Child of 70s? Remember this in the 80? Then buy this.

[Rilot]

Do you remember Quattro?

It was a popular fizzy drink in the early 80s that was killed off. I really liked it.

Well, I just bought this:

And it tastes almost exactly like I remember Quattro tasting.

This has been a PSA on behalf of Rilot - Bringing the 80s back, one day at a time.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Never heard of it

 

[Maundie]

I remember Quattro, don't remember what it tastes like though.

Were you really a child in the 80's if you don't remember the vegetable soup from the vending machine in the swimming baths

 

[GGizmo]

I vaguely remember it, though I don't think I had any.

Pre-2000 society was like another world compared to these days, were children still had innocence.

 

[JonRGV250]

I loved it, but it could strip the enamel off your teeth, and the sugar content
Lilt was another favourite back in the day, for the same reason.
Totally tropical taste

And bitza pizza crisps, and Texan bars.

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

Bring back Tab Clear.

**I'm in pieces, for Bitza Pizza**

This is a joke right?

 

[Pipe & Slippers]

I remember the advert had a robot in it (?)
The drink itself was sickly sweet and probably had more E's in it than a stuttering northener

 

[JonRGV250]

Milk bottles from that era were just ick, but foam shrimps were to die for

Why do you think it is a joke?

 

[cyber69]

I’ll have a quadruple taboo and lemonade on ice please

 

[dave28]

Just speculating but maybe it was meant to be an evolution of Lilt which was released earlier,
but the concept and marketing of Quatro failed to some extent and deemed not worth the valuable shelf space.
A quick look online shows it may still be sold in South America or other regions.

 

[arc@css]

Something about the design of the product that I always liked.

 

[Ninco!]

Don't remember Quattro.

Whatever happened to Lilt, was it replaced by Rio which seems similar.

Talking of nostalgia this post reminded me of Garbage Pail Kids

I seem to remember it being scalding hot, which was nice after an unheated swimming pool and a mouthful of chlorine.

It still exists. Sort of.

It's been rebranded as Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit. They use the tagline "Same Totally Tropical Taste". I've tried it and they're not wrong, it is Lilt.

 

[Ninco!]

@Feek I never knew!

My favourite that’s now pretty much gone was Sunkist. It was different league to Fanta and Tango.
