Yes, Johnstown is where I and my family are from. We loved all the flavors! Thanks for commenting, Ann!

I grew up in Johnstown, PA and my grandma used to make orange fix a drink. Every Sunday we had family dinners at Gram’s it was our treat. My cousin called it “THAT”–don’t know why, but it stuck. “More “THAT” please” was a frequent request. Now it’s a pleasant memory. I recently happened upon Mio’s orange tangerine drink additive and it brought “THAT” to mind. Enjoy!

I just looked it up and found a place that the company went outta biz in 2002. I have looked for it many times as well. I grew up in Elkridge, my dearly beloved was in Pimlico and then Towson. He never had it, but my brother and I guzzled so much that I can’t believe they ever went under! I wonder if sugar, additives and new rules from our FDA ruined them.

Do I remember Bennett’s fix-a-drink, boy do I. I thought magically that I would be commensated for it, having Bennett as my maiden name and just being a little child at the time. My eldest sister and I just had this conversation on 12/31/11 and the other good things we remember while growing up in the 700 blk. of Fairmount Avenue in Baltimore, Md. The taste was out of this world for me to remember it as being an adult now in my 50′s. I wish I could purchase it today.

I loved Root Beer flavored, too! We had an ice crusher, too. Ours was a snowman to make snow cones! I had totally forgotten about it until this conversation with you! Funny!
