Forgotten brands

This article got me thinking about brands of yesteryear.

I can vaguely remember Peardrax (I think) but have fond memories of Corona soft drinks (raspberry flavour anyone). Other favourites were Tab and Quatro.

Ah, those were the days when sweets and drinks were made of more additives and 'E' numbers than you could shake a stick at.

Ah yes, Tab clear cola - that was wierd.

I remember Spangles sweets, and those triangular orange drinks you could freeze - lovely.

I genuinely miss proper Dandelion & Burdock and Sasparilla. Apparently there are root bears of similar taste out there but they're bleedin well hidden round here.

Fentimans do a nice D&B, and their cola's nice too.

As long as it's not like the tulipe sold in supermarkets full of sweeteners and carciogens, allegedly.

I see it's 90p + vat on GoodnessDirect. May as well get some for the office and make use of the vat reclaimability
