Remember the pain

This is fine. Encouraging children to associate with cigarette toys is fine. When this was made cigarettes used to be healthy. All the tobacco company scientists said so.

at least they didn’t sugarcoat it i guess...

I just vomited a little in reaction to this.

"Mothers know this is a wholesome combination"

I think it still had LSD in it

I’ll pass.

Imagine that. Add sugar to something and a kid will eat/drink it. Revolutionary.

Kinda similar to a root beer float maybe?

It probably doesn't taste nearly as bad as you'd think.

Mmmm, wholesome.

Remember Laverne and Shirley, when Laverne drank Milk and Pepsi?

Having just read this, I am on my way home to try it. Got to stop by the market to pick up the ingredients and I will let you know what I find out.

Who's going first ?

"Mothers know that this is a wholesome combination" ...and mothers know best 😜

Doesn't sound tasty.

(I may have unknowingly tried this as a kid.) In my mind I got an image of a guy in boxers, hungover, and looking for leftover party food in the fridge.

Laverne made milk and Pepsi remember that?

l guess not that different to ice cream and soft drink in spiders (ice cream floats to Americans)

🤮

Hm. Well. I don't suppose it can be THAT different from an ice cream float?

Laverne on Laverne & Shirley drank Milk & Pepsi. I think I'd rather have that.

Coke and cream, Pepsi and milk

Like a melted creamsicle.

Interesting fact: up till 1948 7-up contaied Lithium citrate, Coke contained cocaine. I had always thought the Un-cola part of the ad was for lack of caffine, and color...seems there was more to it.

Milk and Pepsi like Penny Marshall's character Laverne drank on Laverne and Shirley.

At the time this was written, 7up contained a considerable amount of lithium citrate, which has been long known to act as a mood altering drug. Used with a lot of people with mental illness. It was removed from the drink by 1948, but you could still get 7up with it well into the mid 1950's as back stock was worked through.

Our mom gave us this as kids, except that she used Canada Dry ginger ale (which would be less lemony-limey).

Mmm, carbonated 7-up poured into dairy - love me those milk chunks.

People don't bat an eyelash at italian soda (flavoured, sweetened carbonated beverage with cream added), but cringe at this and 'milk and pepsi'... Root Beer floats are a think, Coke and Cream's a thing... perhaps try it. I know it's different, but Dr. Pepper milkshakes are fantastic.

I grew up on the 1950's. This is amazing. What Ad man thought up this combination abomination.

Basically a 7UP float.

I'm I the only one a bit curious as to the end result? Not saying it would be tasty/healthy or visually pleasing but I am curious 🤔

My mom put a little ginger ale in our milk.

Like Laverne DeFazio's Pepsi and milk 🤮

I used to love milk & Dr. Pepper

Wouldn’t it curdle? Or at least thicken? Well I guess there ain’t THAT much citrus in those things

So I looked this up, and apparently it's very popular in south asia? Similar to lassi. https://www.eater.com/2017/6/20/15793584/doodh-soda-doodh-7up-milk-pakistan

🤢

I rememeber drinking this as a kid

we prepare cherry cola with condensed milk here.
