Lucozade Energy Caribbean Crush - 500ml

In Britain, Lucozade is part of the furniture. It is in the newsagent fridge, the petrol station, the supermarket meal deal and the bag of anyone who has ever done a long shift. The Energy range is the fizzy one, and Caribbean Crush is one of its fruit flavours.

People in Canada go looking for it because nothing else tastes quite like the thing you drank at nineteen. You cannot describe it properly, you just know it when you open it, and you want the actual bottle with the actual name on it.

It comes as a single 500ml bottle with a screw cap, so it goes in a bag, a lunchbox or a car door without fuss. Keep it in the cupboard until you want it, then give it a proper spell in the fridge. It is at its best very cold and straight from the bottle.

Most people do not stop at one thing. A bottle of this, a packet of British crisps and a chocolate bar, and you have rebuilt the meal deal from memory on your own kitchen table.
