solunamor Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 for more than a month, i cannot buy my favorite drink anywhere. i checked 10 stores. villa market staff told me they ordered it, but schweppes in bkk has "no product to ship". i tried to contact schweppes, but there is no website for thailand (only europe). frankly i am a schweppes manao addict and i NEED it soon. help! all the stores are full of 99 kinds of soft drinks...but not the only one i want to buy. did schweppes stop production? if so, is it temporary of forever? any explanations or news or insights?

Shot Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Also one of my favorites. I checked Lotus and two 7-11s yesterday and they had none. I did find a few cans at a mom and pop shop, bought them all, and am enjoying one right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Also one of my favorites. I checked Lotus and two 7-11s yesterday and they had none. I did find a few cans at a mom and pop shop, bought them all, and am enjoying one right now. "How to make friends and get respect in Shot's way" I tried to add salt to the injury by trying to find an picture of someone pouring the very soda to the ground. Failed to find one. Instead this TV Hua Hin thread came on top of Google search. People are desperately trying to find the soda. On the positive side, there was information how to make the soda in home. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/724375-no-more-green-cans-of-schweppes-soda-manao/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 My local mom and pop has a new batch, as well as a place I frequent in Karon had some. Last week neither place had any, so new stocks are in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Try this Indian recipe and you'll never go back to the Schweppes version. Squeeze one manow into a tall glass full of ice. Add some sugar syrup. Pour in some Singha soda. Now the important bit. Add a sprinkling of salt to taste. Authentic Nimbu Pani. Yum.

fredlk Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've also run out, but the Est Lemon & Lime which seems to have taken its place, is a good enough substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Shortage? What shortage? I'm drinking one right now and bought 12 more from 7/11 this morning..... (but I'm not saying which 7/11!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkt83100 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 How can someone be a fan of this sugar water? Does it come with insulin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdwarf1 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It is available in Pattaya. Come to Sin City and buy. Was not available for a while a few months ago since they were changing the configuration of the can. But now is plentiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMeTOM Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Had the same problem in the sticks. Places that would sell single cans, all of a sudden would run out of them almost at the same time, so went to the big Tesco Lotus (not a the small Lotus Express), and found them again, but they would only sell them in a pack of 6 cans. Otherways, just buy some Bicarbonate of Soda (look in the shelf where they sell flour and all the pastry ingredients, it just cost around 15 bahts for load of it), then buy some lemons/limes of your choice, or just some Citric Acid which is the "main ingredient" of your lemons/limes, add some water,sugar, whatever else to suit your own taste and you have an even better drink right there.....and cheaper!

solunamor Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 thanks for all the responses except for the useless irrelevant one from hkt83100. now the specific Q is: where to buy Schw manao here in phuket today? (i dont want to make my own, but i will keep these recipes for extreme contingencies....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 They had it in Villa, Chalong, on Friday. Might have all gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honoluabay Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Saiyon road there is a small stock near the sugar palms resort. Pink mini mart has at least 6 more cans after I took some. Only place here in Rawai. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMeTOM Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 i have seen a new drink on the shelf of the Tesco Lotus Express a few days ago, i gave it a try and it just taste as a watered Schweppes lime you are looking for, the name is "Kickapoo".
