Ahh! The tastes of a quintessential Irish childhood — Wibbly Wobbly Wonders (frozen jelly ice pops), Banshee Bones (salt and vinegar flavoured corn snacks) and Mikados (rectangular biscuits topped with marshmallow and jelly). All of these, and more, were unique to Ireland, and one of the most iconic of these is Football Special. Football Special is a soft drink produced by McDaid’s Bottling Company, originally located in Ramelton, Co Donegal.
Soft drinks or sodas are often referred to colloquially as ‘minerals’ in Ireland..
