Highlight of the week. My brother and I had it polished off on the day it came. 2 bottles a week.

Never seen another bottle like it before or since with all the pimples in the glass.

Remember the stopper, and don’t forget Dandelion & Burdock flavour. 5 bottles for 2 shillings & 6 pence. 14 & half P. Circa 1950.

We had Bon Accord soft drinks in Scotland. Same idea. Just looked it up and they closed in 2000 but have recently relaunched still as a family business. Cream soda was my particular favorite. Thanks for posting the original photo!

Definitely! Hard to find these days. Ask for it and 99% have never heard of it.

Vimto was a close second...
