any idea where we get this ridiculous expensive stuff

Hecate

Spar, tesco, superquinn....its not exactly hard to find, usually lumped in with the juices and soft drinks.

lyonsy

man, i'd kill everyone in this room right now for a waggon wheel....
But anyway when i was 12 or 13 we used steal from a drinks warehouse and among the stuff we got were babychams, but also Woodies Alcoholic Lemonade and Grog, that was orange woodies came in a variety of flavous, they were the original alcopops i believe.
Also a drink that dissappeared as quickly as it appeared was Liptonice, an ice tea sold in a can endorsed by John Macenroe.

Ice-teas of varying types are still to be got (at least in Austria). Peach flavoured ice-tea being the one that I really don't like the thoughts of.

ya but im pretty sure the liptonice thing was a first for ireland, at least until aldi and lidl came along

Anybody remember snowball?

It was lemonade and advocat (I think) and it was sold in small, babycham like green bottles in a six pack.

I used to love them. Desperately sweet, with a bitter aftertaste. Yum.

Anyone remember 'Tizer' ; It was a real fizzy thirst quencher, available in large bottles at a very reasonable price. With the choice of a number of flavours ?..

tom dunne,

Snowballs have always been available in licensed premises. Any real barman knows how to make it in an instant. My Mother loved Snowballs, thats how I know about the drink, and I am sure you can still have one made for you - upon request.

Healio

ah schizan, i thought i was theonly one who drank it, i used to buy the little cans by the dozen, i was in spain last year and came across it.
Canada Dry, the best ginger ale ever made, i could only stomach about half a litre of it though, it used to make my teeth feel funny.

Tanora is alive and well and drunk in large quantities here in Cork. Beautiful drink - I remember a national tv campaign back in the early 90's - I guess it never took off.

I remember the Canada Dry adds - i thought "Discovered in 87 countries" or words to that effect was one of their slogans.

Agent Smith
