Favourite carbonated drink

[bonniebird]

pepsi max for me....

[Otta]

Does anyone remember a 90s drink called something like Shizang? I used to love that.

And who could forget Coke Tab?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Vimto and a bag of plain Walkers. A childhood memory of the '60s.

[Otta]

Actually, having looked at this

I may be thinking of Citra (can rings a bell), in which case I need to try a Fanta citrus and see if it's the same thing...

I remember Coke Tab Otta, amazing. Is it not available still? I had a thing for a bag of smiths crisps and a can of tab back in the day.

Another vote for Cresta.

Not only did it taste great, it was cloudy so looked different to everything else.

Was that the same thing as Tab Clear?

[Jeremy]

Quatro was my favourite... think it disappeared in the late 80s.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I can't help but think Alan Partridge would advertise that Jeremy.

I'd like to think so!

Yeah that's the one.

When I was a kid we used have a Corona van come down our street. We'd buy bottles of lemonade and cream soda from it and when he returned the following week you got money back on your empties if I remember rightly.

Anyone else remember the Corona vans?

[red devil]

That reminds me of...

Club Orange with a straw.

[Jeremy]

Someone needs to close RD's italics tag.

has that worked?

[steveo]

I was a Corona man... boy

[uncleglen]

Fentiman's Traditional Ginger Beer- it's the only carbonated drink I have ever actually enjoyed

Ah yes, we used to do Corona but my family went renegade and we switched to the Alpine lorry which delivered weekly - big bottles of exotic pop like Pineappleade, Raspberryade and Cream Soda.

We still preferred a sneaky swig from the Davenports delivery my father got.

We had Bill & Co lorry that used to come down our street. There used to be a red drink called Bing that I liked as a young kid. Imagine it was some sort of mixed fruit effort.

Good call Jeremy. I was about to post the same.

Quatro reminds me of swimming classes at South Norwood pool. Always followed by a can of sugary goodness.

We had the Alpine lorry. Given the range of lurid colours the drinks were I'm not sure how many would pass current rules on additives.

I do, and they used to dleiver to our shop in Meeting House lane in the middle and late 70's.

My favourite fizzt drink is an imported one called Gazoz, which you can get from any good Turkish deli.

[fishbiscuits]

Panda pops for 12p a bottle. Never did me any harm.

[maxxi]

Least favourite? Cresta - revolting - no real kick to the fizz/froth. Like drinking cloth.

[Seabag]

Badoit for a hangover

Tizer as a child

A can of Lilt once in a while
