Ok, this has probably been discussed before so please point me in the right direction!
I remember the Nemesis drink which was in Coca Cola vending machines across the country back in '94. I really liked the drink itself, I think it was blackcurrant and licorice(sp!). Does anyone have any pictures of the can design or anyone actually kept a can by any chance as I would love to see it!

A seething taste!

Never been too sure as to where to put it, as the "Branded Drink Archive" still seems a little way off.

I can remember tab (horrible stuff) but not the nemesis drink!

Why can't they do more ride themed drinks?


Anyone remember quattro?

OMG. Alton used to make loads of cool memorablia. Oblivion deoderants, this and others. :P Never even knew about the Nemmy drink.

I wish they could do more of this sort of souvenirs. I suppose it's the enthusiasts that buy it and well there is plenty of them! :lol:

Oh yeah, forgot about Oblivion deodorant!
Maybe I should make another topic "What souveiners/memorabilia would you buy if it was on offer"
How about a Katanga Cola (tastes like pond water and duck poo!)
Rita queen of sauce,
Milk chocolate Air-O's?
I Know, they're awful suggestions!
I can't believe they missed out on the opportunity to build a chocolate shop into CATCF! Sure-fire winner!

I remember the Nemesis drink, used to be on sale all over the place. Not that many of my friends rated it but I used to drink loads of it.

I also used to use the Oblivion deodorants, I remember there being "Rush" and "Zero G" scents, and possibly another that I can't quite remember (may have even been 4 scents total). They used to sell it in X-Sell and I remember it being in Boots - my wife bought me a gift set for Christmas one year before we were married which had 2 cans in.

I thought that the first time I went on it, I was like 'what, no chocolate shop?'!

I can't remember that Nemesis drink at all. Looks cool though. I do however remember Tab Clear, used to love it!

I\'m contemplating thinking about thinking.
It\'s overated, just get another drink in.

I bought it on Ebay a few months ago, got it kept in a comic pouch in the hope I can sell it when it closes for millions of dollars! Just kidding, I'm going to keep it forever!

I really expected a chocolate shop at the end of CATCF really wanted a whipple-scrumptious-fudgemallow-delight but no such luck, maybe in the future.

Does anyone know where I can buy these online?
