hungover
Where would we be without Lucozade and Ribena?
The drinks were sold by GSK for £1.35 billion today.
LUCOZADE HAS FIXED ailments and hangovers since the dawn of time – well, since 1927 to be more exact.
And Ribena has been on hand to quash the thirst of many a young footballer and tennis player in that time too.
Iconic brands, both, there was some concerning news this morning that they had been sold by current owners GlaxoSmithKline to Japanese firm Suntory.
Luckily, GSK believes the drinks are “in good hands” so they won’t be going anywhere. Imagine if they did?
What would we give the children?

Seriously though, water is really good for you.

Again, water is really good for that.
Surely, there is something else other than Lucozade to help the children when they’re unwell?
Or when we need a bit to create a pep in our step?
So, we should be really happy that Lucozade and Ribena aren’t going anywhere?
We haven’t felt this concern/relief in such quick succession since the whole Superquinn sausages scare.
