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!

Yes Cindy the ice crusher still works. Unfortunately the cup that is supposed to snap on to the bottom and catch the ice is missing. It has a name on the top that says Magic Hostess. Maybe I can find a replacement cup in an antique store or something. Up until now nobody I’ve talked to remembers Bennetts Fix A Drink. Except for my sister. All the flavors smelled and tasted so good. Root Beer was my favorite though.

I am so glad that there are a few of us out here in the world that do remember! The ice crusher sounds cool! Is it still usable? Thanks for commenting!
