Could try Fruit punches (frozen concentrate), or Cool Aid, Crystal lite etc (powder), where you control how much sugar goes in....

Its not like i travel in exotic circles, so it was probably shoppers drug mart or my local drug store...I certainly didnt pay $30 for it. Is it not primarily eucalyptus oil...should be able to find that in a speciality store I would think.
Dont get it in your eyes!

Bulk Barn (at least my local one) has a surprising array of British stuff...Frys chocolate creams, Sherbert fountains, British chocolate bars, various dodgy cooking sauces and instant graveys etc...

I discovered that Shoppers Drug Mart here in Victoria carries Boots range of products, like the Botanics stuff and No7 perform and protect. More than in the UK and no 3 for 2 offers like in Boots, but they sell it!

Raisin bread tastes just like toasted tea cakes - although they look nothing like them!

Tang seems an acceptable alternative to squash. Comes in a box and needs mixing.
Incidentally...in the UK I wouldn't touch any brand of Cola that wasn't Coke or Pepsi. All the alternatives were foul.
But Presidents Choice Cola from Loblaws/Superstore seems okay judging by the mouthful I tried the other day.
Diet versions.
