Lucozade may just as well have as much sugar as Vitamin Water, but they do not market themselves as a health product. This carbonated sports/energy drink is produced by GSK, a big player in the pharmaceutical market. Lucozade was originally produced by a chemist in 1927 and the brand has grown rapidly to become one of the leading sports/energy drink brands on the planet!
I habitually purchase the apple or orange flavours of Lucozade either to aid my hangover, or to replace electrolytes that were lost during sickness. Lucozade charges a premium price for their products and you should expect to pay between R10-R14 for a 330ml bottle. A few days ago my bra Calvin got me one from the shop, but it seemed something was different? Indeed it was; Lucozade finally released the new plastic packaging that they use in London, in South Africa.
I have always been a huge fan of the product and purchase between 1-4 every week. I am now getting to the stage where I would love to organise a sponsor, or some free produce from this great brand! If anyone knows any big players at GSK please do let me know, because I was born to consume this mouth watering greatness! My friend Rene has just informed me that they get a cherry flavour over in London. Now my question to GSK and Lucozade, when on earth is the new cherry flavour going to be released in South Africa?
Definitely a winner in my books ! first choice hangover brew or just when your feeling a bit low.
send some my way if you hook up them freebies pleeeeease
What sucks is that Lucozade costs double in south Africa ( a rip off) a 500ml Orange in the UK costs 70p thats R7.00 whereas it costs R14 for a 340ml bottle here
Really? That is ridiculous!
So bleek about the bottle change that I hardly buy the stuff anymore 🙁 It was once my saviour, but now it is just another product clogging up the shelves 🙁 I mean even subliminally the glass bottle loos bigger. I know it wasn’t but first impressions last…And they have replaced that impression with depression!
I HAVE STOPPED BUYING LUCOZADE SINCE YOU HAVE STARTED USING PLASTIC BOTTLES.
I HOPE ALL YOU HEALTH CONSCIOUS PEOPLE WILL DO THE SAME!!!!!
PLASTIC CANNOT BE RECYCLED – IT’S HAZARDOUS TO OUR PLANET!!!!!!!
My buying patterns now that I look back have also declined heavily…I was a huge fan of the glass Lucozade and really think they should consider producing it again. Many people actually share our views, including 80% of my mates who all love(d) it! I would also love to see their Lucozade Sport product in SA, give Energade & Powerade a proper run for their money!
i dnt mind the packaging.. the product was the best! helped me through hangovers, flus and colds, and even when I was studying for exams!! Now i am in USA and i cant not find any thing to replace it :(! so be grateful you can still get some…
Yeah, but there is no comparison… Still the only thing that helps with my hangovers. I see they are sponsoring the Linkin Park SA Tour along with MNET, time to hustle a sponsor me thinks!
I want to know the price of lucozade can 330ml
Not sure as we don’t get cans in South Africa!
