Blue Pop

Winger
Who made or still makes Blue Pop? I has a look online to see who made it and could only come up with OLD TYME blue pop soda, POP TOPS Cool Blue and Marble Pop Blueberry.
 
Walter White and Jessie Pinkman make it for Los Pollos Hermanos LTD, it was started as a side venture to their other businesses such as fast food and laundry but it took off big style and cause quite the stir in New Mexico before it took off globally.
 
On a similar note, where can you get sarsaparilla these days? Used to love it but not seen it for years.

Says on goggle Asda and Sainsbury’s sell it but I’ve not seen it like
 
Axed by Nichols (Vimto makers) in 2011 according to this-
Where are they now? Products that have disappeared from the supermarket shelves (Food Matters Live)

"Brightly coloured with a low price point, Panda Pops were the soft drink of choice for caterers and funfairs everywhere in the 1980s. Launched in 1976 the brand was unfortunately axed in 2011, despite a rebrand in 2009 that optimistically hoped to make them “cooler”. Available in flavours like Strawberry Jelly & Ice Cream and Cherry, Panda Pops were never going to approach the sophistication of a Diet Coke, but they were popular with kids – the little warm brightly coloured bottles fuelled school discos for years. But its biggest problem wasn’t its image, but what was inside them (the usual suspects that make drinks bright, colourful and sweet) and it became a focal point for the anti-fizzy drinks movement. Badger Beers sold the Panda Pops brand to Nichols for £5.5m in 2005 (in what now looks like an extraordinarily prescient deal) before the brand was discontinued in 2011. Manufacturer Nichols, which is also famous for making Vimto, said axing Panda Pops would mean it could focus on selling healthier soft drinks instead."

i get it delivered from The Modern MIlkman, all the pop including sarsaparilla are lovely, the sarsaparilla is one of the best i've tasted. the orange, apple juice and the flavoured milkshakes are lovely as well. sure they do £5 off a week for first few weeks with a referral code i can pass on if you wanted to try it. they've got an app.

Chippy on Durham Road opposite where the Prospect used to be sells both big bottles of sasp and little bottles of blue pop, so probably a fair few chippies round town do the same.
