Sarasoda was “the sparkling citrus cooler for adults” (as the ad says) that had a minimal alcohol content.  It was mainly available in the 80’s and I”m not sure if it was specific to Canada or if it was widely available. It was expensive for the time — I seem to remember it selling for the very high price of 1 dollar.  Obviously, at that price this was a beverage only for special occasions. 

Although I was not quite an adult, I still bought quite a few over the years and they were worth the extra money.  Yum!

If anyone has any other information or memories please share.

Number one in a series (?) of “foods that I wish I could still eat”. Maybe I’m watching too much Food TV or something?

For the first installation, we honor the late great cereal: Crispy Wheats ‘N Raisins.  For those of you who don’t remember, Crispy Wheats ‘N Raisins launched in the late 70’s and, in 1996, was re-branded Crispy Wheaties ‘N Raisins.  Unfortunately, even that name change couldn’t change the cereal’s fortune and it was eventually discontinued.

Man, that was a good cereal.

I couldn’t track down the classic “Wizard of Oz” commercials so here is another one:

Anyone have any other selections?
