"I have been down memory
lane with a friend of mine who also worked at knowles. We remember some of the
names of some soft drinks like Danelion and Burdock, (maybe this was the one
Dr Pepper reminds you of) Sarspaella, Cream Soda, Coke, Limeade,
Lemonade, and i'm sure there were more. We also used to bottle vinegar,it used
to come in a large barrel and it was concentrated, we used to add water (sorry
can't remember the amounts) then bottle.Whenever i use vinegar it reminds of
Knowles."- letter from Jean Game.
