This was in the late '60s and early '70s ('though I'm unsure of exactly when it started or finished), and it came in a variety of flavours. It seems to have disappeared in the '70s and I never saw it again - until, that is, the mid-'80s, when I saw it in the cafeteria of a motorway service station on my way down to London. It was served at the counter from a dispensing pump, not bottles as it had once been, but only in orange flavour. I'd love to know if it still exists.
