I very rarely drink soft drinks now - too sweet.
Back in the 1950s I used to love tizer, it had a lovely caramel taste as far as I can remember, but either my taste buds have changed or the taste of tizer has changed, because after reminiscing about it recently I bought a bottle. It was horrid. No other flavour apart from sickly sweetness.

I used to know an elderly Scottish lady who couldn't drink tea for medical reasons so when other people were having tea she would have a cup of hot water. She called it 'silver tea'.
