For a lecture lunch, a 330ml can gives you a clearly portioned drink: Sainsbury's Diet Cloudy Lemonade comes in 330ml cans, while Asda's 500ml 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade listing counts two 250ml servings. A larger bottle may suit several planned lunches if you can refrigerate it after opening; compare total sugars, ingredients and the amount you intend to drink rather than relying on the front-of-pack claim alone.
A can provides a defined portion without carrying a larger bottle. Sainsbury's lists its Diet Cloudy Lemonade in 330ml cans; Asda lists two 250ml servings in its 500ml 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade bottle. Check the serving panel if you expect to drink the whole bottle.
Read total sugars and energy per 100ml, then check the stated serving size. Tesco Groceries lists 0.2g sugars per 100ml for its No Added Sugar Cloudy Lemonade, while Asda lists 0g sugars per 250ml serving for 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade. The wording on the front does not make those figures interchangeable.
A 1L or 2L bottle is easier to plan around when there is fridge space and several occasions to use it. Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury's instruct shoppers to refrigerate their listed 2L cloudy lemonades after opening and use them within three days.
Start with the amount you will take to lunch, then compare nutrition on the same volume basis and read the ingredients and storage directions for the specific drink.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Total sugars and energy | Compare both figures per 100ml, then use the pack's stated serving to calculate what you intend to drink. Tesco Groceries lists 0.2g sugars per 100ml for its no-added-sugar cloudy lemonade; Asda lists 0g per 250ml for 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade. | I want to compare the drink I would actually have at lunch, not assume that “no added sugar” means 0g total sugars. |
| Lunch portion | Check the pack size and number of servings. Sainsbury's Diet Cloudy Lemonade is sold in 330ml cans; Asda states that its 500ml 7UP bottle contains two 250ml servings. | A single can would be straightforward to take between lectures. If I choose a larger bottle, I want to know whether I'll drink all of it at lunch. |
| Ingredients and warnings | Read the current ingredient list and any warnings rather than assuming diet lemonades use the same sweeteners. Asda's 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade listing carries a source-of-phenylalanine warning. | If a particular ingredient or warning matters to me, the exact pack matters more than its zero-sugar wording. |
| Storage after opening | Check whether you can refrigerate a bottle and finish it within the labelled period. Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury's say to refrigerate their listed 2L cloudy lemonades after opening and use them within three days. | For several lunches or a shared fridge, I need a plan for the opened bottle; otherwise, a portioned can may be simpler. |
The drinks can show different total-sugars figures. Tesco Groceries lists 0.2g per 100ml for its No Added Sugar Cloudy Lemonade, whereas Asda lists 0g per 250ml serving for 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade.
Use the total-sugars line on each nutrition panel and compare like volumes before deciding how much to take.
Asda's 500ml 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade bottle contains two stated 250ml servings. The bottle's nutrition figure per serving therefore describes half the bottle.
Check both the serving size and bottle volume if you plan to drink the whole pack at lunch.
Products with similar sugar claims need not have the same ingredients. Asda's 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade listing carries a source-of-phenylalanine warning.
Read the current pack, particularly when switching products or when a specific ingredient or warning affects your choice.
These examples show how pack sizes and stated nutrition differ between specific listed lemonades; a brand name alone does not tell you the serving size or ingredients.
Tesco No Added Sugar Cloudy Lemonade is listed as a 2L bottle, a format to consider for a shared fridge rather than carrying between lectures.
Sainsbury's lists both a 2L no-added-sugar cloudy lemonade and Diet Cloudy Lemonade in six 330ml cans.
Asda lists 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade as a 500ml bottle with two 250ml servings.
M&S Diet Lemonade is listed by Ocado in a 1L bottle, rather than as an individual lunch can.

The 24-can pack lets you take one 330ml can for lunch and keep the remaining cans for other occasions. Check the current can label for nutrition, ingredients and warnings before choosing it.
No. Tesco Groceries lists 0.2g total sugars per 100ml for Tesco No Added Sugar Cloudy Lemonade, while Asda lists 0g per 250ml serving for 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade. Compare the total-sugars line and the stated serving on the drinks you are considering.
A can gives you a defined portion: Sainsbury's Diet Cloudy Lemonade comes in 330ml cans. If you prefer a bottle, note that Asda lists two 250ml servings in its 500ml 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade bottle; choose the amount you intend to drink rather than treating every bottle as one serving.
Yes, if particular ingredients matter to your choice. Sainsbury's lists sucralose and acesulfame K in its no-added-sugar cloudy lemonade; read the current ingredient panel rather than assuming different products have the same formulation.
Asda's listing for 7UP Zero Sugar Pink Lemonade states that it contains a source of phenylalanine. Read the warning on the current pack if phenylalanine affects your choice; a zero-sugars claim does not tell you whether that warning is present.
Follow the instructions on the bottle you buy. Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury's say to refrigerate their listed 2L cloudy lemonades after opening and use them within three days, so plan fridge space and portions before buying a bottle for several lunches.
