Boring soft drink selections

Re: Boring soft drink selections

I developed a taste for root beer in Thailand last year (it's big over there) but it is tricky to find over here. As Richard says you can get it in ASDA but only in a six can pack. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

For the last few years Asda has had Carter's Root Beer, I've got the feeling Wimpy used to have Root Beers.

Good point - its always the same dull selection.

By the way, whatever happened to 'Quattro' ?

And why can you not get Root beer anywhere in the UK these days? (I used to love a McDonalds Root Beer on a hot day).

Asda still has a selection of drinks in cans, though you need to buy them in 6 packs.

Yes i have noticed it too. D&B, Ginger beer etc are great on a hot summers day with ice.

Has anybody else noticed how dull soft drink choices have become? I'm talking about the cans and small bottles available next to the sarnies in supermarkets and shops. At one time there used to be a vast range available but now it seems everybody has sold their soul to Coca Cola. I'm tired of seeing boring old Coke, Diet Coke, Fanta, Sprite and Dr Pepper everywhere I go!

Now I've started getting the cheap own brand 2l bottles of old favourites like Cream Soda, Ginger Beer and Dendelion and Burdock to fill my small bottles with. Much better!
