Anybody remember Pocari? One of the first isotonic drinks to launch in Ireland. I think it was mid to late 80s.
Japanese drink. Full name seems to have been pocari sweat but I think they dropped the sweat from the name here. Used to love it. Haven’t seen it in years.

Dont remember it.
Sunkist was nice. “Drink it in the suuuuun, sunkist is the one”
I went back on alcohol after a two month break at the weekend. I love beer and I love wine. Fuck soft drinks.
in my opinion, lucozade tastes better out of a can than a bottle and pepsi tastes better out of a bottle than a can. Now that is scientific fact - there’s no real evidence for it - but itis scientific fact

yeah i remember it, tasted like flat lilt with a bit of salt thrown in for good measure
is Rock Shandy the ultimate roaster mineral (or is it a tin of club orange?)
Was in a pub in a real rural outpost not far from my home place last night. There were two taps - Guinness and Carling. One fella was on the rock shandy. I’ve seen the orange and lemon combo, and even the orange and red lemonade combo made up in pubs. However, your man behind the bar last night made it with orange and 7 up. Tins as well of course.
Orange and red lemonade is a rock shandy.
Orange and lemon is a club shandy.
Orange and 7up will have to be described as a roaster shandy.
In any case, the soft drink of champions is Mi-Wadi.
I thought it was exclusively orange and lemon, it was a real treat.
The only soft drink I’d have now is the Bundaberg Ginger Beer, I’d usually have a few bottles in the fridge and might have one a week. Unbelievable.
Spot on pal
What’s that like? I’d occasionally treat myself to a tin of Old Jamaica from the Afghan lads 24 hour shop on henry street
What’s the difference between ginger beer and ginger ale? Genuine question
None, other than you can get uncarbonated versions of ginger beer. Ginger ale is always fizzy.
The Bundaberg stuff is better, maybe not as fiery but great stuff, try it out I suppose, a 4 pack in Jetland is about 6 euro.
It’s a bollix when we go out and I have to drive. Ginger ale would be my soft drink of choice but they only sell the small bottles at nearly 3 notes a shout
Nah mate, it’s a completely different drink, I know that ginger beer is actually brewed, whatever that means, the ginger ale is just a fizzy drink.
I don’t know the ins and outs but they are definitely not the same
Club orange.
West Limerick encapsulated .
Hard to get around these parts. The local Supervalu had it on special a few months ago. I bought ten bottles of it.
Cider
