Scope and content
Yellow and white label with pink and green writing for ‘Mi-Wadi 6 Fruit Squashes and Mi-Wadi Glucose’ and lists the flavours.
MiWadi fruit squash is a part of many Dubliners’ childhoods. The name comes from the original parent company – Mineral Water Distributors, formed in 1927. MiWadi was originally sold in chemists, because cordials were thought to be good for sick people. In the 1970s, supermarkets such as Dunnes Stores started making MiWadi more accessible. In the 1980s it was oft en mixed with alcohol.
