Welcome aboard the A-BN "Does anyone know?" escalator. Are you perhaps thinking of Milde?
"A unique bottle that says its name is "Milde", with attractive embossing adorns my shelves with the rest. It also says it is a product of "Coca-Cola Bottling Company", and says it comes from "Jackson, MO"." From.
These were bottled about 30 miles from here.
The Milde's owned the Coke franchise back them.
Man. I remember it as being the BEST cream soda back in the day.
I was drinking it in my pre-teen years at the local gas station/quick shop.
Try to picture the days before conveinence stores. Full service gas station, candy,
soda, burgers, chips and more. Yeah, sounds like a C-store but the word did not exist in the late 1960s early 70s. And it was a gathering place for the old men to shoot the s**t.
Wish I could live those days again!!
