    Looking to find the name of a sparkling water drink! Used to be able to buy it in Tom Stanley's 10-15 years ago. The two flavours we remember were strawberry and kiwi (maybe lime too) and lemon and lime. It was a sparkling water/ fizzy water drink. It came in a plastic bottle. The strawberry and kiwi one came with a pink label that had pictures of strawberry and kiwis on it, the cap was grey. The lemon and lime had a clear label with pictures of lemons and limes on it. The writing on it was white bubble writing.
    Has anyone idea what this used to be? We can't find the name of it anywhere! Thanks!

    *I've moved this into the main Food forum :)

    Was it Sparkling Ice?

    Edited to add: That's not a great photo, I think it's American - the kiwi & strawberry is a green colour here.

    Thanks for moving it for me :)

    But no that's not sparkling ice, it was around way before sparkling ice was but then got discontinued we think?!

    Snapple is what I think you were looking for. Use to drink it in the states when on a j1 many years ago. Spar shops use to stock them

    I think Snapple were glass bottles.

    Could it have been Rubicon?

    Yeah you're right it wasn't Snapple and also not Rubicon... We've googled it for hours just to find the name and nothing🙄

    It's none of the above, thanks for all the suggestions so far! If it helps the drink itself was pink!

    Was it definitely sparkling water? There used to be a drink we sold in a café I worked in ~10/12 years ago that may fit the description, but it was a soft drink/lemonade type drink, not sparkling water.

    Sorry it was a soft drink/ lemonade! What was the name of the one you sold?

    I'm really struggling to remember, this was back in 2008. I only remember that the strawberry one was SO sweet. I mixed it with vodka one night and gawked everywhere! :eek:

    /edit: There was also a Cream Soda in the line I'm thinking of. It could have been Jones? But the pictures on google don't look quite how I remember.

    Might be a bit basic but Finches? I remember they had a pink lemonade.
    I was thinking Country Spring or TK but don’t recall them having one.
