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

I was in to dandelion and burdock, they still do it I think, also if you were poorly people bought you Lucozade

Yea I used to love Dandelion and Burdock.

And Cream Soda.

Dandelion and burdock as a mixer with spiced rum.... lush (nicknamed weedkiller)

The days when the pop man came to your street were good days. Was that just a wales thing?

We had that in Kent.

Our man was called Mr Bacon, used to sell various drinks, including some previously mentioned (e.g. Cream Soda and Dandelion & Burdock) also sold one that I've never seen anywhere else. Golden Lemonade...

Reflecting on this, I'm hoping that wasn't their version of Driver Tizer

Cremola Foam.

Now you're talkin', ability to seemingly make unlimited fizzy drinks just from a can of powder and some water...it was...like...some sort of magic to a yougster.

We also had the lemonade flatbed lorry come around our estate, brought him out the empties to get the deposit. Gawd, I can't imagine what they were using back then to do the array of flavours like creme soda and pineapple, I imagine it didn't get near even seeing a pineapple.

Had some Ben Shaws DnB yesterday.

And Lucozade used to come in an orange cellophane wrapper.

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

There were no full moons pre-2000?
