I've never seen Lucozade in the US, although perhaps you could find it at a British specialty shop.

Our local supermarket sells just the Orange kind (not the fizzy one). It's like $3 for a bottle, though, so I have bought any. Plus, I prefer the fizzy tropical one. I miss Lucozade. :(

I just drank one of those and I have another in the fridge because unbeknownst to me, my hubby hates it so I get to have his too!  :)

Sidetrack:  Has anyone else noticed the HUGE difference between Orange Fanta in the US and the UK?  It's like 2 totally different drinks.

It is actually...because in the UK they use a combination of sugar and an artificial sweetner and in the US they use high fructose corn syrup...this is also the reason why your major sodas like Coke & Pepsi taste different Sugar in the UK vs. HFCS in the US.

I prefer the European Fantas. Especially pineapple! Ours are WAY too sweet here. Tastes like syrup.

BUAS- >:( Torture!! Last summer, Boots had Lucozade 2 for 1 all summer! I was getting that stuff most every day!! I miss Boots, too. :(

Yep, I'd see it in my Brighton (MA) S&S from time to time, but never with any consistency.  I never saw it at the Shaw's or Star Market in Cambridge (MA) though.  I was always on the hunt for drinking chocolate which was more widely available.   :D

I've never tried Lucozade - but isn't it similar to Gatorade?

Ooh it's so much better! I was just telling my bf about how I miss it the other night. The fizzy kind just doesn't exist here.

I don't really like it after running.  Fizzy drinks after five miles makes me feel vaguely pukey.

Agreed - I only liked the non-carbonated versions while running.

I got a little bit obsessed with drinking Fanta when I was in South America recently (the Fanta there is the same as the US one)... I bought a bottle in Boots yesterday, but it didn't taste anything like I'd gotten used to in South America (I don't drink it very often in the UK) :(.

Oh it's fizzy!! I had no idea! I think the "ade" at the end was throwing me off :-)
