5 Debbie S.  · Don't like classic lemon lemonade – Please bring the "real" lemonade back. The new classic lemon flavour is not nice at all. Will not buy it. YUK
3 Russell G.  · Has the recipe changed? – What has happened to the taste of lemonade? Seems to be quite different in recent times. Not as good. In my opinion.
2 jay dee  · ugly packaging – hate how every packaging is so minimal these days... no soul or personality bring back the original schweppes
1 Mads  · No fizz at all – Yet again trusted the label but no better no fizz no lemonade taste 2% lemon I don’t think so very poor.

Classic Lemonade Original & the Best – Dark blue label Schweppes lemonade is one of my classic stsples just the right amount of sugars & fizz & no artificial colours Do Not like the light blue label lemonade it is a cop out Give us back the original & stop messing with the recipe If it aint broke don’t fix it Show details

A shadow of it’s former self – Not sure why this product is discontinued because it isn’t. It has clearly been value engineered recently and the results are terrible. It taste like water down lemonade and no doubt you’re still paying the same price that you were before. This is what companies do in order to extract extra profit out of their product in the hope that consumers… Read more

won’t notice but they run the risk of destroying the product which in this case they certainly have. Good luck with this Asahi. People will vote with their wallets.

What have you done to the lemonade? – You have changed the lemonade with no consultation with your customers. I have been drinking this Schweppes lemonade for 57 years and I will never again buy your products. It is weak and insipid with almost no carbonation. You can thank whoever signed off on the change for your loss of business. Please go back to the original recipe.

Fizz disappeared – I've always paid more for Schweppes because it tastes good and it holds it's fizz - not any more, it's not holding its fizz at all. Are they trying to get us just to buy the smaller bottles?? I don't want more chemicals added to keep the fizz but… Read more

there has to be a better answer, like is it the lid to blame or the fact the bottle is plastic? When I contacted them I was told that bottles hold their fizz better but you can't buy bottles in the larger size, just the smaller bottles, not economical at all.

 Follow-up  · Since originally writing this I now buy only bottles, you can still only buy small bottles, it works out much more expensive, but I guess because it's just a small bottle and used faster, there's no problem with keeping the fizz.

Lemonade Great not the lids – I have been using the lemonade for years just recently the opening of the tops have been problematic they do not open correctly and have caused injury to my fingers with the excess plastic they need to review the production line on this issue

Zero sugar rocks – Best thing I’ve had, I hate coke no sugar or Pepsi no sugar. I love flat lemonade so this works for me and helps with my weight. These sodas have too much sugar so I won’t stop with this. Amazing creation Show details

No more Schweppes for me – Disappointed wth the new Schweppes lemonade. I loved the old one as it wasn’t as sweet as other big brands. Good as a mixer for a Shandy

Shweppes COCONUT "Classic Lemonade" – TASTES LIKE I AM DRINKING COCONUT WATER! Why did they ever change the taste in 1996 after they did tasted like coconut water to me just fizzy these days it doesn't even taste like that. Classic lemonade Umm... No and it never has been since they changed the taste back in 1996. Show details

What happend to the taste – What has happend to the taste. I have only ever bought Schweppes lemonade because I loved the taste and it was sweet. I thought it must have been the sugar free in the new packaging, it really is not the same.

What Happened?? – Schweppes Lemonade - my usual favourite is now almost pure soda water with a hint of lemon flavour… what happened?? I took my last carton back because I thought it was defective and flat - now I realise the recipe must have changed! Can’t say I’ll be returning anytime soon - Kirk’s lemonade is definitely much better for flavour and cheaper at that!! Show details

Another product that’s been ruined – Congratulations Schweppes. Your normal, standard issue lemonade now tastes like tonic water with a squirt of Lemon. It either has far less sugar, or an alternative sweetener. Put this crap in a bottle with a different label, but don’t change the old standard lemonade and say nothing. Buy any other lemonade, but not this trash. Go woke, go broke. Show details

Schweppes Sars. Flat – I have found that Schweppes Sars in plasctic bottles low on gas and flat tasting. Flavour is OK. The best Sars I have tasted came from McMahons in Ipswich who I believe was bought out by Schweppes. Show details

Downsizing !!! Again – I might be wrong but i have noticed that there seems to be a reduction in the size of the bottles. Noticed in Coles. DOWNSIZING !!!! 1.25 lt bottles, no more !!!!! !.1 Lt instead. but of course price remains the same !!!! this might start a trend by the other companies !!!! Noted Woolworths have still got 1.25 Lt bottles but have to wait and see !!!

Flat lemonade – No matter how tight we put the lid on, it goes flat really quickly, we have even had unopened bottles , with not much fizz, very disappointing.

Where is the fizz? – There is virtually no fizz in either bottles or cans. Has been a favourite for years but about to stop buying! Schweppes can you please fix this ASAP? It’s almost just like drinking water... so disappointing!

What have you done to your product – I have been buying Schweppes lemonade for as long as I can remember. The taste has changed, it has a flowery taste and no fizz. I have often thought it was a bad batch or the heat in different countries have made a difference but no. After buying about 8 different bottles they all taste the same.

Disappointed – On the slimline lemonade it clearly states ZERO SUGAR , ZERO CALORIES!! yet when you read the label it states 5 calories per 250ml. Which amounts to 40 calories per bottle??!!!.......

Complaint – I’ve been drinking swcheppes lemonade for years now, but the last few months I’ve been disappointed as soon as you open the bottle it looses its fizz which is very disappointing because it didn’t before, the worst thing is it’s not cheap but the cheap lemonade stays fizzy longer very disappointing something needs to be done about this.

Best sugar free lemonade for me – Best sugar free lemonade for me. Cans are nicely made, they're not excessively sweet as I'd expect from a diet product, i can have 2-3 in a row and taste is not disturbing or overwhelming. Strangely.. very hard to find.. i have to make many trips to supermarkets and keep an eye on shelves hoping to find them. Also no picture in their… Read more

Short Fizz – I beleived Schweppes took pride in the amount of fizz in their drinks, but im fed up with buying them when the next day there are no bubbles. Are we meant to consume it within a short time period. Im not kidding the next day no matter how hard you put the cap on the next day it is flat. Flat the next day - no bubbles

Refreshing! – I always buy the sugar-free version. It is lovely on it's own and also great as a mixer with Juice. My children enjoy it too as a special treat. Refreshing and not sickly. Tastes like lemonade should! Can be quite expensive but Coles often have it on special so I try to stock up! Taste. Can be expensive if not on offer.

Yummy lemonade – My favourite Lemonade. It has a lovely refreshing taste. It is light and full of bubbles. Doesn't leave that sickly sweet taste in your mouth that some other brands do. Well priced Inexpensive, tasty

OK – This is really lovely and refreshing lemonade which is great to drink on a hot summer's evening. It is great to have when you want something refreshing and cool to drink and you can really enjoy the fantastic taste of lemons. I like the sugar free variety which doesnt have the sugar free aftertaste that some lemon drinks have. I also love having… Read more

this in the summer because its so light and smells so lemony and reminds me of summer. Its also great to mix with other drinks and since its clear liquid, it looks like when you add some fruit juice to it and they make the most beautiful colours which make them even more appealing to drink. I love drinking this during the warmer months and since its sugar free, I dont feel guilty when I drink it. This is a nice change away from the colas, and its very light and refreshing. It can be expensive if you buy it straight off the shelf, so I usually buy it on sale.
