Top Deck (drink)

Top Deck was a low alcohol shandy drink available in a variety of flavours and marketed to children in the United Kingdom during the 1960s and 1970s.[1] It was a brand of the Beecham Group until 1986 when it was sold along with the more popular brand Tango, along with the UK franchises for Pepsi and 7-Up, to Britvic.[2] It is believed that Top Deck ceased to exist in the mid 1990s. The 1990s rock band Nirvana were reported to have had Top Deck on their rider for an appearance on The Word.[3]
