Top Deck was a low alcohol shandy drink available in a variety of flavours and marketed to children in the United Kingdom from the 1960s to the 1980s. It was a brand of the Beecham Group until 1986 when it was sold along with the more popular brand Tango, along with the UK franchises for Pepsi and 7-Up, to Britvic. It is believed that Top Deck ceased to exist in the mid 1990s. The 1990s rock band Nirvana were reported to have had Top Deck on their rider for an appearance on The Word.
Famous quotes containing the words top and/or deck:
“Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of the Law. The people assembled; Mahomet called the hill to come to him again and again; and when the hill stood still, he was never a whit abashed, but said, If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“And deck the bananas in leaves
Plucked from the Carib trees,
Fibrous and dangling down,
Oozing cantankerous gum
Out of their purple maws....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
