Newcastle man Russ, a chemical engineer by trade, has won the hearts of hungry Australians everywhere with his hilarious and often rude food reviews
An Australian foodie has claimed that McDonald’s has done ‘the dirty’ with their customers by replacing regular Sprite with Sprite Zero.
Newcastle man Russ is a chemical engineer by trade but has won the hearts of Australians with his hilarious and often scathing food reviews.
In his latest video the Australian prankster who posts under Russ Eat test the wild theory that McDonald’s restaurants no longer serve “regular” Sprite.
“It doesn’t make sense to me, so let’s see if it’s true,” he said before heading to his local drive-thru.
He approached the woman through the order box and asked for a “medium Sprite, a nice sugary Sprite.”
She took the order without hesitation and told him the price, but the order on the screen showed she’d passed a Sprite Zero.
“WTF don’t even tell me it’s Sprite Zero,” he wrote in the caption while remaining polite in real life.

“Do you have a normal Sprite?” he asked her, before urging her to confirm the rumors were true.
She said they no longer serve Sprite and “as far as she knows” it wouldn’t come back.
Shocked, Russ ordered a burger and walked to the last window where he picked up his meal and sugar-free drink.
And he was less than impressed when the burger he ordered was wrong and the people at the window forgot his straw.
‘No sugar, no straw, no bacon, what an experience that was. We’ve confirmed the rumor is true.’
Then he took a long gulp of the drink.
“Yeah, we’ve confirmed it tastes like piss,” he said.
Russ’ followers were equally outraged, with some revealing that they got behind the no-sugar switch “the same way.”
He quickly confirmed the rumors after asking for a Sprite and was charged for a sugar-free option
“Ordered Sprite and they just automatically put it on the order as Sprite Zero. In any case, warn me not to get this sugar junkie,” one man complained.
“Cost me five times. I ask for sprite without ice, I kept thinking they just thought I said no sugar,” said another.
Others slammed the popular chain.
“Piss weak from Maccas,” said a man.
“Forcing people to eat Sprite zero in a fast food restaurant is pointless,” sneered for a second.
And a worker came in to hand out the gossip.
“No idea why they changed it, but it happened about two months ago,” they revealed.
The video was posted on Tuesday and has 18500 views on Instagram.
Daily Mail Australia contacted McDonald’s Australia for comment.
