Anyone ever heard of this stuff?

The thread about homebrewing got me to thinking about something off topic.

One evening back in march of 1994 I was in our basement hunting around in our old fridge. Amongst things I found was a bottle of this stuff called "lake breeze". It had all settled out and this stuff had been sitting in that fridge since at least 1975. Anyways I figured what the heck. I went upstairs and procured a bottle opener and drank this stuff down.

Tasted kind of like lemon-line soda, only a bit sweeter, and it was uncarbonated. I didn't get sick or die from it so I know it was bad or anything like.

But anyways, has anyone here ever heard of this stuff. I can only find vauge refrences to it on the internet.

i've never heard of that. Did it have any information about the company that made it?

Are you sure you didn't down something like after shave??

I've read about it on the Internet.

Okay check out these links as possible Lake Breeze drinks-

This drink was at its height, durring the Hippie Days.

It was highly distilled essence of amanita muscaria ! !! You're lucky you didn't trip out ! !!

It might have been a brand name for a mixer like Tom Collin's mix which is sweet and lemon limey in flavor

I have no idea who made it, there was no information on the bottle that I could recall. The bottle itself from what I remember had "lake breeze" printed on it in an offset manner and seagull below it. There may have been some outlining on the bottle too.

I saw this stuff again at the seven mile fair flea market on July 16, 2002, so it wasn't a rare thing.

I do have a hunch though that it might be a local or regional thing, then again I could be wrong. I remember way back in the early 80's as a little kid drinking bubble up and seeing the signs on almost every bar in town thinking the same thing only to find out different many years later.
