Favourite Irish Brand / Company of all time?

Ballygowan. Irelands answer to Perrier once upon a time. . .

Kerrygold.

You can find it all over the world, and I've even bought it in the depths of Africa. Bars of gold and, unlike Guinness, a proper Irish brand!

i think cream soda is a new thing compared to the lemonades and oranges. Never had it as a kid and has only become popular in the last few years (correct me if I am wrong) - I think it is more of an american thing, like root beer for instance.

Also, coke was never the big drink when I was a kid, There would never be coke brought into the house - we could either have orange or lemonade or sometimes lemon, and the lemonade usually came in a big heavy glass bottle, and you would have a glass of it with sunday dinner and it was a MAJOR TREAT. you would watch your other brothers/sisters to see who would have the most left at any one time. You'de nearly be afraid to drink it, cause it would be gone. :o

fishy fishy, (unfortunately!) I can go back about 40 years on the TK Cream Soda - used to be called American Cream Soda with the american flag on the label...It used to be produced in the summer in our house and we used to put ice cream in it (club orange also) and call it an iced soda!!!lol!:)

TK red lemonade.

They don't sell the stuff over here in England, I haven't had a Jameson and red in maybe a year but now that I can't buy one all I want is a jamey and red.
