bitter kas

[skyeman]

very popular soft drink in Spain... anyone know where it can be bought in the UK?

[paul3vanz]

isn't kas, the same as fanta over here in the uk? it might be another brand, but i'm sure the bottles look the same.

No, this is a foul red concoction in small glass bottles, made I believe by PepsiCo, and my wife for some reason loves it!

I've been looking for it myself on the web to no avail. I can get it however from a spanish delicatessen in portabello road, london called "Garcia". They are 60p a bottle and they sometimes have them in 330ml cans for 70p. If by any chance you find an online supplier then let me know as my wife loves the stuff too!

My family and I too became addicted to the Bitter Kas soft drink whilst in Spain last summer (2003)best drunk as cold a possible ie straght out of the freezer as it does not seem to freeze solid till several degrees below zero. We bought ours from the local supermarkets in Antequerra,one of which was a LIDL so when we returned over here with half a dozen tins I enquired at one of the local Lidls to see if they also stocked it in England,which they didn`t, However if we start E-mailing/write them perhaps they might trial in for the British Market! Their web site is www.lidl.co.uk and then you never know we can enjoy the taste of drinkable TCP over here as well! dave flint

The funny thing is a family friend of mine who is half spanish tells me that Tesco used to stock it about 4-5 years ago, but stopped probably due to how unpopular it was. He's told me to keep an eye on a company. They are a spanish deli and stock all sorts of foods and bevi's. The best thing of all is if they do stock them or can get them, they do mail order. They are currently refurbishing and I dropped them and e-mail earlier so I will report any findings. Oh.. their site is http://www.entreamigos.co.uk

just e-mailed entreamigos too, just for good measure... next stop e-mailing lidl(!)

I've not had an answer from them so far. I hate that :(

Hey! I too am a-looking for Kas! Has anybody tried using the variety of rare soda websites on Google? I've only got one anda half litres after my trip to France, help! It's nothing like Fanta, trust me, except now it's in fanta-like plastic bottles and cans, and in orange, lemon and citron flavours (i've yet to see bitter Kas lol). Thanks for the freezer tip tho, should kep those orange bits nice and cool, i'll be back!
