No source in the lead for things like "It is often referred by Hershey as 'The Great American Chocolate Bar'", or elsewhere for " As a result, the Hershey flavor is widely recognized in the United States, but less so internationally ..." Similarly for Lucozade, which was a sick person's drinkable Hershey Bar, it's common knowledge in the UK that, during its yellow-cellophane phase, it was given to children at home when sick and taken to hospitals by visitors. I added a source that discussed some of that. It really doesn't matter that it's a novel; in fact that makes it more interesting. 1373: 1366: 425: 716: 249: 222: 775: 191: 349: 829: 259: 1245:
I'm sure Lucozade Sport is much older than that though, perhaps not like it is now. I remember in coming out in the nineties, I believe, andgot it a lot from vending machines a my leisure centre.

Why does does article only talk about lucozade in Great Britain and Ireland? i ihave previously put references to its sale in Africa only for them to be removed. This, my friends is called racism, Someone didn't think the Africans weren't important enough to warrant their inclusion in this article.

It it the sort of factual detail that I would expect to be highlighted on a wiki page, and not just burred in the Composition section. I bought "original" flavour last week and it tasted wrong. I read the ingredients and they have started adding Aspartame. Surely this also counts as false

In "sporade" the lexeme "spor" stands for "sport" in "gatorade" the lexeme "gator" stands for "aligator", nothing needs to be explained about powerade but in "lucozade" what does "lucoz" mean? It has anything to do with "lycos" (wolf)? or with "glucose" (sweetener)? or what does it

The part about Lucozade being targeted by the Liverpool City Council in an anti-sugary drinks campaign is funny because it ends with "Posters will be displayed in doctors' surgeries and hospitals." like it was copied and pasted from a press release.

I don't agree that a work of fiction is an RS to provide the public with "accepted knowledge" - you can take that to RSN if you like. (you could say the book is an example of popular culture but you would need a source for

Other sources quote Newcastle chemist MW Hunter as the inventor, not William Owen. Research continues, but my current best guess is that Hunter invented it and Owen only manufactured it in his Newcastle premises.

The fictional source is a good one to support edits about the culture of Lucozade in the UK. Please restore it. Also, please don't keep copying text word for word from the lead to other parts of the article.

The bottle I am currently drinking (500ml Lucozade Original) states that a 250ml serving contains 21.8g of sugar, therefor a 500ml bottle would contain 43.6g of sugar, not 85g as on the wiki page.

Lucozade was first formulated in the 1920s by MW Hunter, a now-forgotten pharmacist living in Newcastle who at the time worked for the Barras Bridge pharmacy of WW Owen & Son Ltd.

apparently, no-one else (except us) gives a shit about Africa, maybe because they are fucking racists. We are all a shade of grey, not clearcut into black or white.
