How is orange juice and champagne non-alcoholic?


My favourites - Schloer (red grape or peach and grape in particular), Cherry Coke or traditional lemonade.

ROOT BEER - tastes very odd and smells identical to GERMALINE
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: StrollingMinstrel on February 28, 2006, 02:50:46 pm

I'm a fan of plain old diet coke with ice and a slice.


Also rather partial to Old style cloudy lemonade

Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: chocolate chick on February 28, 2006, 02:52:02 pm
Ice and a slice. Love it

I think I may have to try root bear. I haven't tried ginger beer either.

I know, I know....I haven't lived!

Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: wjp666 on February 28, 2006, 03:00:06 pm
root beer is in the same kinda region as that, but a little tougher.
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: chocolate chick on February 28, 2006, 03:27:12 pm
I may get some next time I am in the supermarket.
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: wjp666 on February 28, 2006, 03:28:34 pm

Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: chocolate chick on February 28, 2006, 03:33:16 pm
I'll give it a go. You never know until you try it

I am unsure of the Diet Cherry Coke. I have had 2 bottles now 
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: oldspice on February 28, 2006, 04:24:11 pm
Root Beer definitely tastes like Germolene!
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: smurfboy on February 28, 2006, 05:36:58 pm
Okay, I have to ask - why have you all been drinking germolene??
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: on February 28, 2006, 07:50:18 pm

Root beer tastes like Dentyne chewing gum to me.


Incidentally I couldn't drink it to slake a thirst.

Fizzy pop doesn't really quench thirst .

Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: loulou on February 28, 2006, 10:24:04 pm
Lots of people say pop.What do you say?
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: chocolate_eating_monster on February 28, 2006, 10:25:57 pm

Post by: chocolate_eating_monster on February 28, 2006, 10:29:15 pm
seriouslyy, must be a local thing, never heard anyone call it pop before
except on tv. wasnt a dig.

to be accepted now, clean slate u said last night
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: loulou on February 28, 2006, 10:33:05 pm
And I meant it. I wonder if pop is just a northern term or if I just never grew up.

No it's not just northern, we called it pop too. I think you can still get Panda Pops which are cheap bottled fizzy drinks.

Vimto and dandilion and burdock are gorgeous drinks, especially with ice!!
Title: Fizzy drinks
Post by: StrollingMinstrel on March 01, 2006, 05:00:48 pm
Vimto squash is v nice. I usually have a bottle in the cupboard. You can make your own fizzy vimto by mixing it with lemonade.

A agree! The only things which seem to quench my thirst are water, juice made from concentrate or milk.

Has anyone tried the new Ribena Berry Burst? Its tasty
