minus-squareA_norny_mousse@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoDidn’t know that was an actual brand; in my youth it was a colloquial name for a 50/50 mix of coke and orange lemonade. Another name was diesel.
minus-squareA_norny_mousse@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoDid not know that it could be that, too. Maybe my childhood’s Diesel was just an underage suitable version.
