Some flavours you never hear of these days, who remembers Sarsperella?
Steve Lucas

Heather Newby yes,,, loved sarsparilla... and creaming soda... and lime..

Les Bryce You can still buy sarsparilla from the supermarket, made by Bundeberg in Aussie. I quite often get it. The Yanks called it root beer cos its made from the sarsparilla root.

Geoffrey King turning left into Mackay from Tainui?

Margaret McBride you can get sarsperella,made by Bunderburg.

Brian Borgfeldt It's not the same.

Heather Newby we kids got pocket money on fridays and went to the corner shop in Blaketown and got a bottle of grogans.. it was our treat.

Marilyn Paterson Sarsaparilla and creaming soda still cannot be beaten!

Bev Kelly Marilyn... ha!! And we were just discussing that a day or three ago

Brent Tomlinson Marilyn Paterson quite right can’t be beaten

Myron Caldwell When on the Coast I went into a country pub and asked for a sarsparilla. The publican said "if you come on here you drink beer" I told him I was too young to have a beer. and he was surprised when my brother in law told I was a 16 year older. I was far taller than him even at that age. I got my drink. I was also taller than old Sailer as well. Tony and Arthur will know him. Blue.

Judy Crestani We used to cash in our bottles just before Christmas

Arthur Bass Did Aunty Kath squat beside you ? Sailor used to tell us not to leave our schoolbags in the doorway to trip his regulars up.

Kenny Williams Used to work at Grogan and Blackmore it was great.
