Eiffel Tower Lemonade Crystals Drink
Foster Clark Ltd. was the drinks company in Maidstone, Kent that produced this drink. The bottles were very distinctive and are sold today as vintage. They were presumed to hold liquid crystals rather than drinking liquid.

I found an old empty glass bottle of Eiffel Tower Lemonade (Crystals) in the garden of my last cottage in Sompting.
Strangely enough, it is also printed with Meidstone. Is this a former spelling for Maidstone, Kent or might it be the engraver's error? Does it help to date it?

Amazing what you can find by googling! I looked this up after telling my boys about my granny's kitchen - she had one of those stand alone units with the flap down enamelled work tops and petal-shaped adjustable vents. On a high shelf she had a small bottle of Eiffel tower lemonade crystals, which she sometimes let me taste, though I don't remember her ever making lemonade - I think she used them to make lemon meringue pie. That would have been early 1960s. Great to find other folks memories.

I can remember drinking this as recently as 1974, so production must have carried on for some years after the Fosters closure. The final bottle as I remember it was cylindrical in shape, with a large screw cap. Lovely stuff.

I remember Eiffel Tower Lemonade very well. We were not allowed it at our house for some reason, but my next-door-neighbours used to drink it and I always hoped I would be offered it. It was so much nicer than squash! I seem to remember that it tasted very similar to the drink I made with lemon sherbert crystals, which are still available, so those hankering after a trip down memory lane could try that and report back as to whether they agree that it is similar.

I'm so glad to see that other people also remember this wonderful drink from my childhood. I have never tasted a lemonade to equal it, and often think how nice it would be to re-experience on a hot summer day!
It was made by a Co called Foster Clark - if only someone still has the recipe and would come forward with it.

In the Midlands we sometimes referred to lemonade crystals as Kali/khali?
Does anyone else remember using this name?
I am thinking back to the 40's?
I loved it (still do) and often had the 'giveaway' yellow forefinger, but now I use a spoon.

Last year, while helping to restore Gough's Orchard Lock in Stroud, I found a very small, square section bottle moulded with "Tower Lemonade" (no sign of the word Eiffel) i a heap of spoil excavated from the lock chamber. It still has its somewhat corroded metal lid on, and contains a completely clear, colourless liquid. It had been buried in spoil for who knows how many years (the lock was last used in about 1930 but filled in progressively ever since).
