'''Marin Khola Valley''' is one of the [[Inner Terai Valleys of Nepal]].


*Region: Central South Nepal
'''Lucozade''' is an [[umbrella name]] for a series of Energy and Sports drinks. The original Lucozade, now called Lucozade Energy, is an [[energy drink]] containing [[glucose]] syrup and is produced by [[GlaxoSmithKline|GlaxoSmithKline plc]] in [[Gloucestershire]]. It was first manufactured in 1927 by a [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]] chemist, who experimented for several years to provide a source of energy for those who are sick. It became available throughout the [[UK]] for use in hospitals under the name Glucozade. This was changed to the recognisable Lucozade in 1929.

The company then became part of the [[Beecham (pharmaceutical company)|Beecham]] and after mergers, by SmithKline Beecham, then in 2000, [[GlaxoSmithKline]]. In 1953, a factory was opened in [[Brentford]], which (until 2004) had an iconic [http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40016000/jpg/_40016826_lucozade203.jpg sign] seen next to the side of the [[M4 motorway|M4]] (now in [[Gunnersbury Park]] Museum). People in Brentford were apparently deeply upset when the sign was removed. Lucozade (with [[Ribena]]) is now made at the Royal Forest Factory at [[Coleford, Gloucestershire|Coleford]] in the [[Forest of Dean]].

The product was sold in a glass bottle with a [[Cellophane]] wrap until 1983, when the advertising agency [[Ogilvy & Mather]] set about rebranding Lucozade as an energy drink. The slogan "Lucozade aids recovery" was replaced by "Lucozade replaces lost energy", and the ad campaign featured the world and olympic champion [[decathlete]] [[Daley Thompson]] with a soundtrack of the [[Iron Maiden]] song ''[[Phantom of the Opera (song)|Phantom of the Opera]].'' The original packaging was changed to [[polyethylene terephthalate]] (PET) bottling. The effect of the rebranding was dramatic: between 1984 and 1989, the value of UK sales of the drink tripled to almost £75 million.

One litre of Lucozade Energy contains 700 [[KCal|kCal]] and contains 0.01% of [[ethanol]], which stopped [[Muslim]]s from being allowed to drink it until, [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3527724.stm in 2004], the [[Muslim Council of Britain|Muslim Law Council]] decreed no one would be committing a religious crime if they drank it.
