On the other hand, of course, you will never know the joys of the one true softdrink: L&P!!! Yay, L&P!

> Paeroa is a very, very small nothing of a town in the middle of the North Island of NZ. In the old days it was famous for a mineral water spring and they used to bottle and sell "Paeroa water". L&P is the great NZ soft drink. It hasn't been made in Paeroa for fifty years, it doesn't taste like lemon, and for all I know it doesn't even have any Paeroa water in it. Tastes good, though.

Hi Guys, Just tried your N.Z. L&P drink, here in Melbourne Australia. I must say its different!!!
The only thing i can compere it with is lemon lime and bitters, only not as nice. It has a similiar after taste to Chinotto an italian cola soft drink. A slightly bitter after taste.
But thanks for clearing up what paeroa was. T
