Aussie shoppers furious over 'sneaky' new detail in Pepsi and Mountain Dew: 'Absolute scandal'
Shoppers are furious after discovering the original recipes of the iconic Pepsi and Mountain Dew soft drinks have been quietly changed. Russell Stuart, known as Russ Eats on social media, went on an expletive rage when he noticed the heath star ratings had switched from 0.5 to 1.5 stars. Upon a closer look at the ingredients list on the label, up to 35 per cent of the sugar has been replaced with sweetener. 'Worst news in f***ing junk food history - this is going to make some people cry. Full sugar Pepsi and Mountain Dew are gone,' Russ said in his video. 'Now the packaging looks the same, that's what's so sneaky. But the health star has went up. Guess what? They've taken out some of the sugar and added sweetener. 'Look at the Mountain Dew, there was sugar, now there's sweetener. Absolute bulls***... Full sugar Pepsi should not be touched.' Russ pointed out that Sprite, Fanta and Lift varieties all have versions with reduced sugar content following tweaks to their original recipes, which he isn't a fan of. 'They did this with Sprite, Fanta and Lift - and they all suck now,' he said. Shoppers are furious after discovering the original recipes of the iconic Pepsi and Mountain Dew soft drinks have been quietly changed. Russell Stuart, known as Russ Eats, went on an expletive rage when he noticed the heath star ratings had switched from 0.5 to 1.5 stars 'Remember when Coke changed the recipe? I wasn't born (at the time), but apparently people nearly punched on.' The food content creator went on to say that if consumers preferred less sugar, they would choose Pepsi Max or Mountain Dew No Sugar options. 'Why a half a*** version? That would only make sense maybe in sports drinks, not fizzy. Even diabetics rely on the full sugar versions to get their sugar levels up when they go low,' Russ said. 'We had a half a*** Pepsi before, it was called Pepsi Next... There was Coke Life, no c*** bought them, they went off the f***ing shelves. 'Now they've done it secretly to the ones we love. This is an absolute scandal.' PepsiCo responds PepsiCo, which owns Pepsi and Mountain Dew, confirmed the ingredients have been altered. There is still sugar in the new formulas of the soft drinks - just less of it. 'We have reduced the sugar content in Pepsi and Mountain Dew in response to consumers who tell us they are looking for products that contain less sugar,' a PepsiCo spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia. 'The new formulas contain low-calorie sweeteners and a lower sugar content. 'We've also undertaken extensive sensory research to ensure we're still delivering the same great taste consumers know and love.' Russ's video has been viewed more than 600,000 times - with many saying they were devastated by the change to their popular beverages. 'Not my Dew…. NOT MY DEW,' one said, crying. 'They ruined Mountain Dew when they made it energised. It was perfect as it was 10 years ago,' another shared. 'I'm fuming about the Mountain Dew! Why are they forcing no sugar on us?' one raged. 'If it tastes different I'll cry. I don't even like the no sugar drinks as it is. They have a weird aftertaste - I'd still have them but they're not preferred especially with soft drinks,' one added. 'How dare they do this to me. I honestly drink Mountain Dew everyday for the past eight years, I have been noticing that they taste different recently,' another shared. Many explained that if they wanted low sugar alternatives, they would choose sugar-free versions. Meanwhile, many expressed their emotions after their favourite soft drinks were either tweaked or taken off the shelves. 'I cried when they removed Diet Coke from Maccas, planes and pubs. It sucks,' one confessed. 'THAT'S why I hate Fanta now... I didn't realise,' another shared, suggesting they had only just discovered that their go-to soft drink now has reduced sugar. While one suggested: 'As long as they don't EVER change Pepsi Max or normal Coke I'll sleep well at night.'

New Look's suede jacket for festivals that 'looks really expensive' now 40% less
Get festival ready by taking advantage of the high street retailer's discount. Still looking for something to wear this festival season? Then New Look shoppers have found just the jacket that is perfectly in fashion for summer '25. The western/cowboy-style trend has been on our radar pretty much this entire season, with many retailers offering boho-inspired edits that would look perfect at the likes of TRNSMT and Reading. Which is exactly why we were delighted to spot New Look's Tan Fringe Trimmed Faux Suede Jacket, which matches the 'in' style at the moment, currently enjoying a 40 per cent discount online. Retailing at £49.99, fashion fans can bag it for just £29.99, saving a decent £20 off the RRP. With suede back in for summer and more festivals set to take place in the coming months, we expect this to be a popular deal. With its "edgy" biker jacket silhouette, faux-suede material and fringed trims, it won't look out of place when worn with some frayed denim shorts, a basic tee and wellies when walking through the fields to catch your favourite music acts. Tan Fringe Trimmed Faux Suede Jacket Product Description The interior of the jacket is fully lined, while long sleeves, a collared neckline, a front zip and handy zipped side pockets that can stash smaller items such as a phone complete the design. As of writing, festival-goers will still be able to pick this tan-coloured jacket up in sizes six to 18 from the high street retailer's website. For anyone who'd maybe prefer a different material to suede, then we have spotted this Faux Leather Fringe Biker Jacket by V for Very on offer £22, reduced from £55, saving £33 off the RRP. For shoppers who'd prefer a sleeveless design that won't cause them to overheat amidst the higher temperatures, then we'd recommend looking into ASOS' premium suede fringe gilet in light tan as an alternative, although it is pricey at £180. As for New Look's own suede jacket, there's no denying that it ticks off all the trends for festival season, so it's not surprising to see that it has a 4.5 rating from shoppers who have said it "looks really expensive." One shopper who purchased it said: "Perfect fit - looks really expensive but was very reasonable." A second five-star review read: "Great jacket. Fits well, I bought size 12. It is lined and has zip pockets. My new fav jacket." Not everyone was impressed, as one shopper was left disappointed with both style and material. Leaving a three-star review, they wrote: "Lovely design but short and a lot of puckering The first jacket I've ever had from New Look that wasn't up to scratch. Fashion deal of the week Looking to make a statement this summer? Then this is the wardrobe update you need. Roman's Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Maxi Dress is said to be such a show-stopper, that customers say they get "stopped" and asked "where they bought it from." While it does retail at £48, fashion fans can add this pop of colour to their summer style for less, as the clothing retailer is offering it for 10 per cent less when using the code HAPPY at the checkout, reducing the total cost to £43.20. Falling to a floaty maxi-length hemline, it offers a "flattering" effect on the figure thanks to its fit-and-flare design, thick ruched waistline and tie-belt feature, all which will help streamline and cinch the body. Its short sleeves, lightweight material and its multi-coloured all-over floral print design make it the ultimate breezy and "eye-catching" choice for the current hot, humid days we are experiencing. Finished with a chic V-neckline and a wooden button detailing down the front, this colourful maxi dress is ideal for pairing with some chunky wedge sandals and maybe even a denim jacket for the unpredictable summer weather. The £48 frock is still available to buy in sizes 10 through to 20. There's also a pink floral version that is a touch less vibrant than the fuchsia colourway in the same sizes, with the exception of a 12. Averaging a near perfect 4.9 rating, one shopper praised: "I have this dress and wore it for the first time today. Went out to lunch and a number of people stopped me to say how nice my dress was. I can't remember the last time that happened." A second admiring shopper wrote: "Absolutely stunning so feminine, floaty got quite a few compliments. It will be going to Greece with me this year." "Also didn't hang well, but I'm an older customer who needs things to fit well and look smart, which as I said usually, I've never had any problems. Maybe was just this particular one. Might order another one to see if better made." It was the only negative review, as another pleased customer said: "Happy with this jacket. Bought for a present as the person is also having cowgirl boots from America to complement it."
