If gulping down a cold, thirst-quenching soft drink on a typical sunny afternoon makes your day, then you will be praying for another chance to down these nostalgic soft drinks again.

Not sure if you can find all these drinks in Singapore but let's reminisce the good old days. Oh, the memories.

Sinalco

Not to be confused with Senoko, Sinalco is fondly remembered for their bright pink cans and a flavour that doesn't taste anything remotely like orange despite its orange-tinted fizz. We believe one or two mama shops here still sell the odd can.

Green Spot

Funny name for an orange-flavoured drink, Green Spot made its first appearance in the States in 1934 when it debuted in glass bottles (old school, yo). You cannot find it in Singapore anymore but it's okay, there's still Fanta.

RC Cola

Royal Crown Cola, also known as RC Cola, used to be manufactured at the now defunct National Aerated Water Company located off Serangoon Road. It has since gone off the soft drink map in Singapore. However, you can still find it in Malaysia.

Anything and Whatever

Playing on the usual irritating response by many Singaporeans, Anything and Whatever were the talk of the town back in 2007. Anything was carbonated and it came in six flavours such as coke and root beer, while Whatever featured six non-carbonated flavours such as iced lemon tea and peach tea. However, they soon went out of favour in 2010.
