All matches are safety matches

So how do I buy the non safe kind? Do they even exist and what's unsafe about them?

the non-safety matches were the ones that could be lit off a variety of surfaces, that you could strike the match against a stone and it would light for example.

safety matches can only be lit from the strip at the side of the box afaik that is the difference.

they did away with the non safety about thirty years ago.

Club Shandy
About 0.00003 per cent of beer in it

Though I was so hard drinking it :cool:

It's gone over a decade now, not surprised as the stuff was vile
Beer is nice and so are soft drinks but this is one combination that badly failed

Another brand I loved Tesco dropped is Rose's Lime Juice, you can still get it some places but need to look around.

Where can you get this? Have been looking around for this for the last few years to no avail

Anyone remember Yellow Pack, Quinnsworth's own brand? The nightmare for every kid:

Me: Any coke in the fride Mam?
Ma: Yeah
Me: *opens fridge, sees Yellow Pack coke*
Me: It's ok I'm not thirsty anymore

Dunnes Coke was lovely. Remember you could get those tiny cans of it as well, they were like 26p or something at the time. Dunnes Coke is probably as cack as all the other ones now.

Mars to bring Treets back to the shelves

By Mirror.co.uk 19/07/2009

A chocolate favourite is making a comeback after 21 years.

Confectionery giant Mars is bringing Treets out of retirement as part of the growing credit crunch trend for bringing back classic brands.

The chocolate peanut sweets - first launched in 1976 - will reappear in Sainsbury's at the end of the month.

Treets - originally available in peanut, toffee and chocolate varieties - were axed in 1988 to make way for M& M's.

Mars spokesman Bep Sandhu said they will continue to sell peanutflavoured M& M's.

She added: "The recession has meant people are staying in more and as 70 per cent of confectionery is shared, this launch is ideal."

Did a good few years as a barman and used to have one or two of these on morning shifts to give me a boost.

Very popular drink for hangovers too

It's like fizzy orange juice, it's the biz. There was a pineapple version too and that was even rarer

Have not seen it in pubs in years and years

CiaranMT

Bar I worked in used to stock it.. I left a long time ago and it's been closed for the last few years.. Sad to see it happen.

Who remembers Val Joyce "Airs and Races" on RTE 1 radio?

And Larry Gogan's " Just a Minute" radio quiz ..... ahhh never mind, shure they were hard ones today.

Diet Cidona

I'd buy if it was around but for some reason they don't make it
Edit, and I've not seen a large bottle of Cidona in a pub for a long, long time

Virgin Cola, just to be a huge seller.
I read Richard Branson's book and he said it was liquid profit, cost feck all to produce and he was making lots of money off it. Where's it gone

Vending machines with Dunnes Stores Cola. Used to be the cheapest can you could buy. There's a reason you can't buy cans of it, it was vile
