Oztalgian 3,292 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Saw this on e-Bay. Sunecta Mixed Fruit was one of my favourites. Made by R.L. Jones of Mansfield, later became Mandora. Our local popman was Redgates Mineral Waters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Cream soda was always my favourite from the Corona range. My overall fave was Dandelion and Burdock, but it had to be Redgates. I remember for a while in the 60s, we had pop delivered by ( beer at home means ) Davenports. They did an offer, four different flavours came each week. Four bottles didn't last five minutes!

Beekay 5,143 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 This thread rather appropriate, given the current state of affairs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,292 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 This is the Aussie version, made from artificial sassafras flavouring liquorice root, vanilla beans and molasses. Sarsaparilla is popular here None of them are to my taste. Much prefer this companies rum Image from the Australian Beer and Wine guide Quote Link to post Share on other sites
