Flat Lucozade/7up

baltimore sun · 2012-05-26 08:41:24

When I was a nipper my granny used to give me either flat lucozade or 7up when I was sick. Any truth in it that it makes ya better? Why did people used to drink it flat when feeling ill?

well lucozade has changed its tack on that. it has rebranded itself as a sports drink. dont think it likes being associate with people being sick. I doubt having it flat does sweet fu*k all. put it down to crazy old irish women.

Its about sugar replenishment for the body when ill with the scuts or a stomach bug. Its flat to make it easier on the tummy.

Some people prefer flat coke and the flat 7 up is also good for babys with trapped wind .

My granddad got hooked on Lucozade when a doctor recommended to him after he had a kidney infection
