Mi-Wadi fruit squash is a part of many Dubliners' childhoods. The name comes from the original parent company - Mineral Water Distributors, formed in 1927. Mi-Wadi was originally sold in chemists, because cordials were thought to be good for sick people. In the 1970's, supermarkets such as Dunnes Stores started making Mi-Wadi more accessible. In the 1980's it was often mixed with alcohol.
