I loved MacDonalds Root Beer,and was shocked when I ordered it once,to be told "we haven't sold that for years"

Yes..it was liquid TCP/Germoline

I love the black ones, my nana used to buy me a quarter of midget gems on pension day and either a quarter of kop kops or liquorice tablets. Think it was passed on from birth coz my mam had cravings for liquorice when she was having me.
