If it tastes the same why not... they've been releasing the same lager with strengths from 3-5% over the years as fashions change.

I completely forgot about Ben Shaws classic cream Soda for more than 10 years and then this thread reminded me about it! I am going to have to and get some cans of the stuff now - does anybody know where they sell cans of it? Waitrose only seem to do bottles....

When I was little my Grandma had the 'Pop man' like the milkman but weekly deliveries of cola, orange sasparilla and dandilion and burdock, wash the glass bottles and he collects.
Dont think this happens anymore?

Other northern stuff: coldsfoot rock, spanish and liqourise tablets. There is an old fashioned sweetie shop between threadneedle street and aldgate - bet they stock all this.

And now I feel old

Ahh the Corona man - shockingly green lemon and lime - bright red raspberry - orange more orange than David Dickinson

And a shiney 10p when you took the empties back - those were the days.

We had a local Spa, which used ot give back the 10p, but then go and store the bottles at the back of the store, which we'd then go and take, ready for when another person come ot the till. Heady days; Cream Soda, D&B and lemonade until you were sick...

If Mushy Peas becomes guacamole, south of the Watford Gap, then I suppose Dandelion and Burdock is probably marketed as Merlot?

[d000hg]

I suspected as much.

I'll stick to whisky.

Good plan.

They also have Guinness Red in Scotland too - never seen it elsewhere, sadly

What exactly is that? Is it guiness or just another beer made by the same company?

Cream soda.

Anyone ever tried Sarsaparilla?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarsaparilla_(soft_drink)

Yeah, in a small Californian town which looked like the set of a western. It wasn't very nice.

I was going to say chippy too - D&B, cream soda, etc.

Lurve D&B - but if memory serves there were 2 types of cream soda - one clear and one a rose colour - clear was great for dobbing a chunk of vanilla ice cream in

I delivered "mineral" for corona as a Saturday job from the age of 13 up to 16. I also did a couple of months as a delivery driver for alpine soft drinks when I was 18.

I always chose d & b as my take home drink.
