Group campsite organisers
A 24 × 330ml case provides 7.92L in individual cans for several campers. Plan space for the whole case, not just the cans you expect to drink on the first day.
Who is each pack size for?
Start with the number of people sharing the drinks and how the pack will get from your transport to the campsite.
Campers comparing sugar and sweeteners
Look at the nutrition information for the actual can size and read the ingredients. The listed lemonade examples differ in sugar content, while a no-added-sugar label does not mean a drink contains no sweeteners.
Campers with limited packing space
A six-pack or smaller 150ml cans may be easier to fit into a rucksack, trolley or tent than a 24-can case. Check the total volume: more cans do not necessarily mean more lemonade.
What should you check before choosing?
Work out the quantity you can carry and expect to use, then compare serving sizes and labels within that shortlist.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack volume | Multiply can count by can size. A 24 × 330ml case holds 7.92L; six 330ml cans hold 1.98L; twelve 150ml cans hold 1.8L. | For a group, I need enough drinks to share, but I also need to carry the whole pack to the campsite. |
| Serving size | Compare 330ml and 150ml cans as servings, not just pack counts. Check whether the total number of cans matches the occasions you plan to use them. | A smaller can would suit me when I want an occasional drink or a mixer rather than a full 330ml serving. |
| Sugar and ingredients | Read sugar per can and check for sweeteners and any phenylalanine warning. Tesco lists under 0.1g sugars per 330ml diet lemonade can; ASDA lists 7.9g for R. White’s and 9.1g for Barr, also per 330ml can. | If I expect to drink lemonade more than once during the trip, I want to compare the amount in each serving and check ingredients that matter to me. |
| Storage space | Check the can’s storage instructions and keep drinks separate from food that needs chilling. The Food Standards Agency’s camping guidance says food requiring chilled storage should be kept below 5°C. | Cool-box space is limited, so I need to leave room for food that requires temperature control. |
Common packing mistakes
-
Counting cans without checking their size
Twelve 150ml cans contain 1.8L altogether, far less than a 24 × 330ml case at 7.92L. Can count alone will not tell you how much drink you are carrying.
Compare total litres and individual serving sizes before deciding how many packs your group needs.
-
Assuming every lemonade has the same recipe
Retailer listings show different sugar amounts per can, and a no-added-sugar lemonade can still contain sweeteners. Some cans carry a phenylalanine warning.
Check the current nutrition panel and ingredients on the can, especially when choosing drinks for someone who needs to avoid a particular ingredient.
-
Filling the cool box with drinks first
Cans can take space needed for food requiring chilling. The Food Standards Agency advises keeping food that needs chilled storage below 5°C.
Prioritise that food when allocating cool-box space, and follow the lemonade label’s storage instructions for unopened cans.
-
Relying on an older product listing
Ingredients and nutrition information can change, which matters if you are choosing by sugar content or checking a sweetener warning.
Recheck the current listing before ordering and inspect the can label and condition when the pack arrives.
Lemonade brands and pack formats
These retailer-listed examples illustrate different quantities and recipes; a brand name alone does not determine the right pack for a campsite.
R. White’s
ASDA lists R. White’s lemonade in a 24 × 330ml can case, providing 7.92L for a group able to transport and store it.
- The ASDA listing states 7.9g sugars per 330ml can.
- The listed product carries a phenylalanine warning; check the label on the supplied cans.
Barr
Barr appears in the research as a 24 × 330ml case at ASDA and a distinct six-can, 330ml pack on Joybuy. Check which pack you are considering.
- The ASDA 24-can listing gives a total of 7.92L and 9.1g sugars per 330ml can.
- A six-pack provides a different total quantity from the 24-can case.
Tesco
Tesco lists its Diet Lemonade as six 330ml cans, or 1.98L altogether.
- The Tesco listing describes it as no added sugar and states under 0.1g sugars per can.
- It contains sweeteners, so check the ingredients if you prefer to avoid them.
Schweppes
ASDA lists Schweppes Lemonade as twelve 150ml cans, giving smaller individual servings and 1.8L in total.
- The 150ml format can suit occasional single servings or mixing.
- ASDA lists 6.3g sugars per 150ml can; compare it with other drinks using their stated serving sizes.

A 24 × 330ml case contains 7.92L, a six-pack of 330ml cans contains 1.98L, and twelve 150ml cans contain 1.8L. Use both total volume and can size to judge whether a pack fits your group and the space available.

Can no-added-sugar lemonade contain sweeteners?
Yes. Tesco’s listing describes its Diet Lemonade as no added sugar and as containing sweeteners. Read the ingredients on the pack if a particular sweetener or warning matters to you.
Should lemonade cans take priority in the festival cool box?
Give cool-box space to food that requires chilled storage first. The Food Standards Agency’s camping guidance says such food should be kept below 5°C; follow the lemonade label’s instructions for storing unopened cans.
