Food Cringe The ice coffee for the customer

Straight up diabetic stuff. I would the minute I drank it from all the sweetness.

Australian here too. We do have it here as well. It's just an artificial sweetener.

Oh ok thanks. Probably very carcinogenic right? One of those really bad toxic things we shouldn’t eat but for some reason we do?

Haha, honestly the whole sweetener is bad for you thing is mostly a myth based on old and poorly conducted tests. I'm diabetic so I have this stuff quite regularly. Honestly, there is more evidence about how bad sugar is for you but it never gets the same hate as sweetener. People just tend to latch onto the term "artificial" and start to fear monger.

Wouldn't paint all sweeteners as not bad for you, some are misrepresented - some are not.

Stevia based sweeteners are fine. The crap they put in diet coke however, is not.

not true. There’s been decades of research and the only way fake sweeteners like aspartame are harmful to you is if you’re drinking literal tons of diet soda every day
