A drink of my and your youth
I love this drink - COCKTA (pronounced KOKTA). It used to be advertised as "a drink of my and your youth". It is similar to coca cola with a hint of licorice taste. Everybody loves it, especially kids. This advert took me back to my childhood.
What reminds you of the good old days?

Cockta was our socialistic "response" to capitalistic coca cola...
I think it had a hint of pomegranate...not sure.
Do you remember "Traubisoda", a soft drink made from the grapes. It tasted almost like wine...
I love your two posts, yesterday your favorite pastry, today your favorite drink.
I thought the white marks on the bread were sugar, it's amazing that it's actually salt. The reponse to obesity maybe ?
Your post about Cockta is really interesting, and so is Sretno dijete's comment. The socialist Coke? That's a good idea !
Oh that's a colourful adverstiment!
uhm... let me think about it... :)
Oh, it`s so long time, but I can always to remember my father, when we came back from Finnish sauna on Saturdays and he gave me a apple lemonade. It was dark brown and so, so good. And I buy it still now and then just to remember those days.
Thank you all for stopping by, going down the memory lane and sharing your childhood stories.
Owen: that is a nice picture you painted of you going down the street slurping a fizzy drink. They don't make the bottles like this any more. They were quite cool.
Also, I can't access your DP. Can you send me the link please?
Mimmu - what a lovely, lovely image of your dad giving you apple lemonade on Saturdays. Thank you for sharing that story.
Sretno dijete, of course i remember Traubisoda. Your comment about our socialist response to capitalistic coca cola amused me. My friend thinks that there was a taste of cherry in Cockta. I suppose we all experience the drink differently. Thank you for stopping by!!
Nathalie and Dsole: Merci and gracias for visiting Tuzla DP. I really appreciate it.
In Brittany, we have "Breizh Coca", breizh means "breton", you give me an idea, i might post about it!
I remember in my grandmother's garden, the apple tree: it was forbidden to pick up the apples, but we did it of course, when the fruits were not ripe and very, very green and very, very acid. We were always ill after that but it was so good! Pleasure of the forbidden fruit, i suppose.
Really cold A&W Root Beer in a icy frosted glass mug. Ummmm I can taste it now. Put some vanilla ice cream in it and I was in heaven..
I've never heard of this drink before your post--so thanks for introducing me!
hmmm i guess music would remind me of my childhood - but i like the name - it sounds very funny but looks delicious
