    Dude, Schweppes cola was produced after Schweppes lost the contract for Pepsi.

    IMHO Schweppes cola was terrible, LA Cola was better

    My magnificent seven:
    1. Fry's "Five Fruits" (chocolate bar, available until about 1995)
    2. Schweppes Cola (disappeared around 1999 or 2000)
    3. McDonald's "El-Maco" (a burger they used to have in the early-mid 90's)
    4. Scorched Peanut Bars (80's & 90's)
    5. Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs (confectionary, last saw them in the 80's)
    6. Halo Bar (ice cream, not since the late 80's)
    7. Fags / Flags (confectionary, fake cigarette sticks etc, not available since the 80's as they weren't considered politically correct [encouraged kids to smoke etc])
