It's not a major issue at all, and to bring things quickly back to normal, a quick glass of sparkling Enos sorts me out. I use it maybe 2/3 times a week, and also find it a very refreshing drink in its own right.However, it use to be sold in 218g jars - GlaxoSmithKline have now discontinued the jars and now in the UK have decided that it will only sell it in sachet form.My main objection to this is price! A 218g jar use to cost £3.99, 50g (10 x 5g) of sachets cost £2.25The maths are that per gram this is nearly 150% more expensive!! Commonly known as a 'rip off'.I've considered, after a lifetime of use, to defect to Andrews, but the taste is vile  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> , and for some reason it is loaded with sucrose, not a great addition to a diabetic diet.Does anyone else regret GlaxoSmithKlein's decision, or am I on a very lonely soap box  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d108/StephenPhotoBucket/Eno-Fruit-Salt-Large_S.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
