I have seen them but straight up Coke Zero or Diet A&W work well for mt.
And, if I can find it the Zero Sugar Dr. Pepper w/Cream Soda is very nice.

I use the flavoured seltzers in my rotation of canned soda. And sometimes
just plain ol' Club Soda. The flavours are usually very subtle. But it's
all right-proper Belch Water. Bv)=

I learned, when keeping an aquarium w/tropical fish that you can let
tap water sit out in an open vessel and the chlorine in the water will
out-gas on its own in 24 hours. Learned that from my fish vendor, Aquaria
Unlimited. You can also just boil the water for 8 to 10 minutes. So

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Goldfish Bread (bungeoppang)
Categories: Breads, Dairy, Beans
Yield: 6 snacks
100 g (3 1/2 oz) A-P flour
45 g (1 1/2 oz) rice flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda (baking
- soda)
1/2 ts Baking powder
2 tb Caster (superfine) sugar
1 lg Egg
185 mL (6 fl oz/3/4 c) full-cream
- (whole) milk
1 tb Vegetable oil
3 tb Sweet red (anko) bean paste*
For this recipe you will need a goldfish mould, which
can be purchased from baking shops or online.
Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. In
another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Pour the
egg mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until you
have a smooth batter with no lumps. Pour the batter
through a fine-mesh sieve into a jug.
The goldfish mould can make two bread fish at a time.
Heat the mould in a frying pan for 2 minutes over medium
heat until it is nice and hot, then reduce the heat to
low. Carefully open the mould and brush the inside
lightly with vegetable oil.
Pour some batter into the fish shapes until they are
about one-third full; just enough to cover the bottom.
Add 2 teaspoons of red bean paste to the centre of each
fish, making sure not to overfill them or the batter
will spill out when cooking and wongCOt seal properly.
Pour in enough of the remaining batter to cover the red
bean paste and fill the fish shapes.
Seal the mould tightly and cook for 3-4 minutes over
medium heat, then turn the mould over and cook for
another 3 minutes on the other side. Open the mould to
check the bread is cooked. It should be golden and
crispy on both sides. If itgCOs not, reseal the mould and
cook for another 1-2 minutes, turning regularly, until
the bread is cooked. Remove from the heat.
Carefully remove the bread fish from the mould and serve
while they are still piping hot. Repeat with the
remaining batter and bean paste to make six in all.
