Households stocking a drinks cupboard
A 24-can case puts several drinks in one shop. Check the can size and whether the household has room for a full case before choosing the pack.
Who might choose a multipack?
Families choosing zero-sugar cans
Pepsi MAX, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Dr Pepper Zero and Sprite No Sugar each have a verified 24 × 330ml listing with zero sugar stated on the relevant product information. Choose the flavour people will drink, rather than treating these as interchangeable.
Households with mixed flavour or caffeine preferences
One large case may not suit everyone. A caffeine-free cola can address a different preference from a standard cola, while an 8 × 330ml Fanta Orange Zero pack offers an orange option without committing to 24 cans.
What matters when choosing a case?
Start with the cans people will drink, then compare the exact pack format and label information. A zero-sugar name alone does not answer the caffeine question.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar per can | Read sugars per 330ml serving on the exact label. Asda lists 35g for Coca-Cola Original Taste; the verified Pepsi MAX, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Dr Pepper Zero cases state 0g. | If I want a zero-sugar case, I need the specific formulation, not just a familiar cola brand. |
| Pack size | Compare both can count and can volume: 24 × 330ml is 7.92 litres. The verified Fanta Orange Zero listing is 8 × 330ml, not a 24-can case. | A full case suits me if the household will drink that flavour; otherwise I would rather choose a smaller variety pack. |
| Caffeine and ingredients | Check the exact drink’s caffeine declaration, ingredients and label warnings. Pepsi describes Pepsi MAX No Caffeine as a separate zero-sugar, caffeine-free formulation. | Someone at home avoids caffeine, so I cannot use a standard zero-sugar cola as a substitute without checking its label. |
| Flavour | Decide whether the main case should be cola, lemon and lime, or another flavour. Your Coca-Cola UK lists Sprite No Sugar as 24 × 330ml; Asda lists Fanta Orange Zero as 8 × 330ml. | Several people prefer different drinks, so one household favourite could be the main case and another flavour a smaller addition. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Treating all cola cans as the same on the label
Asda lists 35g sugars per 330ml Coca-Cola Original Taste can, while the verified zero-sugar cola cases state 0g per 330ml serving. The distinction still matters when buying several cans at once.
Check the full product name and nutrition panel before selecting a regular or zero-sugar case.
-
Assuming zero sugar also means caffeine free
Standard zero-sugar colas can contain caffeine. Pepsi MAX No Caffeine is a distinct formulation, not another name for standard Pepsi MAX.
If caffeine avoidance matters, check the exact formulation and the can’s ingredient information.
-
Choosing 24 cans before agreeing on the flavour
A large case of one drink may leave some household preferences uncovered. The verified orange Fanta multipack, for example, contains eight cans rather than 24.
Choose a main case people will drink, then consider another pack only if a different flavour or caffeine option is wanted.
Brands and drink ranges to consider
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Coca-Cola Original Taste are different choices when selecting a cola case.
- Tesco lists Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in a 24 × 330ml format with 0g sugars per can.
- Asda lists 35g sugars per 330ml can of Coca-Cola Original Taste; check which formulation is in the basket.
Pepsi
Pepsi MAX is a zero-sugar cola case; Pepsi MAX No Caffeine is a separate option for those avoiding caffeine.
- Tesco lists Pepsi MAX as 24 × 330ml with 0g sugars per can.
- Check the exact pack and formulation if caffeine-free cola is required.
Dr Pepper
Dr Pepper Zero offers a distinct flavour in a verified 24 × 330ml case.
- Asda lists 0g sugars per serving for Dr Pepper Zero.
- The listed drink contains caffeine, so it is not a caffeine-free choice.
Sprite
Sprite No Sugar is a lemon-and-lime alternative to a cola case.
- Your Coca-Cola UK lists a 24 × 330ml Sprite No Sugar pack and states zero sugar per can.
- Check the ingredients and label warnings for the exact pack where these matter to the household.
Fanta
Fanta Orange Zero offers an orange option in a smaller verified multipack.
- Asda lists an 8 × 330ml pack and describes the drink as caffeine free.
- Its label lists 1.3g sugars per can; the verified pack is not a 24-can case.

Questions about fizzy drink multipacks
Is a zero-sugar fizzy drink automatically caffeine free?
No. Standard Pepsi MAX, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Dr Pepper Zero contain caffeine, while Pepsi describes Pepsi MAX No Caffeine as a separate zero-sugar, caffeine-free formulation. Check the label for the exact drink and flavour.
How do regular and zero-sugar Coca-Cola cans differ on the label?
Asda lists 35g sugars per 330ml can of Coca-Cola Original Taste, while Tesco lists 0g sugars per 330ml can of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Check the full product name and serving size when choosing a case, because the two formulations are not interchangeable.
