in the 70s, Food of the Seventies

Comments left:	I'd just like to answer the questions of when Hoffman's went out of business. I was born in '81 & had this exquisite soda every time my sister & I visited my grandmother (Long Island) as a child. She bought it by the case & it came w/ all the flavors (assuming from the beverage center). So I can confidently say this was made well into the mid 80's believe it or not. People seem to think it was discontinued in the 60's or 70's which is such a shame since they still used the same quality formulas & even the same packaging which I remember clearly & loved dearly. I've actually had someone say that she must've stocked up when they went out of business in the 70's (not true!). What's more is how many great flavors they had at that point, the case included so many. I remember Black Cherry (which was likely my favorite), Cream (which was my sister's & the best cream soda I've ever had), Lemon-Lime, I believe Orange & Grape..maybe Root Beer? I feel like there were more. All in one case. It was so fun as a kid we got to pick a different flavor each time & we never had soda otherwise. Nor did I ever care about soda, even to this day with the exception of Hoffman's. I long for it & feel lucky that at 34 years old I can be part of the discussion of the greatest soda ever made that I just happened to catch the tail end of. Not common for a product that people remember from the 40's, 50's & 60's! Bring it back please!
