    Would it be Shannon Minerals? Not the catchiest name, but they did some unusual flavours like Cream Soda and Raspberryade. Used to see them in small local grocery shops in the mid-west. No image that I can find unfortunately. The bottles were fat too if I remember correctly.

    No but you helped me greatly, I'm pretty sure it was Smak. I Googled Raspberryade and I think this is it!

    Does anyone remember Club 90 from the mid 80s?

    It was delish, but mustn't have done so well as it wasn't on sale for very long. Might have had a mild mint flavour, but I'm not sure.

    I remember a "drink" called Joe Kool.

    It was a psychadelic sachet with a multicoloured hippy on the packet.

    It was available in different flavours which were turned into a drink by adding sinister-looking granules of some sort of chemical to water.

    it could also be used to make a milkshake but it never actually disolved properly in the liquid and usually left you with an inch of toxic sludge in the glass.

    Do this day i can still taste it.

    I used to love their advert slogan: a dwink is not a dwink without a Dwans.
    :pac:

    Shannon Minerals were based in Limerick. in the 80s they used to have 1.5 litre glass bottles which were recycled lucozade bottles. they then changed to 2 litre plastic ones. they had small bottles which used to be 30p. flavours included red and white lemonade, rasberyade, limeade, cream soda and cola.

    I don't remember the larger bottles, but I used to love the 30p bottles of stuff like raspberryade and cream soda. They were something different!

    I collected a ridiculous amount of labels to get a Cadet frisbee. Then I lost it within 2 days. Sad times :(
