I've never put it in a bottle or a bladder but I will neck a bottle at a garage or a supermarket (1L cartons in the USA finished before I'd even got to the checkout ftw!)
Haha that's awesome re: indypac I'd fuck people up if they were taking my Iced Coffees - that's the main reason I go back to Oz! (sorry fam, it's about the iced coffee...)
Lucozade and Lucozade Sport featured heavily in UK because they tended to be cheapest big bottles that weren't Coke, Sprite, etc. Lucozade Orange is the best but being fizzy it'd often fizz over the bike, so I moved towards the Sport versions. It's still shitty plastic but I will try to use the bigger bottles to somewhat reduce plastic amount. It's not like I can't drink it after all. In Europe there's more places to get drinking water (hey UK they're called taps ffs, install some!) so that's less of an issue.
Going into an ALDI or similar if they're available mean you can get even bigger bottles but they tend not to be cold which may or may not be an issue.
Oh I did try fish oil caps a while back. Something to do with heart health but it's like "so, I spend £1000 on these over a few years, what actual impact will it have?" and I stopped

I love chocolate milk when riding. Sometimes do a litre of that in place of a bottle of water.
On IndyPac I got to one of the roadhouses one evening and found that there was no chocolate milk left. I realised I was too far down the field and the people in front had taken it all. So I said I'm not letting that happen again, rode an all-nighter, made up 10 places and always found chocolate milk every time I stopped after that.
Other drink I use a bit, but only at the end of rides if stomach a bit iffy is Lucozade. A litre of that in my bottle leaving the final control is an effective way to close out an audax - don't need to eat again if I have that.
