Is Lucozade sweet?

[squashyhat]

I have bronchitis and am craving cold fizzy drinks. But I hate sugar or sweeteners so can't drink coke etc. My Mum always used to give us Lucozade when we were young to perk us up but that was 50 years ago! I'm sure it's changed since then. Will I be utterly disappointed if I send my DH for some?

It's had some glucose replaced with sweeteners, but yes, it is still hellishly sweet.

Yes its sweet also theyve changed the recipe with the sugar tax, its awful now.

You could get fizzy water and squash, and dose to your taste?

Yes. I did what I should have done initially and Googled it. Equivalent of 15 cubes of sugar in one 500ml bottle . No wonder we were our dentist's best customers. Fruit juice and sparkling water it is then.

My mum gave us Lucozade as a special treat when we were ill ( it was expensive) . It always made me feel better but since the sugar tax they have messed with the recipe and it tastes disgusting.

I find the Lucozade Zero isn’t too sweet (I can’t drink non diet fizzy drinks as they taste like pure syrup to me!!) or, as a op suggested, sparking water and NAS cordial/squash
