I read recently that in Brisbane the supermarkets were seriously thinking about getting people to make a deposit on trolleys since they keep going missing. I remember when they introduced this in the UK, must be 20 years ago

Ditto PeteY & MM, cherry coke was here years ago, tasted horrible so no-one drank it. Its been brought back now, probably in the hope that some of the people coming to live here might like it. Theres no accounting for taste sometimes
If having CCTV (because crime is so bad) is the way you judge whether a country is "behind the times" or not, then I'd rather be behind, thanx anyway

Might be a marketing ploy or somthing. Cherry cokes been over there for ages. Asked the wife, and she can remember it from school too, so they've had it for at least 10 years or so.

I was going to say this as well. I remember it as a kid. Maybe it got phased out (I can't remember it being very popular) and they have now decided to try and reintroduce on the back of Vanilla Coke etc???

As a Brisbane-ite I can tell you Cherry Coke was around in the 80's but got pulled due to poor sales.
Dr Pepper was released in the 90's and that was not well received and too disappeared off the market for a few years.
Dr Pepper was released again in the late 90's and has found a market..I think it's revolting and tastes like cough medicine I had as a child.
They released lemon diet coke last year in Oz which was a massive hit, and then Vanilla coke which everyone I know loves !
Now Cherry Coke has been re-released...
me..I like the original coke! aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Just in case anybody didn't see the thread on 'Diet' drinks in Australia, I've posted the link below. Remember, this is'nt just about 'Diet' drinks, this sweetner is used in lots of 'normal' drinks and foods as well.
