We were recently sent some drinks hitting shelves of the supermarkets anytime now! They were LOL drinks, they contain a portion of fruit per can, but the thing that makes them stand out is the fact that they are carbonated. My children have not been keen on the whole fizz thing but they agreed to be guinea pigs and try each of the three flavours;
Apple and orange, apple and blackcurrant, apple and raspberry.
We enjoyed all the varieties but our favourite was the apple and raspberry, all of them had a nice fruity flavour with just the right amount of fizz, the kids felt comfortable with. They liked the distinctive bright coloured smiley faces on the cans and thought that they would like to see them in the shops and older children will be familiar with the LOL meaning from text speak, I have been asked to buy some for the older children as they stated that it would be something different to squash and water. I have to admit I don’t mind too much as a whole portion of fruit in a drink I can get into the kids is always good, especially one that can make them feel a bit more grown up because it is fizzy.
LOL Drinks are available at Waitrose and will be rolled out further this summer.
