Could you bring these bottles back to the shop and get 10p or 20p back?
To be found on every hospital bedside locker in the 70s and 80s.
Where are the grapes…..
Where did the healing myth come from anyway? Was the same with flat 7Up, that’s another I remember; was there even the tiniest thread of truth?
Lucozade has never tasted as good since.
the holy grail of Soft drinks in Ireland
Glass Lucozade
I wish they’d make proper lucozade. It was never a cheap soft drink anyway, and it was never really meant as an alternative to, say, Fanta.
So stop using artificial sweeteners etc, just give us the full whack glucose infused lucozade. I want it when I’m sick but this new shite, forget it.
So fancy with the wrapper, schwit schwoo!
Christ, I’m old but I’m not THAT old!
No, I don’t remember those.
Yes, a cure all for whatever was ailing you.. Ah the 80’s..
I was only thinking about these recently. How far the Lucozade brand has moved from those days! The royal warrant prominent on the label too!
I’m not sure what the weird plastic wrapping around the bottle was supposed to do
Apparently Enerzade by Todd’s drinks is an alternative to the old formula lucozade. I’ve never tried it but heard its good. https://toddsdrinks.co.uk/
Yes l sure do. We would even pretend to be sick to get some 🤣🤣🤣
Wow – that’s a blast from the past. I remember spending a lot of time in crumlins childrens hospital as a kid. Visitors used to bring in bottles of that. I remember the plastic wrapping crinkling. Haven’t thought about that in years!
Actual medicine
When Lucozade was something you only got when you were sick.
Yes.
The good stuff
People use to use the orange wrapping to temporarily cover their head lights during fog
Lucozade with a wrapper in the high press = poitín
Holy shit!! My grandparents had the post office and a small shop in our …not even village and yes I absolutely do remember these but only after seeing the picture.
My dad wanted to put spotlights on my first car, a fiat punto and said he would put the lucozade plastic over them so they didn’t blind people.
OMG yes, I can still hear the crinkle of the plastic wrapper.
It was literally invented, named and marketed as a glucose aide hence why it was almost on prescription 🙄, now of course it’s a ‘sports drink 💪’

The cure for absolutely everything…
Ahh, the 80s cure for every possible ailment.
But why the wrapping?
