Hmm, read the last paragraph of this article - is it completely impartial? 81.174.133.150 22:28, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Rubbish, source cited is a 64 page childrens book, removed the paragraph as such.
The cite is from a non existant page! Page 193 does not exist in a 64 page book!
PLEASE STOP REVERTING THE CHANGE! I AM REMOVING INCORRECT, UNVERIFIED RUBBISH!
Took 'airfix glue' out of the ingredients list since this is quite blatantly taking the mick; and indeed tesco.com does not list this particular unpleasant chemical additive among the list of such (requires sign-in) in its version of the drink. Larkascending 20:01, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Also, what exactly is "manloid"? There is no record of it anywhere on the internet except in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.71.76.139 ( talk) 03:57, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Are there any particular regions where the drink is more popular? I recall it being pretty widely available in Somerset back in the day (the '90s :) ). I never see it in Ireland though. -- Zilog Jones 22:38, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Not sure if they are still around - but, for several decades, there was a firm in Middlesbrough called Lowcock's that originally delivered various fizzy drinks to your door on a lorry - subsequently, you had to get them from shops - they sold a lot of drinks: lemonade, cherryade, limeade, cream soda and orangeade were quite popular, but dandelion and burdock was about the most popular line from Lowcock's!
When you got them from the shops in Grangetown, however, the shops would put their unique stamp on it - this meant that you had to return them to the shop you bought it from (you could get money back on the empty bottles) - the shops would examine every bottle we brought in and would say, "That's not ours, that's not ours" and so on - even when we knew where they were bought!

No idea why the subject popped into my head but upon reading the article I have to say I don't understand the taste comparisons. D&B was my favourite pop growing up. I remember watching Radar drinking sarsaparilla on M.A.S.H. and being completely gobsmacked when, on my first visit to Boston, I sought out "the best" place to try a good one. I thought it was a joke because it tasted so much like the nasty mouth wash from the UK dentist. I don't have any qualification as a taster but IMHO they're completely dissimilar. 71.54.192.245 ( talk) 21:38, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
First time I tried sarsaparilla, it took me a while to realise what it tasted like - only after drinking several mouthfuls, I realised what it tasted like - dandelion and burdock - it was only the lack of fizz in the sarsaparilla that made me forget what it was - just add soda to sarsaparilla and you get dandelion and burdock!

I would be curious to know the history of D&B as a popular drink in temperance houses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iantnm ( talk • contribs) 10:33, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
What's the source of that data? I assume this soft drink contains quite some sugar/syrup and surely not "less than 0.1 g carbohydrates", therefore more than 2 kcal per .33 litres. -- 91.32.178.243 ( talk) 11:56, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Apparently, beer can also be made. -- Trevj ( talk) 15:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
The original link returned a 404. The one I added works and I suspects points at the same content, but is really designed to be displayed in a html frame. Not sure it adds much value to the article. Cafuego ( talk) 05:22, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
While on vacation in South Africa I was alerted to the existence of this brand. After locating a store that carried it, I immediately purchased this flavor. Should this be included in the "Imitations and variants" section?

Is there any way we could prove or disprove this claim? -- 108.20.184.19 ( talk) 05:37, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
The second paragraph (or first section after lede, whatever you want to call it), that starts out rather confusingly with "The main ingredient of those other drinks...". What other drinks? What's been removed, or have the sections been shuffled etc? 80.189.129.252 ( talk) 21:23, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
@ Revirvlkodlaku: I'm not insisting on there being more than one image. But the current image in the infobox just isn't a great one. One good image of one whole, uncropped, container would suffice. (Aside, I do notice that Sarsaparilla has multiple well composed images to illustrate the different variants of the drink). -- D'n'B- t -- 14:11, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
