From Longtime Oranjemund Resident, Freddie Ahrens.

"I just want to say to who do not know that my mom (Adrian Ahrens) ran the cooldrink factory from the the sixties untill the closure of the factory. It was a heart breaking story for a lot of people because when a party was organised, just phone Adrian at the coldrink factory and the crates with the coldrinks for the children and the mixes for the not so children was delivered at the house. The only thing was...please return the empties and the crates... Needless to say that my sister and I allways had coldrinks at home. The good times we had with CDM. "

A little red bakkie used to drive down my moms street once a week it probably still dose, it was so overloaded the diff used to score a mark in the tarmac as it went on its way and sell from door to door a couple of guys would run up front and call at your house if you wanted to return the empties and purchase a full case of your selected range you liked,
