powdered products.
