It seems to me that even though multiple flavors of Diabolo sodas are still sold online and in stores, but the URL on the can seems like it may no longer be in use, so I'm not sure what the story is there. Diabolo is a term for a type of non-alcoholic mixed drink made with flavored syrup and soda water in France, but in this case is used here as a brand name.
It boasts no caffeine and has just 60 calories for a 16oz can, with 14g of sugar and 4g of something called erythritol. I was unfamiliar with erythritol but found that is a sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute. It is made from corn using fermentation and enzymes to create a chemical similar to sugar with fewer calories. However, the FDA, advises caution regarding the intake of erythritol over concerns that it may cause nausea and digestive issues in some people and increased risk of cardiovascular issues or strokes.
The drink carries a strong minty scent. The carbonation isn't strong here and I feel like the mint taste is far too strong for the beverage. This is more like a cold mint tea because it really masks almost any sense of lemon. All in all, this drink isn't my particular cup of tea but clearly someone out there feels differently.
