American sodas
This is the part of the aisle where the novelty flavours live. Fanta leads with its American flavours, grape, berry and pineapple. Dr Pepper offers cherry, vanilla float and cream soda, and Mountain Dew brings the American flavours Britain rarely tastes. The classics are here too in their American forms, from Pepsi and Coca-Cola.
British favourites
The home team, all in one place. IRN-BRU, the Scottish icon, stands side by side with Lucozade, Tango, Rubicon and 7UP, so you can keep the home-grown British soft drinks in stock alongside the imports.
Asian imports
The rest of the sodas, from Japan, Korea, China and Thailand, are gathered here. The chocolate banana Fanta, lychee Fanta and hami melon Fanta live in this section, along with Mogu Mogu and its chewy nata de coco bits, Singha Thai soda including the ume soda water, Korean Milkis and Chilsung, plus Rio and Vita Coco.
Energy drinks
The caffeine capital. Monster covers the Ultra range, the Java coffee line and the variety packs UK shops tend to skip, and Red Bull includes the original Thai Krating Daeng gold can, a non-carbonated, syrupy formula that tastes very different from the Western one. For the gym crowd there is Sneak Energy and Grenade.
Sports and fitness drinks
Gatorade is the American-style range, with flavours like Cool Blue, Frost Glacier Freeze and Riptide Rush and an electrolyte and flavour profile markedly different from UK Lucozade Sport. There are also High 5, Good To Go and Huel, the meal in a bottle.
Iced tea and ready-to-drink coffee
The easy-sipping corner. AriZona iced tea in Mucho Mango, Strawberry Lemonade and the famous 23.5oz tall cans leads for the low-caffeine crowd. For a cold coffee, Costa ready-to-drink cans stand alongside Sides Coffee, the Sidemen's iced coffee.
Why imported drinks taste different
On British shelves you find only a small sample of the flavours these brands make. American Fanta alone has dozens that never reach here, Dr Pepper has cream and cherry variants sold only as imports, and Monster has more than fifty flavours worldwide. Red Bull was created in Thailand in 1976 as Krating Daeng, and the original is still sold there in a gold can, a non-carbonated, syrupy formula.
The recipes vary too. American versions often use high fructose corn syrup and colours like Yellow 6 and Red 40, so American Fanta tastes brighter and sweeter than the British one straight away. British recipes moved toward lower sugar after the 2018 soft drinks levy, so the imports taste closer to what people remember from travelling abroad or from the videos they watch.
Drinks: frequently asked questions
What drinks do you stock?
Drinks from around the world: American sodas like Fanta and Dr Pepper, British favourites like IRN-BRU and Tango, Asian imports like Mogu Mogu, Singha, Milkis and the viral novelty Fanta flavours, plus energy drinks (Monster, Red Bull), sports drinks (Gatorade), AriZona iced tea and ready-to-drink coffee. It is a mix of the flavours and formats UK supermarkets do not reliably carry.
What Fanta flavours do you stock?
A wide selection of Fanta from around the world, well beyond the UK orange. That includes American flavours like grape, berry and pineapple, and the sought-after Asian novelty flavours people search for, such as chocolate banana Fanta, lychee Fanta and hami melon Fanta. The exact line-up changes with each import, so check the Fanta collection for what is in stock now.
What is Thai Red Bull (Krating Daeng)?
Krating Daeng is the original energy drink, created in 1976 by Chaleo Yoovidhya, that grew into the Red Bull known worldwide. Austrian businessman Dietrich Mateschitz discovered it in the 1980s and launched the carbonated Western version in 1987. The original Thai version is still a syrupy, non-carbonated drink, most recognisable in the 250ml gold can, and it drinks very differently to the Western one.
Why is American Fanta different from UK Fanta?
Both are made by Coca-Cola but to different recipes. American Fanta uses high fructose corn syrup and American colours such as Yellow 6 and Red 40, which give it a brighter orange colour and a sweeter taste than UK Fanta. UK Fanta has had a lower sugar content since the 2018 soft drinks levy and uses vegetable extracts for colour, so the two taste noticeably different.
Do imported drinks contain UK warning colours?
Some do, but they are legal to sell. Colours like Yellow 6 (E110) and Red 40 (E129) require a warning label in the UK about a possible effect on children's activity and attention, rather than being banned. American Fanta, Mountain Dew and certain Gatorade flavours contain them, while Thai Red Bull and most AriZona iced teas do not. Always check the label on the individual can or bottle.
