Lucozade is basically all sugar. And you can get it still or fizzy and it is mainly advertised to sports players because it has loads of crap in it that "allegedly" gives you lots of energy. My experience of it was feeling consistently awake but sluggish and worn down at the same time. It was such a weird time hahaaha. It was always advertised as the thing to have if you were ill. However, if you have it when you are breast feeding your baby - the baby gets the runs. It was almost worth being ill in the 60s just for a bottle of Lucozade,  not to mention a couple of days off school. And the joy didn't end with the taste... I can remember peeling the yellow celophane off the bottle and using it over a little light I'd attached to some funny shaped batteries  to make a spooky effect in my Disneyland puppet theatre.  |

This is probably going to unpopular with @ryan but being someone who doesn't drink, I've never seen the appeal of getting drunk, I'd rather be control of my senses and feel somewhat normal than be lairy and have a massive hangover. Lucozade is basically all sugar I think they re-formulated the original drink this year, to get around the sugar tax. Agree with @baemax , it is the only recovery food I can tolerate when I am ill, too. Advertising Standards made them remove the health claims years back, but for decades before that my family swore by it, and frankly I still do. I like Lucozade Sport but I have bought Monster Hydro a few times and it's quite good as well. I couldn't drink normal Monster because those cans are huge! |

Make-up (non-theatrical) is insulting both to the wearer and observer. Wearing it says both that you don't feel acceptable as you really are and that others will not accept you that way either.

How do you feel about clothing*? We're naked "as we really are." * not custom-made for extreme temperatures or other environmental protections; you know what I meant |

I don't mind the endless amount of trailers in the cinema before a film starts, as it opens my eyes to loads of new films that I may want to see.
... the endless car adverts beforehand can die though.

Agreed! I'm fine with trailers — if there are regular commercials I'd want them to be as special as a Super Bowl ad, not something I could see elsewhere.

I don't mind trailers, although as someone who loves animation it does bother me that cinemas seem to assume that anything animated is a good place to promote Peppa Pig. There is something fundamentally defective about a universe in which Peppa Pig exists.
I also like the advertisements, if they're interesting. I used to love the Freederm advertisements created by Bray Leino, starting with "Boy Meets Girl" and going on through the "Goostav the Goose" ones, because they were such a refreshing change from the usual skin care advertisements in which two teenagers sit there and discuss skin products in the way that no real humans have ever discussed anything. I actually felt slightly cheated if I didn't get a Freederm advertisement when I went to the cinema.

Each to their own. I don't like being judged for the fact that I choose to, and like to, wear makeup. It is my choice, not the assumptions you seem to be making about me as a result of the simple fact that I choose to do it, which to my mind is both unfair and rather judgmental. Anyway, back on topic: Football is the most pointless sport on the planet. |

I adore football. Seems to be an unpopular opinion on here.

Make-up is like embroidery - a legitimate form of self-expression and even an artform (when done well), but delegitimised in the minds of the masses because of how perceived as feminine it is.

Well, personally, I don't even pop down the garage on a Sunday morning for a pint of milk and an out of date creme egg without my make up on. Makes me feel fab-u-lous dahlings. 💄💋
Who else? Own up time!

Football is the most pointless sport on the planet. I wouldn’t go that far. It’s extremely boring but I can think of more pointless sports. A quick bit of searching turns up some research that reveals that in 45% of football games at least one side fails to score. Also, the most common score is 1-0. Given that it's possible for one side to achieve victory with only a single point scored in the entire match I think it's entirely fair to say that football is as close as you can get to being a completely pointless sport. |

I can’t stand Japanese Anime. Why purposely make it look rubbish? They do know that animation has moved on since the 1940s, right? I know it’s a style, but it’s ugly to look at.

See... drunk right now (and rarely not due to @ryan's influence!). I'll pop a paracetamol or two before bed, be right as rain by the morning! 😁
