    My favourite ever canned soft drink and they've dissappeared.
    It's a nightmare.
    Well at least in my local shops in Cork.
    Anyone know what happened to this deliciousness?
    I hate Fanta and Club Orange!

    Was just thinking about this yesterday evening. Was always my favourite drink, but seems to have vanished now.


    Deeply upsetting :D

    The bottles contain very little and cost a lot more than the cans did, only 275ml.

    I used to love the fizzy pineapple one. The 55 is 55% orange juice, you could trying making your own by mixing orange juice and club orange or sugar & soda water, it would not be as fizzy of course, if you had a sodastream you could fizz it up.

    Its very expensive for what it is, like schloer, seeing as its just heavily diluted concentrated orange juice fizzed up. I bet you could make a nice one with real orange juice, like tropicana, i.e. not concentrated.

    I wonder do things you fizz up yourself work out the same.
    I have a sodastream, but can't find gas for it.

    Oh I remember trying to make fizzy orange juice as a kid with the soda stream.
    Ended up with orange juice everywhere!!:eek:

    That's why you put the concentrate into the water after you fizz it!!
