New York Seltzer

[EdKorho]

Does anyone remember the short lived New York Seltzer range of soft drinks? Came out in the late 80's and disappeared pretty quick.

I remember it being in clear plastic cans? which was quite novel.

I can remember first seeing drinks in plastic cans at Butlins in Minehead in 1985.

They seemed to be around to about 1989-90.

I think it was a bit earlier than that even, somewhere between 87 & 89 in the UK.
The only place that sold it in my area was a health food shop.
The UK range was smaller than it's US version, five flavours in the US, but I only remember three in the UK.
Here are the American plastic cans, I can't find a pic of the British ones.



The raspberry may well be my favourite fizzy drink of all time, it was incredible.



Can't find much info about the UK version online, but somewhere I have a copy of an old Spectrum magazine with a mention of the fantastic "new" soft drink.
I may well dig it out sometime to confirm the UK release date if anyone other than me is interested.

There are so many drinks I miss that are now history, but if I could pick just one to have back, it would be raspberry New York Seltzer.
In fact I remember it so fondly i'm going to see if I can buy some empty cans for my collection.

Had a quick look on eBay,
No cans there, but they have got these two cool items.





I would snap up the cooler box right now if it was a UK seller, but i've been stung far too many times this year for customs tax & i'm not letting them get another penny outta me.

Gonna keep searching for some cans.......................

Blimey, I could do with a rasperry New York Seltzer right now.

These are different to the ones I mentioned earlier, which had a number of moulded bits on the bottom to keep the can upright.
