People who say 'tofees' in the shop instead of sweets when buying for the kids are wools. Actually, I class everyone as a wool who isn't a scouser, just different brands of wool. Even if you come from the Bronx and are dead hard your still a wool.

Dandelion and Burdoc was my joint favourite along with Cream Soda ( the proper Green one ) .

Dandelion and Burdock was still around in the early 90s.
Cream Soda was still the best though, I think it was American Creme Soda as well

Don't remember it then, assumed it got forgotten about with such a sad name. No kids going to go in the shop and ask for a can of Dandelion and Burdock, bit of a marketing strategy needed there. Can't remember the taste too well, kind of like root beer but better. Tizer was always shite though.

D&B is still going as far as I know. Up to a year or so ago they were selling it in cans in the vending machine in work, might still do haven't really noticed.
 One of the abiding memories of my childhood is running into the house after charging round the streets like a mad bastard and guzzling half a bottle of Dandelion & Burdock from the fridge.

I thought Cream, Soda was always green, or you could get American Cream Soda was white.

Anyways, now for the big question.


Does anybody know where i can buy a bottle / can of root beer?




And adding germoline to either water or lemmo is not an avenue i'm prepared to go down.
