Cresta was a frothy fruit-flavoured drink produced in the UK by Schweppes from the early 1970s through to the early 1990s. It originally came in four different flavours: strawberry, lemon & lime, pineapple and orange; blackcurrant & Cream Soda were added later. Cresta is widely remembered for its 1970s advertising campaign led by a cartoon polar bear (also called Cresta) sporting sunglasses whose attempts at looking suavely cool would be overwhelmed by bouts of uncontrolled enthusiasm when drinking Cresta. The bear's widely quoted catch phrase "It's frothy, man!" summed up the difference between that brand and more traditionally fizzy soft drinks.
