Diet Carbonated Beverages

Diet carbonated beverages are fizzy drinks that replace sugar with low-calorie sweeteners — in this case sodium saccharin — to deliver sweetness without the kilojoules. They come in a range of flavours including lemon-lime, orange, ginger ale, and various fruit blends.

These drinks fill the same role as regular soft drinks: a cold, fizzy refreshment on their own or as a mixer. The absence of sugar gives them a lighter, sometimes slightly different mouthfeel compared to their full-sugar counterparts.

Diet soft drinks have been part of the Australian beverage market for decades and are widely available in supermarkets, convenience stores, and food service.
