Shorty my father working for Tunbridge Jones in Basingstoke. During my school holidays I would go to work with him on the lorry and clean the warehouse. I remember with wooden crates and the splinters, no gloves in those days.

Yes, great drink. We used to have in what was Rhodesia and I actually have 2 empty bottles on a shelf in my study. Wow, that goes back many years.

I used to work for a soft drinks firm called Tunbridge Jones Ltd, in Reading in the 70's. We used to sell it. It used to come in small wooden creates, and was a nightmare to stack and move around on the old sack barrows! Great to drink though!!!!

Hi there. I picked up a shard of a bottle with a Hubbly Bubbly logo on it which was apparently bottled in East London. This I picked up while exploring in a section of our town Tsumeb, in Namibia, where once used to be very old houses in the 1960 -1970's. These of course no longer exist, one can only discern some of the foundations of these dwellings. I tried to look up on the internet to see if I could find out what the complete bottle looked like and came across all your comments here.
Rikus, you mentioned that you had dug up an old bottle of Hubbly Bubbly, would you by any chance have a photo of this that I could see?
ronmitch you also mentioned having a bottle. Perhaps one of you would be able to let me see what the bottles looked like?

If the HUBBLY BUBBLY everybody refers to, is the HUBBLY BUBBLY that I knew from the West Rand, we are doing some research on the cold drink. It was bottled in Carolina Mpumalanga, SA by Carolina Mineral Waters. We have just acquired a carbonating machine that was used in the factory. It is a COROPACT NO 8 manufactured by BARNETT&FOSTER LONDON N Can anybody give us some information regarding this machine or the brand? Leon Dormehl e-mail leon.dormehl@gmail.com

My company, Dayla soft drinks (Midlands) Ltd bottled Hubbly Bubbly from 1961 until it was superceded by other brands in the 1970s. We distributed it throughout the West Midlands and beyond. It was originally a South African Franchise which was extended to the UK and distributed at one time by some 20 companies in England and also in Scotland and briefly in Northern Ireland. The flavours were Cola, Pineapple, Orange, Lemon/Lime and Strawberry Cream Soda. It had a high glucose content. Very popular everywhere with children especially. Dudley Zoo was a great outlet.

I remember Hubbly Bubbly, it was like no drink around today, very soft smooth bubbles - it was so good it was almost addictive. We used to buy it in The Angel pub in High Wycombe in 1969 for 1/6 (one shilling and six pence) that's seven and a half pence in today's money. My favourite was strawberry, but my friend liked lime flavour. By 1970 it had disappeared. They were great days.

Wow, how lovely to read all these memories! Mine are all in the back of my parents car, parked in various pub carparks in the Newbury area of Berkshire while the adults were allowed in to the pub! Offered a refreshment it was always "lime Hubbly Bubbly please". If I was lucky I'd also get a packet of crisps. Lonely days.

I remember it too. It came in many flavours and we drank it at Lower Hyde Caravan Park. The bottles were wicked! Also remember the boating lake at Sandown. Does anyone remember the American Cottage in the American Woods?
