Fosko and Carre' Cola were both mentioned in the 1908 President's Home Commission Report on adulterated soft drinks. Attachment (1) (in reply to Dragon0421) Post #: 3

Descendants of the original owners tried to revive the brand about ten years ago and made a few small batches. I may still have a bottle or two around here somewhere. It was a fruit-flavored drink similar to the Budwine I had a chance to taste before it was discontinued. Attachment (1) (in reply to celerycola) Post #: 4

In my opinion anyway. _____________________________ s plante Will buy,or trade for Rhode Island ACL bottles (in reply to Dragon0421) Post #: 7

RE: bantam and fosko acl bottles from bama - 12/30/2011 12:13:40 AM    wonkapete   Posts: 601 Joined: 4/5/2007 From: Mobile, AL Status: offline There are about about 8 or 10 different Fosko bottles.  The bottle you have is fairly common around Mobile.  It would bring about $10 at the bottle shows around here. Fosko's decedents live here in Mobile and, as Dennis said, have tried to bring it back several times over the past few  years.  The problem is distribution.  They can't get a distributor in Mobile.  I have some of the drinks from a few years ago too.  Tasted similar to Cheerwine.  I wrote a thorough history on it a few years for the Soda Spectrum.  Check it out.  http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=1352666760#!/photo.php?fbid=1333667545742&set=a.1188561078171.2029575.1352666760&type=3&theater (in reply to splante) Post #: 8
