With that edge, they can compete with mainstream global brands, even without the TV commercials.Rob Fecklerhttp://www.fillingequipment.com/bottling-machine.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-27122623901540677132009-10-31T15:49:10.381+11:002009-10-31T15:49:10.381+11:00Sounds like Chandler's was before my time (and...Sounds like Chandler's was before my time (and I used to go to Mannum all the time to play soccer), but I find you can recreate some of the excitement of the pre-consolidation era of the soft drink industry by going to an Asian grocery and choosing something at random out of the fridge.
