Lucozade
 
....sweet drink of the gods! How I miss thee.

Anybody know anywhere in Calgary that sells this magic liquid?

Ah yes, the ultimate hangover cure! Our local British shop sells it (in all flavours), but we're the opposite side of the country to you in Ontario, sorry. But if you have a similar shop near you they'll probably get it for you.

there are a few British shops in Calgary, so i'd be surprised if none of them sold it!

try the one in Market Mall first

I was wanting lucozade at the back end of last year when I was under the weather. The people who own the British Shop in Eau Claire market said they had imported it in the past but had it removed from their shipment a few years back due to a suspect ingredient so do not stock it. I think it is one of those weird things where it depends who reviews your import list. They said you don't always know will and won't get through so they play it pretty safe.

I have not found it anywhere else but after they told me that I figured no one else would have it. Someone replying earlier said they have seen it in Ontario so maybe try the Market Mall shop as they tend to have a reasonably good stock of items... for a price.

The Lucozade in our fridge was $7 and change per bottle.

There's a few Brit shops around that should sell it.

If you were in Ontario I would suggest going to Food Basics as they sell it - as do Metro.

If you get really desperate you can buy it online :)

The British pantry in the NW stocks it as well as TNT.
Check out the east indian stores in the NE. They sell it too albeit much cheaper...

I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know where to find it. The stuff is delicious.

Couldn't you just get an old Sodastream machine off ebay, collect some diabetic's piss and make your own?..

Oh, I will have to check our local Metro - i have never really looked in there! Fingers crossed - as it is a bit nearer than our british food shop - and I wont be tempted by all those walkers crisps and Cadbury chocolate!;)
