A premium cola made with natural extracts and sold in supposedly classy packaging. Convinced? Or are garish colours and artificial flavours all part of the fun of fizzy drinks?

Buy It Now: Dolfin Chocolate
This Easter, let the kids have the sticky synthetic sweets and treat yourself to some real grown up chocolate from Dolfin. Using fine chocolate and innovative blends of herbs and spices, Dolfin has been working the whole 'sounds weird but works, chili pepper and chocolate' thing for twenty years from its base in Belgium, creating chocolate that tends towards a less sweet, more real, taste and texture. Their core range of 17 flavours includes blends with aniseed, pink peppercorns, hot masala, earl grey tea, ginger and lavender. Also available for the summer is 'Summer Memories', a limited edition collection that includes Apple Crumble, Apricot and Rosemary and the perfectly named Fancy Lemon Feeling.
