My other REALLY big disappointment? - in the 50s my mother had a friend in the States who used to send loads of glossy magazines. There were 3 things advertised that I really wanted to try - Campbell's Tomato Rice Soup, V8 vegetable juice, and 7-up. Tried the first two when they eventually arrived over here - great! Still love V8.

However - having waited a year or two more for 7-up, I finally got my hot little paws on the coveted can - it was just weak lemonade! Ugh! Never got over it - I haven't trusted the Americans since!
