    I wrote to Bickford Cordials and their reply shocked me!


    I’m getting the hang of these click baity titles!

    I wrote them to tell them I love their products. In particular the Mango and Coconut flavour. I asked if they planned a no sugar version. They told me….i can’t believe this…there is no plan because Mango and Coconut is not one of their top sellers.

    This can’t be real. Surely there are more of my Mango and Coconut Bickfords cordial people out there?

    Edit: I forgot to mention they were super nice. It was a great interaction.

      mango and coconut is the best one they make, no contest. honestly surprised it’s not flying off shelves. the lemon lime bitters crowd must be running the numbers

      I’m a raspberry girl myself but did branch out and get their lemon, lime and orange one to try. Full sugar though. I bought a sugar free raspberry once and it was not good.

      I’m sorry I think you are wrong. It’s either lemon, or lime cordial that are their best

      Write back questioning their stats and demand a redraw and another reply. Become pen pals. Send a picture of your dog.

      Can’t believe none of you heathens have mentioned the ginger beer yet, come on. Although that strawberry lime one was ace, just like drinking Rekorderlig except I can have it at work.

      But yeah coconut’s always a pretty divisive flavour with people I know, they either hate it or don’t mind it.

      I wrote to them when the no sugar peach tea disappeared- they got rid of it because nobody was buying it! Lovely response but unfortunately not the one I wanted.

      A shot of mango/coconut cordial, with a wedge of lime, a shot of vodka and soda water is by far my favourite summer drink.

      HANDS OFF MY SWEET SWEET SUGAR.

      No. We must stop the march of the fake sugar. It’s in EVERYTHING.

      I can’t drink over half of any regularly available soft drinks anymore, cordial is out unless I choose Bickfords but the range in my shop is limited.

      It’s in slurpees.

      It’s in most choccy milks.

      It’s in most off the shelf Korean and Japanese ingredients.

      Please for the love of my bowels and tastebuds please, leave me with some dignity and choice.

      But seriously can we just give people the option to go full sugar or artificial? I can’t stand any artificial or “natural” sweeteners. They taste metallic, excessively sweet much sweeter than cane sugar and in not a good way, and many of them make my stomach and airbrush and the toilet bowl my canvas.

      I don’t drink sweet stuff much anymore. But when I do I would like more than Solo and Coke as my options.

      Please 😭

      I haven’t tried the cordial, but I always have Bickfords Cherry juice in the fridge. It’s made from concentrate from Turkey. Every bottle I get has subtle variations in taste. At $6.50 a litre bottle it’s expensive for fruit juice but cheap for cherry juice. I like to think it’s good for my arthritis and helps me sleep.

      Get it. You won’t regret it. The persimmon isn’t bad either.

      I LOVE this cordial brand because it doesn’t give me any allergies unlike some other big name brands 😢

      Thank you, Bickford Cordials!

      We’re big fans of Bickford’s here!

      Lime, Lemon Lime & Bitters, Sarsaparilla, Grapefruit are all freaking good!

      The peach ice tea is my favourite, they discontinued my other favourite berry tingle. It was a sad sad day when I could no longer get berry tingle.

      Your advertising has worked. I didn’t know this existed and it’s now on the shopping list. It will become one of the top sellers

    38. arrkaydee on

      I didn’t even know there was a mango coconut flavour! I’ll have to give it a try to help drum up the sales numbers.

      My personal favourite is the lemon barley flavour mixed with soda water.

    39. peppapony on

      I think I’m too scared of trying flavours like mango and coconut cause there’s such a drastic difference between gold stuff and really fake tasting stuff

      I once wrote to Wolf Blass “Australian Wine at its peak” and ask where I could get their song. They said it was especially written for the commercial.

      Bickfords is about the only cordials I can drink now due to the proliferation of sugar substitutes that turn my stomach.

    43. laurie0459 on

      I loved their green tea cordial always sold out at the supermarket, neck minet they stopped producing it, I thought it was very popular

    46. Fancy_Cassowary on

      Write again and tell them to reconsider their cancellation of No Sugar Raspberry. My life is RUINED.

      Mango and Coconut slaps! but my faves (in no particular order) are the pink lemonade, peach iced tea, and cloudy apple. I did pick up a Guava and Citrus flavour in this weeks shop, which I haven’t seen before and haven’t tried yet, but I have high hopes!

    49. millycactus on

      I got so hooked on the orange, lemon and lime I had to switch to those flavoured hydramama sachets before I ended up diabetic.

      But now I’ve got so many new flavours to try from this thread….
