Give Us A Suck Of Your Twister!

Do you remember Twisters? A refreshing (refreshing??? They had more kick than a Red Bull!!!) drink in either orange or cherry (I think - I only ever drank orange ones).

Here I am in 1980 with Gill who was most concerned that her dear old dad shouldn't go without his daily fix of orange Twister.

They were vividly orange in fact. Ah the good old days of additives E104 and E110, when a sip of this stuff or a suck at a Smartie or two could turn Gill into a virtual dynamo of unstoppable energy and had me staring at ceilings at night unable to sleep...

Even ice cream cones at that time were a uniform and almost pure orange colour due to the additives. Anything rather than have them appear to be unevenly baked...

Such stupidity is still amongst us of course - all these tomatoes on the vine... As anyone who has ever grown a tomato can tell you, they don't all ripen at the same time. Spray them with the right chemical and they will all turn red however...
