No idea, as I've got older I've developed an aversion to overly sweet, synthetic tasting foods, so I've never looked for it. I was just stunned that someone who remembers the hell of 1970s desserts could think anything other than butterscotch was the worst flavour of angel delight
I was misremembering - I said caramel, meant butterscotch. Absolutely correct. And for some reason it's one of the few flavours still available.
The current recipe isn't as full of odd chemicals as the 1970s recipe - it's basically cornflour, emulsifier and flavouring (he says, without a packet to check) and half a pint of whatever milk you prefer. I'd probably put Angel Delight (but not the butterscotch variety) in the "not as unhealthy as it looks" category.
Lucozade should only be served to sick children, poured from a glass bottle wrapped in yellow cellophane. Change my view
When I was 11 or 12 I had appendicitis, rushed into hospital, thing basically burst as they were taking it out (so I was told), still have a four-inch scar (I think they do it keyhole these days).
In the cabinet beside my bed was a barely-opened bottle of Lucozade (yes, glass and celophane) and as I hadn't eaten for about 48 hours I thought that rather than waiting to see what the previous occupant of the bed had ordered for lunch (at that hospital in those days the catering staff would come around after tea and ask you to tick some boxes for the food you wanted the next day - tough luck on the next guy if you ordered cauliflower cheese and were then discharged), I'd take a half a glass. After all, Lucozade was a "treat" - in the sense that we only had it at home if someone needed perking up, and I definitely needed perking up given that although I was told to be off school for a fortnight, my dad had promised to pop up to school and fetch me some work to do!
Worst mistake I had ever made up until that point. Fizzy pop on an empty stomach and an empty intestine with stitches. I was doubled-up in agony for about half an hour.
