As the weekend is upon us, and our brains prepare to be beaten unconscious by excessive alcohol, TV, drugs, food or some other such poison I wonder if we have the power to try something new.
If you are going to do one thing this weekend, and I highly recommend you do one thing otherwise you will have wasted that glorious time that separates the days of being overworked and undervalued. I suggest that, if you haven't already, try a drink from the Fentimans collection of adult sodas. I hasten to add that I am not being paid to recommend this product, but I do it purely on the basis of good taste. Although please feel free to send me a crate of the Cola if you so choose!
I discovered Fentimans 4 years ago in a local pub, and have since become addicted to the Curiosity Cola in a way that only a crack addict could understand. The best way to describe the drink is like the taste of summer if I was brought up in the Swallows and Amazons book. I imagine Fentimans would be the drink that the Secret Seven or the Famous Five would drink. This is a drink that makes me crave a simpler time and takes makes me back to eating cola cubes and penny sweets in the playground. All of this is only helped by the fact that it comes in a glass bottle; I'm still not sure why drinks in glass bottles taste better, but they do, and anyone who says differently is a bounder.
Fentimans make a range of flavours including ginger ale, lemonade, and dandelion and burdock. The later, I was told as a child, makes you wet the bed.
So for those of you who haven't tried them I suggest you spend this weekend experiencing a taste of a childhood that only exists in books. For those of you who have tried them I will meet you in the woods and we can play conkers...
Enjoy your weekend.
Fentimans is available at multiple supermarkets and online.
