I have just picked up some Dandelion and Burdock cans in our local supermarket here in Christies Beach, Adelaide! Haven't had that that since 1964!!
It tasted exactly how I remember it ( I think!) I just dont understand why it turned up here all of a sudden!
Today D&B, tomorrow Uncle Joes!
Must be a mis-directed order or something, anyway I liked it.
Cheers
Kev

Remember the pop man coming round in the late 50's. My favourite was dandelion and burdock which came in a stone bottle. 😋

\Kevan That brings back memories. The Pop man.

Dandelion and burdock originally fermented. (alcoholic) A form of root-beer. (Sumbdy found a good use for weeds. )

Both dandelion and burdock strong diuretics so it has enjoyed a long reputation as a health drink, particularly substituting for sarsaparilla after one of the ingredients of the latter shown to be carcinogenic.

But, here is what Wiki has to say:

"The "dandelion and burdock" drink for sale in many retail outlets rarely contains either plant. The retail drink is often carbonated, containing artificial sweeteners and flavourings. Some supermarkets sell the drink with "real plant extracts" with a more faithful flavour than the ones made with artificial flavourings

Fentimans, a beverage company based in the United Kingdom, offers a version of the naturally brewed dandelion and burdock drink, containing extracts of both plants (although its main ingredients are sugar and pear juice concentrate).

The last of the UK's original temperance bars, Fitzpatrick's in Rawtenstall, which opened in 1890, still produces its dandelion and burdock to an original recipe brought over from Ireland at the end of the 19th century."
