    essentially cork. available in a small few spots in dublin. not much else.

    and while tanora is specifically cork, red lemonade is an irish thing.

    Boyfriend picked it up in Dunnes George's St recently. I've seen it in a few Dublin Tescos aswell. No other counties though .

    i'm well aware of the differnce. but there are many foodstuffs that ppl take for granted w/o realising they're local. rasa is another drink that's cork only and impossible to get anywhere else :(

    Tanora isn't sweet enough tbh, Irn Bru or Dr Pepper sugarhighs ftw.

    Once my friend heard a rumour that they were going to stop making Tanora so we drank loads of it and had a little stockpile going. Then after a month or so we noticed that the stocks in the shops were not depleting at all and I had made myself so sick of Tanora I couldn't drink it for a few years.

    I don't get this practice of putting resberry or blackcurrent cordial into everything. Surely it covers the delicious flavour of the Tanora. I used to do it to glasses of stout though 'cause of the bitterness.

    I remember as a child seeing tv adverts for tanora maybe 15-20 years ago so it must have been widely available at that point. Sunkist is another one that you don't see in the shops anymore. That was nice.

    no you can't get rasa outside cork. honestly.

    there;s a massive diffrence between rasa and blackcurrant cordial that a lot of ppl dont seem to be able to comprehend.

    TBH I think it's a method for weaning yourself off fizzy drinks and aquiring a taste for grown up drinks like beer. Since the invention of alcopops I don't know why it's done any more though.
