Sun Kool Cola (red) used to enjoy a bottle of Globe pineapple juice from time to time and love ginger beer too
Dunbar's Cream Soda. "Endless free supply" in my dad's shop in the 60s

It was the Alpine Juice lorry that came by our house in the early 90s.
They had a fruit punch/cocktail flavour that was amazing.
I've always had a soft spot for red kola. Not sure why but it's always felt a bit like Edinburgh's own drink whilst Irn Bru is quite Glasgow. I know the best known brand is Barr's but still.
Had a real liking for Moray Cup when I lived in Aberdeen too. Don't think you can still get it though.
Think the fruit punch one was just called Mixed Fruit.Quote:

Red Cola….had some last night at Bertie’s fish & chips restaurant.
Another for Red Kola especially with chips. Also used to like an ice cream float with a scoop of ice cream in a glass of American Cream Soda. Surprised nobodies mentioned Tizer yet.
Blue Moon Lemonade from the Alpine lorry.

I remember many years ago, every Friday myself and my Brother would visit our nana to watch Pot Black ( she had a colour tv )and she would send us down to the chippy for a bottle of red cola, black pudding suppers and she would have her supper with a glass of advocat
Barrs Pineappleade was my fave.
Anyone remember Green Limes Crush - a fluorescent green version of limeade :greengrin
Another one that just popped into my head was Cresta Lemonade. I'm sure there were other flavours but I only remember us buying the lemonade.
I'm sure it was utter ***** but the surfing polar bear on the bottles was pretty cool.
Bon Accord Pineapple juice and the flourescent green lime juice previously mentioned were always my favourite when the lorry came round, stuff was rocket fuel, no wonder I was radge as a kid
Dandelion and Burdock, loved it.

Kwenchy Cup is up there as well, especially when turned into a Jubilee
Sarsaparilla, a bit exotic for my day but I did try a few
Perfect when overturned in the cup and attacked with a spoon.Quote:

Yeah football special is hard to beat tbh . Mcdaid's football special and the banana lemonade are very popular here. Funny thing about the banana lemonade is I actually like it but don't like bananas at all . Hard to figure that one out 😂Quote:

Top Deck. Training for kids.
At my nana's in Dalkeith Bon accord's Pineappleade straight off the truck in glass bottles, in town Globe's Sun Kool Cola and Barrs American Cream soda off the icy. At my aunties in Manchester, I think the van was Coronas and the best juice there was Dandelion and Burdock.
I was a sucker for a good fizzy orange soda (I think it was Orangeade). Never was a lover of Fanta, but Orangeade always hit the spot.
I'd add Tizer too, but thankfully the wee corner shop across from my wife's mother in law still sell it!
Think it was Bonn Accord who did it, but orangeade in a glass bottle off the van/truck, it was BRIGHT orange, and tasted amazing (if anyone has had Fanta in the US, it was very similar to that)
Kia Ora, always remember their adverts at the pictures
