Notes (2026):

1. The promotional logo here has almost no relation to the actual logo of Euro 2016, weirdly.
2. Since the introduction of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (or Sugar Tax) in 2018, most soft drinks in the UK have changed their formulas so they contain less than the relevant thresholds to avoid the levy. Regular Coca-Cola, however, is one of the few products to still maintain sugar levels over 8g per 100ml (which incurs the highest levy), and so the formula for this product is still broadly the same in 2026 as it was in 2016 (The 2026 Ingredients List – as listed here – appears to differ only slightly by wording – Carbonated Water, Sugar, Colour (Caramel E150d), Acid (Phosphoric Acid), Natural Flavourings, Caffeine Flavouring – and the nutritional values are identical).
