Citra is back in India

[Sushubh]

citra i think had a moutain dew like thing for packaging. it had a green bottle. but the inside was transparent aerated drink. i sort of remember the transparent thing because at a birthday party i picked up a glass of citra thinking it to be a glass of water. only realized when i took the first sip. which turned out to be well fizzy. i was probably in class 4-5 then maybe smaller.

Gold spot black? When was that? I thought it was always orange. The zing thing!

my mistake, i was thinking about pepsi while writing that

Campa Cola maybe the "black" you thought of?Another cola-based drink (grape-cola if I may add) popular and available in Tamil Nadu is Bovonto. More available in the smaller shops and smaller town areas though.

wohoo.. i remember citra , green bottle with colored 3 dots besides that citra name. I actually wanted them to bring back vanilla coke, dont know why people hated that drink. I add a drop of vanilla essence to coke to try and get that flavour Crush was orange flavoured more like mirinda orange.:cyclops:

Also to make occasional appearances (atleast in Chennai) cola drinks were "Sport" Cola also from Coca-cola house. It was launched alongside Crush.

The problem with things like Miranda Apple, Watermelon Fanta, Green Apple Fanta, Blue Pepsi, Vanilla Coke etc is that they are good for some quick business for being unique initially but subsequently end up being dead stock as most people tend to go back to the original set of drinks and only a few would like to "switch over" completely to the new drink.

soft drinks are like cigarettes... everyone usually has a taste for a specific brand. i personally prefer thums up over everything else. i cannot stand pepsi.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I also remember Canada Dry, cool cool Canada.

Penguin used to be in the commercials I guess.

man! Parents wouldn't even allow me to taste that shit.

i do remember that i liked it along with another drink that is no longer available here... cannot even recall the name. the first word i think was american.

You are probably referring to Cadbury Schweppes Canada Dry.
