Like to suck on a couple of old stones, do you?
sarsaparilla no good.
same as liquorice lollies yuck.
Overrated: anything with phenylalanine in it (Coke Zero etc…)
HAP, you are a sad twisted individual for calling Old Stoney into disrepute.
Strong opening with Pasito and Portello, genius lolly waters.
Underrated : Euro soft drinks
Overrated : US soft drinks
San Pellegrino glass bottle on a hot day vs a gallon of Mountain Dew in a plastic bucket. All that’s wrong with the world
Chinotto is great. Love the Limonata as well.
Mexico got some good ■■■■ going on too.
Jaritos
Generally too sweet.
Ginger Beer on the other hand
Anyone who drinks it without flavouring is a psycho… horrible tasting.
Old Stoneys was the bomb!
Tab.
That was effectively replaced by Diet Coke.
Dr Pepper Strawberries and Cream is special
Fresca!
As a kid I loved soft drinks other than coke. We used to get Marchants and Tarax delivered at different stages. Now, I find them all sickly sweet. Soda water with a squeeze of lemon is what I’d rather these days. I did go through a stage of getting bitter lemon where the bitterness would offset the sugar to an extent. Today, I’d only drink soft drink if I could dilute it with about 70% mineral or soda water. A can of soft drink has about 12 heaped teaspoons of sugar. I reckon it’s why I have a mouth full of fillings. I’m kind of glad I dropped it a few decades ago, as I’d probably have a mouth full reconstructed or false teeth, and an emptier bank balance, otherwise.
Also, the old two blisters to open cans, made it an event, possible injuries, felt like you’d earned it
Isnt that in all meats, dairy products, nuts etc ?
Soda water and fresh line for me. For the same reasons. Can’t hack the sweetness any more.
