In prep for forthcoming illness after our booster, the Mrs bought a bottle of Lucozade to “aid recovery”
I remember the the old glass bottle wrapped in the crinkly orange cellophane and the taste, while not unpleasant felt certainly medicinal and probably made me think in my reasoning it was doing me a little good. It’s taste made other fizzy drinks much more preferable ie. Fanta, coke , lemonade etc. and I’m sure Lucozade was never stocked near the normal fizzy drinks
aside from the long gone glass bottle, todays Lucozade tastes nothing like the old stuff and I hear that because the glucose syrup once used has been cut right back as it’s 4 times more fattening than sugar .
there must be artificial sweeteners in it too.
It’s first intended purpose seems to have disappeared.
