San Pellegrino Blood Orange

[El Presidente]

Cost me 80p for Lime and tap water in a witherspoons pub the other day.

That's because you live in the AFFLUENT south Loonster

 

[Weststander]

Jeez - the amount of sugar on the list...

and teeth rot.

 

[Weststander]

I voted Cream Soda but had it been on the list Old Jamaica Ginger Beer....ice cold...would have been my choice

With Cherryade, these takes me back to childhood memories in the 70's/early 80's, of the R.White's collection.

Before I discovered evil liquor!!

Fanta Lemon.

I always associate it with going on holiday as a kid. I'm sure they didn't used to sell it in the UK back then (late 80s/early 90s)

True, at Med/Canaries pool sides and beach bars, in any era.

Being older at that particular time, I'm moved on to San Miguel and G&T.

Sprite! I would have swapped this for R Whites Lemonade.

Cream Soda is good but better with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

Do proper thick milk shakes or smoothies count?

Does anyone remember the slot machines which dispensed cartons of refrigerated milk located at various points in the street. I think they disappeared after the Milk Marketing Board was abolished. They would have been great to still have around in the last few days.

I was around at the time and seen pictures of them on another thread but I never saw one.
Cigarette vending machines outside shops and Bazooka Joe, XL and Beech Nut gum (free pack every third turn) even parrafin but never milk.

I only remember pure milk. I still think about the time in 1960 when I was hitch hiking from Manchester to Shoreham. In the early hours I was at what at that time was Purley Crossroads waiting for my next lift and buying a carton from one of those machines. It was delicious.

Very early memories of them whilst on Cornish holidays in about 1970, around caravan sites. Came in tetrapaks.

Also, but we'd be ill advised to drink this, Parafin vending machines outside small grocery stores. These days they'd be a target for vandals and would be prevented by a raft of laws.

I've got a vague memory of strawberry-flavoured milk from a carton - but probably a little later in the late 60s.

Not on the list: Ginger Beer

Have bought it a couple of times lately. Drunk ice cold on these hot days, it's lovely.

Yes!

Remember them well. Used to be a machine outside the shop/post office in Portslade old village. Strawberry milk.

Not a fan of soft drinks nowadays. softest being Staropramen, but as a kid, Sunday dinner was accompanied by Cream Soda and Ice cream mixed for me and my sister. Years later, my step grandkids did the same with Coke... found that a bit shit.
