Haha long story short, I was in the middle of one of the *stan countries driving through and we bought a 12 pack of 2 litre bottles that we didn’t realise was sparkling. Making cheap packet pasta, coffee and brushing your teeth with sparkling water is not fun!

Totally agree. Since they have a super tax here all the drinks have gone either fully diet or reduced sugar and added sweeteners to it.
I can’t stand it. Coke is basically the only hold out left and the full sugar version is getting less and less prominent in supermarkets.

It should but it wont.

Yeah everyone seems to think the properties will end up in the hands of owner/occupiers. What likely will happen is they will get snapped up by corporates. The bigger they get the worse it will be. There are some shitty individual landlords out there for sure but I can guarantee that EVERY corporate one will be evil incarnate… law of unintended consequences will slam hard here
