In thing: Bioplus
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Six years after the death of Yuppiedom, Bioplus, a pep drink aimed at 'career-orientated achievers' has hit chemists' shelves with a slick New Age ad campaign in which great pains have been taken to be 'relevant' to the Nineties. It comes as either syrup or tablet. The syrup is cherry brandyish and awful, but the tablets, which you drop in water, make a refreshing tangerine-flavoured fizzy drink. This drink is supposed to be an energising pick-me-up cocktail of caffeine and vitamins. Whether it will catch on with stressed City stiffs remains to be seen. Ravers, on the other hand definitely like it.
Bioplus costs pounds 3.49 for a 200ml bottle and pounds 2.39 for 10 tablets. Available at branches of Lloyds chemists and other independent chemists.
