What is it? Is it similar to anything here?

Not for the purpose of substitution (I know better!) just so I have some idea what you're talking about!

Hard to describe it really. It's a Glucose energy drink with a really refreshing taste.

I'm in SW PA too and have never seen it, and I am always hunting the British food sections in supermarkets. Maybe consider putting a request in at a local Giant Eagle. I got mine to order in some English cheese for me once.

I wouldn't discount the idea of buying online either, although I know a bad experience can put you off. Online sales are in the trillions every year so there are lots of good sites out there! I know there are some British food sellers on ebay too so maybe try them.

Every once in a while I get a craving. I live near Pittsburgh where British food is hard to find. Giant Eagle has some products but not my favorite tipple.

Does anyone know where to find it within a 100 mile radius?

I tried buying online but it tends to be hit and miss with retaining the fizz during shipping.

Check on line British Foods etc................Goodwoods British foods Wise Choice British foods...........................Somebody carries it

I miss it so much. Drank at least 2 bottles a day from 1982 to 2003

Think I'll go to the wine store and buy myself a bottle next week...I'll let you know what it's like.

Re: Where to find Lucozade in SW PA?

TheBritishPages.com has British food store listings across the US, worth a try.

Good luck.
