Cresta soda?!
 

Does anyone remember Cresta pop as a kid?

Or does anyone remember Glees - a sort of addictive cake bar tested on fat, greedy Geordies but never made it outside of the North East as the Geordies ate them all? Rumoured to have something in them to make them moreish - which in Newcastle meant they were edible and available!!

It's frothy, man! :D

:mad: Beaten to it :lol1:

I had forgotten that - but not the taste of the chemical flavoured soda!

Sorry! :lol1:

You actually drank some and have reached 40ish - you must have a cast iron constitution ;):D

Mate's parents used to buy him loads. Helped that they were in catering .. So I used to consume a fair amount when at his place. Still remember that taste ... I'm sure I'd still find it pleasant now, I'd just be a little wiser as to what was in it!

But still remember the polar bear with the shades ... hey, they KNEW global warming was coming !!!

Yeah, I remeber Cresta, and Corona too - it used to be delivered in 1 litre bottles by the Corona Man :D

Where we lived (Northampton) there was also another similar soft drinks provider - I think it was called Alpine?

I found a chip of glass in a bottle (nearly swallowed it) so I wrote letter to them. Three days later the area manager was on the doorstep with about 8 crates of the stuff. And I lived to tell the tale :D.

I think I was pretty fed up with it after getting through that little lot so never bought it again.

It was kind of a chemicaly fruity flavour, though not like any of the fruits it was supposed to be, with smaller bubbles than say Coke or Lemonade.

Aah, the good old days. Down at the park, jumpers fro goalposts...........

Tizer - is that still around?

Yea but it tastes different, not as chemically, different drink entirely

my grandma lived in ashington (not far from newcastle) and used to buy us corona and cresta lemonade when we went to stay - along with pieroni's ice cream of course......mmmmmmmm

Oooooooooohhhhh......Tizer and ice cream!:D

what about Cremola Foam and Rise And Shine

fizzy powder stuff that you would just add water to

Yes! I used to do that.

Amazing I still have teeth really.

i remember Alpine being from Northampton.

Also used to like Tab!!!

Alpine, that was the one! I was from Northampton as well!

I also used to like Tab!

Those were the days when snickers were marathon!

My gran used to buy that alpine sh!te, loved it at the time but it must be filled with alsorts.

What was that mixture of chemicals you put into a machine and it addded a compressed cylinder of C02 to make it all fizzy, I used to drink that stuff like the bucket load lol
