    could you always try mixing fizzy water and lemon juice together?

    i have made lemonade a few times at home. Not sure how it will work in your snowball though.

    Snowball- yum. I thought I was the only person still to be making them.

    I hope you get yoru lemonade sorted out !

    I saw a snowball gift set earlier and it started a craving, not had one for many many years (as a kid I was always allowed one at Christmas lol). I thought I'd get myself a bottle of Advocat and make a snowball for my daughter and I. Hopefully tomorrow then :D

    Watch the advocaat prices. I was buying the Tesco own brand at around £5.50 a bottle, then about 6 weeks ago I went to buy a new bottle and it was as dear as warninks at over £12 a bottle. I even asked at customer services and was told the £12+ was the correct price and I was mistaken if I thought i had been paying half that price previously.

    However 2 weeks ago the Tesco own brand dropped back down to around £5.50 again- hurrah!

  • I like the Lidl diet lemonade - 2 litres for 18p, don't know about the sugar/aspartame though (I'm afraid I don't study labels any more).
  • I've got a bottle of the diet Tescos cloudly lemonade sat next to me and it doesn't have any aspartame in, just sucralose.

  • Another vote for the Sainsburys one, we don't like aspartamine and I usually stock up when I shop there!

    Actually a good move. Aspartame reactions have been shown in most properly conducted studies to be down to the nocebo effect. Your trick should prevent ill effects in most, but unfortunately not all, sufferers.

    It's the opposite of brand name painkillers being more effective than generic ones.
