Promised we…wouldn’t cry.

A SOFT drink made from a secret recipe that has been enjoyed for over 50 years by a select few is about to be launched nationwide.

Outside of north Donegal, few people have even heard of McDaid’s Football Special, a cola-style frothy drink which is synonymous with Ramelton, the small heritage town where it is made.

But owner Edward McDaid plans to take Football Special into the soft drinks premiership.

“It is a strange product in many senses. Whatever it is about it, it seems to hit a memory button and conjure up pleasant memories of childhood, even with people who haven’t tasted it before,” he explained.

“The fruit syrup flavours that are used are all fairly common and shouldn’t belong together but they do,” he said.

Yum.

If it’s anything like our childhood it should taste like blood, dry bread and salty tears..

Note: Also available in banana flavour.

“Mark O’Broin from Glasheen was removed from Cork City Hall by Gardai and, he claims, Fianna Fáil party members, for what he says was a peaceful protest [attempting to bring his mocked-up posters bring into the count centre] and “a bit of craic.”

He told the Cork Independent he is protesting at people voting in the same politicians who have got the country where it is today
“The country is down the tubes and everyone is still voting in the same shower of idiots, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, that got us here.”
