Overrated/Underrated: Soft-drink edition

Bundaberg ginger beer I would have before a soda these days.

As a kid it was fanta, adult Pepsi Max, mid life now prefer ginger beer.

Buderim Ginger Refresher with soda matches Bundaberg ginger beer. And you can now buy a sugar free one.

Next stop: sarsaparilla

I find the lack of Sno-Top disturbing.

You can stick your Sno-Drop.

Billson’s sarsaparilla cordial is about the only one with the natural ingredient. Mix it with soda, the alternative.
( I found out that the local IGA has about the full Billson range in the liquor Department of the store, only about two displayed on the soft drinks/ cordial shelves).

Not for long.

Billsons has succumbed to “difficult economic conditions”.

And investing way too heavily in a terrible, awful alcohol product.

The Brewey side is in trouble, reportedly the cordial side is unaffected.

That’s good news. The cordials are great.

A few of them are great. Many are just sickly sweet. And they’re bloody expensive.

I’ve always thought they have too many flavours. In a world where just about every company is rationalising their SKU’s, Billson’s has always struck me as having way too many irons in the fire.

How much are you paying per bottle? Most of my purchases are $9 -$10 a bottle retail over the counter.

It’s very nice

For a refreshing thirst quenching drink nothing beats natural coconut water with no added sugar.

Try these for a b@ll tearing change. Most Indian food shops in Oz stock them. Keep a coke handy for afterwards…
