Quatro (drink) (Wikipedia)

Quatro was a canned, fruit-flavoured carbonated drink produced from 1982 to 1989 in the United Kingdom. From 1983 to 1989 it was commonly available in the UK, though production and sale of the drink ceased there in the mid-1980s.[citation needed] Green in colour, its name derived from the four fruits used: pineapple, orange, passion fruit and grapefruit.
