Popular throughout Switzerland for decades: the cult ice tea lemon. The iced tea is brewed according to a secret recipe with black tea, rosehip and carcade blossoms and a dash of lemon juice. For many Migipedia users, the sweet drink is a daily companion and some even call it the best iced tea in the world. What an honor! We are not surprised that the cool drink was voted one of the most popular products in 2015. The summer was hotter than almost ever since records began and refreshment was always welcome. Is it enough for the "Best of Migipedia" title?Cult ice teas from Migros - a selection:https://migipedia.migros.ch/en/120299100000 https://migipedia.migros.ch/en/120299300000 https://migipedia.migros.ch/en/120227900000 https://migipedia.migros.ch/en/120299400000

It's good, that's true, but when will it finally become less sweet, the sugar content could easily be reduced by 50% and it would still be top and no "Light/Zero is not the solution.

Hello rollimaus, thank you very much for your input. We are aware that the reduction of sugar in food is an important topic that is of concern to more and more customers. Depending on the product, adapting the recipe is a little more difficult. If you are looking for an iced tea with less sugar, we recommend our organic varieties. They are less sweetened. Here is an example. Best regards, Tabea

As a very loyal Kult Ice Tea drinker, I would definitely not welcome this, even if I am generally open to the reduction of sugar in products. But Kult Ice Tea is cult because it is the way it is. If the recipe were to be adapted/improved, it would lose a large number of fans. People would either drink less of it, drink the light version or dilute it with water.

...down the sugar bit by bit 😉 so no one notices ...your last paragraph, forget it.

Or just accept it as it is :)
There used to be an iced tea with 50% sugar. I loved it and went to the bigger Migros to buy it. Unfortunately, it's already gone again. For me, the zero version is simply not a solution because I can taste the sugar substitute.

Yes, there used to even be a completely unsweetened version of the cult iced tea. No sugar or artificial sweeteners. But this was probably dropped from the range due to a lack of popularity, I personally didn't like it at all.
The article can be found here in the forum from 6 years ago, but the link leads nowhere of course. It was called "unsweetened", but I would think that the product would have more buyers nowadays, as there is a big rethink about sugar https://migipedia.migros.ch/de/forum/ungezuckerter-ungesuesster-ice-tea Didn't Migros itself have this huge report on how to manage without sugar in a self-experiment? I thought it was hilarious, but I wouldn't want to change the original either - it wouldn't suit many people, and there's no need to take away the cult IceTea from people. Too many good products are disappearing or being changed into something green anyway. Is there a difference in taste between the two? https://produkte.migros.ch/kult-ice-tea-light-zitrone-120251800000 https://produkte.migros.ch/kult-ice-tea-zero-zitrone
Yep, that's the one I meant. I just thought that if I was going to write "unsweetened", I didn't need to add the English word 😂 It was a light turquoise bottle with pink "Unsweetened" lettering. Here's a picture from Migros on Twitter https://twitter.com/migros/status/570662020338614272/photo/1 And yes, I can clearly taste the difference between products with sugar and those with artificial sweeteners. Even with the two cult IceTea variants. Zero products in particular taste sweet somehow, but then they're not. Difficult to explain. It tastes sweet while you sip the bottle. When you swallow the drink, it's suddenly no longer sweet, as if that was just an illusion. Many of these zero products also taste slightly salty to me afterwards because the artificial sweeteners are fooling the body. I hope you halfway understand what I'm trying to describe 😂

I once saw the cult ice tea with 50% less sugar in an MMM, is it no longer available? Wasn't it a big seller? Then it's clear that you can't offer this cult product with less sugar. Although I would also prefer less sugar.
Of course you understand that, I just like the sweetener taste, for example. But you can always taste the difference between sugar and sweetener. My question, however, was whether anyone can taste a difference between light and zero or why both are available😅
The light version has more lemon juice and a bit more fructose than just sweeteners like Zero, so you can taste the difference.
