Back in 1999, John Burnett identified a ‘phenomenal' rise in the number of soft drinks consumed in the UK in the 30 years before his ground breaking study, Liquid Pleasures - A social History of Drinks in Modern Britain, hit all good book shelves. Although many commercial sugar-based beverages were first developed around the mid-to late nineteenth century, it was not until the 1960s and the initial mass popularity of Coca Cola that cold, non-alcoholic, bottled drinks really took hold. By 1995 around 20% of all drinks bought in this country were soft drinks, he said. Not bad for a nation of confirmed tea lovers. This, according to Burnett, represented a ‘cold drinks revolution' comparable to the ‘hot beverages revolution' of the late 17th century when Britain first began importing tea.
