Evans lemonade
Evans lemonade
My old mother (97) has developed a retro taste for the lemonade of her and my youth - Evans. The bottles had some sort of plastic 'cork' with a rubber ring round it. And the shape of a hand embossed on the top.
The upper half of the bottle was sort of (small) pebbly. They did Ice Cream Soda; Sarsparilla; Dandelion and Burdock (mmm) as well.
Does anyone know where/if it can be found today?
At a pinch Villa might do.
She's been fed Schweppes, Whites, Sainsburys and 'Victorian Lemonade' and that stuff with bits in. Doesn't like them.

Re: Evans lemonade
I remember those flavours well, Jerry. I used to look foreward to going to my aunty Mary's who lived in the street parralel with Boldon Lane (forgot the name). There was a corner shop that sold Evans Sasparilla, Dandylion and Cream Soda. We couldnt get them in the wilds of Primrose!Jerry wrote:My old mother (97) has developed a retro taste for the lemonade of her and my youth - Evans.

Your question reminded me. Did you Like New Zealand have those soft drink bottles that had a marble inside the neck. The theory was the gas would cause the marble to rise up and block the gas from escaping and thus keep the fizz in the drink. They are a expensive collectors item today. But unknowingly as a kid I used to break the bottle to get the marble out whenever I found one of them.

You bring back happy memories of Evans pop. I remember the screw bottle with the hand embossed on the top. I have never tasted pop like it.
Being brought up in a teetotal house (made up for it since mind) all family have big glass of Evans lemonade with Sunday Dinner. If I remember it was a faint green colour.
I remember Papa Maplin when we had to drink Villa pop instead he say nice but not as good.
I was thinking about it the other day.
WHO HAS GOT RECIPE FOR EVANS LEMONADE.
Someone must have it.

I always value Pilots wit and input
This lemonade thread reminds me of a true story from a few years back. Apparently, someone took what he/she thought was an old roman coin into the museum at the roman fort and the coin was said by the experts to be a genuine roman coin. It turned out that a kid visiting the fort saw the "coin" on display and said that it was one of a set which were given away lodged into the top of the pop bottle tops ! Red faces all round !.
cheers.
gag.

I was just thinking about CRESTA. " It's frothy man !"
Then I just remembered Creamola Foam that was in a tin and added to either water or milk...........water I think.
"Creamola Foam, fizzes and foams, foams and fizzes, fizzes and foams "
Something like that.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
