www.mckenziesfoods.com.au – Ward’s Fruit Saline
“Great tasting refreshing and revitalising lemon drink. Used every morning, this traditional favourite will ‘kick start’ your day. Also popular as a mid afternoon pick me up. Kids love the fizzy flavour and nose tickling bubbles. Delicious any time, but perfect on a hot day or after sport. Revitalise, refresh and rehydrate with a cool bubbling glass of Ward’s Saline.“

After returning from a Chilterns club ride somewhat dehydrated (I know, you wouldn’t think this would be an issue in England, in winter!) I had a flashback and sudden craving for a childhood favourite – Fruit Saline!
After some google wrangling, what I was after appeared: www.mckenziesfoods.com.au – Ward’s Fruit Saline. Guess it’s not as popular as it should be. Soon after I’d placed an order with my dealer (me Mum) and some tins were on their way.
This white stuff comes in a tin and you quickly dump two big spoonfuls into a glass of water. As you stir the bi-carb soda fizzes up. While it’s fizzing – drink!
Lovely and refreshing. Is there anything like this in the UK, I wonder?
Yeah, nice 🙂
Don’t worry, I’m still reading your blog 🙂 Got the 30D with 50mm f1.8 – lovely camera. Been taking ltos of photo’s of Mel – nice! The 50mm with 1.6 crop factor is about an 80mm – great for portraits.
I’m not writing much these days. Twitter/Facebook sees a bit more action but even that’s pretty thin on the ground.
I too had this (or something similar) when I was younger. I am from AU and haven’t had any in a very long time. Still remember the sensation of the bubbles tickling you on the nose as you drunk it whilst it was still fuzzing away.
I’m definitely going to pick some of this up on the way home this evening.
I have been buying your saline lemon fizzy drink for a few months now but the jar I got 2 days ago,bar code number 9 310061 560209,has next to no fizz in it.I mix it the usual way and there is no fizzing like what normally happens.Wondering what has happened??
