    I love chinotto so much. They used to sell the San Pellegrino one here in the UK, but it got discontinued.

    It’s great. Like a Campari and soda without the booze.

      I personally can’t stand it, but chinotto is either you love it or you hate it.

      Fun fact: the picture is for chinotto Neri, with the motto: chi beve neri, neri beve. (Literally “who drinks Neri, Neri drinks” but “Neri beve” sounds like ne ribeve “drinks it again”).

    Here in The Netherlands we have a drink called Cassis. It’s a soda made from fermented blueberries. It sounds more delicious than it is in reality, in my opinion.

      Irn-Bru has long been the most popularly consumed soft drink in Scotland, consistently beating rivals such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Fanta, and reportedly sells 20 cans every second throughout Scotland.

      Holy cow! That’s impressive. Man, I wish I could try it!

    I love chinotto but so far italy was the only place i could get it consistently from. When i lived in hungary i had to go to a special import shop, in spain as well and in sweden right now i even asked a person whos from italy, and i couldnt even find it in one of those import places. From what i heard its because most people hate the taste of it so its only sustainable to sell it italy - shame.

    Cidona, it’s basically a non-Alcholic version of one of the biggest alcoholic apple cider brands in Ireland. A gateway drug.

          No, I think that’s different. I think the commonest was TK but finches was the fancy one. Country spring was the giant bottle you’d expect at kids birthday parties.

    A Czech friend likes Kofola, a cola created in Communist Czechoslovakia, when Coca Cola wasn’t available there. Nowadays, Coca Cola is available, but Kofola still reigns supreme — when I visited her, I discovered that the majority of pubs that I visited had Kofola as their “house cola” on the tap. Coca Cola was often available, but in comparatively expensive bottles, because it was not the default
