J.A.S.O.N. Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Anyone remember, or used to drink the soft drink? I haven't been able to find this in Galveston for several years now, and I'm wondering if there is anywhere in Houston that still sells it?

Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Anyone remember, or used to drink the soft drink? I haven't been able to find this in Galveston for several years now, and I'm wondering if there is anywhere in Houston that still sells it? Oh my goodness. I used to drink that stuff when i was a kid, teen years. We used it in trash can punch along with everclear :) Try shopping at Fiesta stores or Foodland or Foodarama, you may be able to find it there.

Heights2Bastrop Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 In 1985, I was on my way back from a business trip to Randolph Field. Just before I got back on I-10, I stopped at a grocery/gas station to get something to drink for the trip back. To my amazement, and profound pleasure, there in the soft drink case was Hires Root Beer, one of my all time favorite beverages. I hadn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heights2Bastrop Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Coca-Cola owns Delaware Punch, and the concentrate is available for purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUREKA ! I beleive all JCIs have Delaware Punch. I got one last time I was there about 6 months ago. I have since quit eating at JCI, or it would have come to me sooner. The one on Mason Rd. and Kingsland sells it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I'm wondering if there is anywhere in Houston that still sells it?I know they still sell it at KG Food Center at 7302 Tierwester. I bought some a few weeks ago for kicks...and had pretty much the same experience as Heights2Bastrop. I used to love Delaware Punch, and hadn't had one in probably close to 20 years. That first swig was nasty...and so was the second and third...I didn't get to a fourth.However, my wife finished the bottle for me, and went on a Delaware Punch kick for a couple weeks. To me, drinking it for the first time in 20 years, the drink struck me as an uncarbonated, overconcentrated bunch of syrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashikaga Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I LOVE Delaware Punch! I haven't had that in years!!Yes, I remember Delaware Punch. It was somewhat more syrupy than Hawaiian Punch. I also remember something similar made by Canada Dry called Tahitian Treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escapee Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Oh my goodness. I used to drink that stuff when i was a kid, teen years. We used it in trash can punch along with everclear :) Try shopping at Fiesta stores or Foodland or Foodarama, you may be able to find it there. Oh, make it stop! Just thinking about trash can punch makes me want to hurl. I lived at the Coswald Village Apartments at the Monroe Exit off the Gulf Freeway. One of the neighbors had a big party where they had a brand new trash can, lots of punch, and the "admission" was a bottle of something clear. There was gin, Everclear, rum, vodka and had pieces of fruit floating in it. Man, was that ever tasty. Somehow, I made it back to my own place and woke up the next morning on my waterbed in terrible shape. Especially when I moved and the bed did too. Must have been the metal from the trash can. How did I live thru times like that? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
