UTTER TRiViA: Old Jamaica Ginger Beer

I used to enjoy this, occasionally.

I’m not a great fan of fizzy or canned drinks. But I did notice that I no longer saw the above Ginger Beer, in our local shops or supermarkets any more. Which is a shame, as it’s one of the only canned fizzy drinks I kind of liked!

I googled ‘old Jamaica ginger beer’, to find out what’s up. And got the following contradictory results:

Looks fairly clear/official.

So, the above is on a website with the registered domain name, oldjamaicagingerbeer.com. It looks both official and categorical. But I could find no dates. And there’s so much fakery online… who knows?

I also found this:

On Reddit.

Admittedly that’s on Reddit, which seems to be a cesspool of drivel, by and large. But when I search for the product itself, it does seem to be available. And that includes from all the places – Tesco, Sainsburys, etc. – that I couldn’t find it myself, in store. It’s also online, via Amazon, etc.

Most perplexing. And gassy… 🫧
