anzo Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Go to your local Turkish owned establishment...usually they import coke from Turkey for some reason or other.Sorry to change the subject a bit, but did anyone ever have that 'Black Jack' drink that was in mini cans? And the Fruit Salad ones? Are those bars still sold, I'd kill for one about now. Edited February 12, 2008 by anzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Fruit Salad ones? Are those bars still sold, I'd kill for one about now.The black jack sweets are one of the worst things that has ever entered my mouth (note: not THE worst, but lets not go there eh).I can imagine a drink tasting of the same stuff would make me rip out my tongue.Fruit Salad on the other hand...

Tony Harrison Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Somewhere I have an ancient Pepsi-Cola glass bottle I found down an old air-raid shelter (obviously it was post-WW2, probably left by someone in the 70s or 80s). In general I collect 'old things', like porcelain fuse-holders, old paperwork, maps, and various things I find on my travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani. Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I suppose I collect DVDs and I have all the different euro coins (from all the countries).. kinda boring though really...P.S: The french cans don't look like that anymore, they look more like your polish can now but with french writing on obviously. I could send one over if you're really that fussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
