It's just not fair!

Post by rubato »

It's just not fair! Not a damn bit fair I tell you.

Twinkies will probably be brought back but I still can't get Schweppes bitter orange or bitter lime lemon ! And while we're on the subject of things that didn't deserve to disappear what happened to "Emperor's Choice" tea? and Balkan Sobranie cigarettes? (ok I don't smoke but its the principle of the thing!).

We need a congressional investigation about this.

Actually, Schweppes bitter lemon IS still around. I'll ask the next Pepsi salesman I see about orange & lime.

$3.49 for a 1.5L bottle from Amazon.com.

But I certainly haven't seen it in a grocery store for years...

It's not distributed in the US by the parent company. Small amounts are imported here and there.

You can still get both Schweppes bitter lemon and Sobranie in the UK.

Thankfully you can't get Twinkies

I prefer Canada Dry Ginger Ale over Schweppes. But I liked Schweppes tonic water (when I drank Gin and tonics) over all other tonic waters.

I saw it in a packie a couple weeks ago. Like I said, I will ask the next Pepsico salesman I run into.
