Subject: RE: BS: Things you grew up with, still around
I can't consider Yoo-Hoo or Cel-Ray without thinking of Kaylan and Volman's "Do You Like My New Car?" on the Frank Zappa Fillmore Live album, but it's strange to find some brands in this list that have died in GB, and some GB brands surviving in the US. And no-one said Pepsi! How about comics - Dandy, Beano, Superman, Spiderman? Liquifruta cough mixture with garlic, so everyone knows you are suffering. McGowan's Highland toffee, with the hairy cow on the packet - Macaroon and Raspberry Ripple bars - there's a lot to be found in a corner shop in Glasgow, behind the Brasso, DuraGlit and Dreft.
