Lucozade changed their recipe last month and cut the sugar content down by two thirds, people got very angry about it because it's always very popular among diabetics for bringing sugar levels up quickly, and because it apparently tastes awful now. Yours may have been from a batch with the new recipe.
thanks, that explains a lot oh yeah forgot to mention it was lucozade original
might as well try the orange one then
Drink it dont drink it. In fact tell customer services and get your money back.

They've reduced the sugar across the board, you'll have to hunt through for bottles specifically with the old sugar content.

This is assuming that's the issue, what does it say for the nutritional values on the bottle for sugar?
try the pink lemonade one, the other ones stink! throw dis shite away

11.3g of sugar on the 250m bit
salt 0.20g

Glucose innit, that's the whole point.
And they expect people to not notice or....? :unsure: That seems like a pretty huge change.
