At lunchtime in a busy Nando's, a familiar tradition has quietly disappeared. The bottomless Coca-Cola machine — once a symbol of casual indulgence — now comes with a limit: just one refill for the full-sugar version. The change is small, but it captures a national shift. Britain's relationship with sugar is being rewritten, one restriction at a time.
The restaurant chain confirmed the move follows government rules restricting free refills of high-sugar soft drinks, part of a widening effort to curb obesity and related diseases. Diet alternatives such as Coke Zero and Sprite Zero remain unlimited, but the message is clear: sugar is no longer meant to be effortless.
