[QUOTE="iHs, post: 618759, member: 8799"] If GSK were to produce 100ml bottles of Lucozade Energy, the cost to consumer would be expensive so only a very small minority would justify the expense. For one thing an enginnering tool would need to be manufactured (not cheap) if one is not already made and from there a mould has to be made for the plastic to make the bottle (not cheap). From there .....the factories using the moulds would need to transform all the machinery and conveyor systems to accept the new size bottle... Just how much would people be prepared to pay to justify the cost? Lucozade is already expensive as it is. I no longer use it and found that full sugar ginger beer had a tiny bit more glucose in it than Lucozade and was half the price. Most of the time when out and about I now use jellybabies which I keep in a small plastic fishing float container with a hinge lid. I dont like jellybabies that much that I would want to over indulge so just eat 2 or 3 to deal with the 'low; bg feeling. Since having a pump, Ive needed to practice mind over matter lol [/QUOTE]
