Fentimans Curiousity Cola

eugenespeed · 27-03-2008, 23:13

Just wondering if anyone else has had this before?

I bought a bottle tonight and I swear it is the nicest tasting cola I have ever had. Apparently it's made in an old fashioned style.

dodgygeeza · 27-03-2008, 23:47

I've never heard of it but I'll be keeping an eye out for it now.

Daisy Bennyboots · 28-03-2008, 01:06

where did you buy it? I love cola.

CosyShibito · 28-03-2008, 01:08

I've never heard of it, where'd you get it from?

diablo · 28-03-2008, 01:50

I've tried one or two of their products and they all seemed good. I think the Dandelion & Burdock is probably best.

Think I got them from Tescos and/or Booths.

eugenespeed · 28-03-2008, 02:10

I got it from Asda.

One of my local sandwich shops sells this stuff. It is quality.

It tastes like cola bottles.

It is much better than Coca Cola and Pepsi IMO.

moisie · 28-03-2008, 11:04

I do prefer it, but it's expensive. If I drink Cola I just make sure I have a load of ice in it so it doesn't taste so sickly sweet.

dodgygeeza · 28-03-2008, 22:53

I've had their ginger beer once or twice, now that is very nice!

Have you read the ingredients? They are very modern and full of E Numbers.

How can they call it old fashioned? Surely it goes against trade description as E Numbers did not exist in the old days.

fat controller · 28-03-2008, 23:02

I love the stuff - its just a shame it is so expensive. We went through a phase of buying it a dozen bottles at a time

, but it got too much.

Tumble weed · 28-03-2008, 23:30

The stuff is quality, especially their Lemonade.

Here's their website --> http://www.fentimans.com/

Lots of entirely natural substances have been allocated E numbers. Ascorbic acid even has one, and that's vitamin C!

Bloody hell

Fentimans

Thats a blast from the past, I havent drank Fentis for years, the Fentimans lorry used to come round every week when I was growing up

Tuppence deposit on a bottle, the bottles were glass with a black screw in stopper

Best Dandy and Burdock ever, Ginger Beer, Cherryaid and Ice Cream Soda were bloody lovely as well

John_Elway · 29-03-2008, 11:05

I've seen this in Waitrose.

jimbojones · 29-03-2008, 11:22

I tried it the other day, I liked it

leeroybrownfors · 29-03-2008, 15:21

I had a bottle and can only really liken the taste to that of cola bottles!

I think I expected a bit more for the price.

UltraViolet · 29-03-2008, 17:34

Wow, I adore the look of that Coke! I haven't had any coke since Christmas, but might make an exception at the end of the month when I take a trip to Tescos. Oo and the Lemonade.

I didn't like the lemonade one

UltraViolet · 29-03-2008, 23:36

Oh, why not? if I don't like it I'll just give it to someone to mix with their alcohol.

Blimey - does that mean they've reintroduced Cocaine into the recipe?!!

Good one.

Every time I'm near ASDA now I pop in for a bottle.

amk · 04-04-2008, 01:54

How much does a bottle cost?
