The current label says Bing is being bottled by CBL Drinks for Speaking Water Brands Ltd, a company based in Purley, Surrey. These companies have however changed name in 2016.[1][2] It is unclear who currently produces Bing.
It was dark orange in colour and had a cherryade quality to it. The flavour has been compared by some[who?] to original Tizer (before they removed the artificial flavourings).
The name 'Bing' comes from the original producer of the drink, one Edwin Bing of Canterbury, who ran a chemist and mineral water business in Canterbury. His company 'Bing's Mineral Waters ltd' was bought by Silver Spring in 1968. The distribution of Bing was very limited: it was principally available in the County of Kent, but also in London and Essex.
