This. We eventually got a cheaper "soda syphon" but it wasn't the same and didn't make coca cola...
Ugh, 70s dentists drills.....seemed to be powered by a hamster wheel, black belts trundling round as the drill made your whole head vibrate......

The worst thing about the dentist is you didn't have a choice. It was like walking to the electric chair. Mum said you are going to be drilled in the head whether you like it or not. I didn't enjoy those particular days!

I was a teenager in the 70s, reading this thread reminded me of my parents drinks cabinet. My mum had a bottle of some clear foreign spirit (no idea what it was, but it looked like water), I drank some and topped it up with water ... the contents went white .... my dad got the blame

I think it probably was Pastis, but God knows where my mum got it from. I don't think she had a passport until the 80s

Yeah but if you mixed it with water it white. (It's Greek, there's a Turkish version, Raki)

this thread is giving me flash-backs
my friend's brother used to cut the ladies in underwear out of old catalogues and stick them in a scrapbook
remember finding a packet on cigarettes on a coach, 3 of us smoked the lot, I was so sick it put me off for life

That was similar to the beginning and end of my smoking habit. A few of us found a full pack of Woodbines when we at a scout camp when I was about 15. Smoked some of them, felt awful, never had one since.

Sambuca? It was the height of sophistication to add a couple of coffee beans, set light to it, then blow it out and drink it.
It was also the height of stupidity as I lost count of the amount of my parents friends who left it to flame too long and burnt their lips on the glass. Berks.
