katyjay 5,091 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I can't watch the video because we're still on this stupid dial-up and it would take forever to download, but I will say that when I was a kid, I had to be just about at death's door to get a bottle of lucozade bought me! It was deemed too expensive and a luxury item to be bought willy-nilly. Now it's up there with the sport drinks, and affordable. The times, they are a changin' Kath Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can only remember mum buying it a couple of times - once when I had the mumps! I bet I haven't even tasted it since I was about 8 years old! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 My last taste of it (as far as I can remember) was when I had my appendix out, circca 1974 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 If I remember right, it tastes Bloody Dreadful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Sat here supping my freebie now , and you're right Mick, it tastes bloody awful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 With all the "alcopops" around in the UK, I'm surprised that somebody hasn't figured out something potent to throw into Lucozade. How about Gin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 If you ever saw "Only Fools and Horses " (Sit com) Del Boys drink 'du jour' in one episode is "Tia Maria and Lucozade" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sure my Mam thought Lucozade was medicine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,417 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 As a kid I remember Lucozade came in a big bottle wrapped in yellow cellophane and was expensive. I think it was seen more as a tonic than a drink of pop and only ever given to those who, as Katy says, were at deaths door. The taste is unique but I quite like it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I used to like 'lucozade' but have tried it recently and don't think it tastes like it used to, either my taste buds are waining or they have taken something out!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,597 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 and the top of the bottle used to get gummed up with glucose, the stuff today is all fizz Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I tried Dandelion & Burdock a few weeks ago. That doesn't taste like it did 50 years ago either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Nothing tastes the same as it did years ago. As a child in Lancashire I loved "Sass" sassparilla (sarsaparilla) you couldn't buy it here but now they don't even make it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,417 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think nanny says you have to have less sugar... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
