Yeeuch....cannot get the taste out of my mouth Sad

I normally buy sparkling water or ribena with my lunch, but I thought about buying something different for a change

oooh, I love Dandelion and Burdock, and Dr Pepper and Vimto

(not that I drink fizzy drinks very often)

Now Iron Bru - that is disgusting!

I love diet Irn Bru.

This is the nicest cream soda,though I like Barr's too.

Breckland orchard's cream soda with rhubarb.

Such a pretty bottle! And I love anything that tastes of rhubarb.

RabbitPies · 10/04/2014 17:34

Their drinks are delicious.

I am addicted to their pear and elderflower,and really want to try their ginger beer and chili.

I love dandelion and burdoch both fizzy and the cordial.
Is the OP talking about the cordial though as it is very different and not like the fizzy at all.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 10/04/2014 17:49

Love D and b, though some taste a bit marzipanny. Boak. Love sarsaparilla and root beer and cream soda. Dr pepper is fucking awful as is cherry coke. Slivovitz is truly evil, smells like diarrhoea, tastes similar. I would imagine

good. all the more for me!

getting a cheap one though can be disappointing.

borisgudanov · 11/04/2014 20:17

I has it once when I was 10 and it was utterly foul. Never again. YANBU.

SauvignonBlanche · 11/04/2014 20:21

I love D&B, we used to get it from the 'pop man' too!

rinabean · 11/04/2014 20:23

I've never seen such an unreasonable thread ever! Wish I had some rn

FrancesNiadova · 11/04/2014 20:25

YABVU. Sarsaparilla is scrumptious too!

FreudiansSlipper · 11/04/2014 20:25

agree along with all fruit teas

MyNameIsAnAnagram · 11/04/2014 20:27

It's lovely! Must have drink with fish and chips. I had D&B cake recently which was really nice too .

BolshierAyraStark · 11/04/2014 20:29

YABVU, D&B is gorgeous!

wowfudge · 11/04/2014 21:40

D&B is one of those things I just have to think about and I can practically taste it. Might have to get some tomorrow.

Always hated Tizer - goodness knows what that was meant to taste like. And root beer: yuck. It's like a mouthful of germolene.

alseb · 11/04/2014 22:08

D & B with fish and chips served in real newspaper, bought in a back street chippy with my much loved nan. You could even take the pop bottles back and get money. Happy days! Also, a glass of, "sass" with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it - treats circa 1973!

theoldtrout01876 · 12/04/2014 00:20

dandelion and burdock, sarsaparilla, root beer and birch beer. I declare them all Satans piss. Horrible stuff,who the hell came up with those flavors

BumpNGrind · 12/04/2014 00:25

Op YAB so U. I love dandelion and burdock, I only ever get it when I go to the chippy now but it's an absolute treat!

I'm wondering if it's possibly a working class drink?

Misspixietrix · 12/04/2014 00:28

YDBU. Another D & B fan here. Try the American Cream Soda next time OP. Wink

Ploppy16 · 12/04/2014 08:46

D&B and cream soda are gorgeous! Root beer tastes of.germoline though, DS loves it but can't get any locally as the American sweet shop closed recently.

GoldenGytha · 12/04/2014 18:36

I'd never seen or heard of
Dandelion and Burdock til I moved to England in the earlx 90's. We don't have this stuff really in NE Scotland. I thought it was vile, horrible stuff too OP.

Now, I've been back home in Aberdeenshire for many years and hope I never set eyes on the evil stuff again!
