    While doing some work on my house, I came across a bottles of Finches orange in the eaves of the house that the builder must have left 20 years ago.

    It struck me that I haven't seen (or certainly noticed) Finches soft drinks in supermarkets for many years.

    Are they gone?

    Its still listed on the C&C product portfolio - http://candcgroupplc.net/brands/non-alcoholic/finches
    I would have seen it more in pubs/restaurants than shops.

    Haven't seen them in Tesco or Supervalu.

    Although VUZE sparkling orange in ALDI really reminds me of Finches...

    I remember whenever I was going to the pub as a child with my parents and I'd ask for a club orange and a pack of tayto and if you ever got a Finches back it was a real downer.
