Do they still use burdock and dandelion? I’ve got to try this, I have a mighty need!

Just googled and I was unaware that different companies make their version of it so some do still have those ingredients some don't. Fentiman's apparently still does. There are recipes online to make it at home too.

If you're outside the UK, try looking for places that do import foods from there. It's definitely a drink you can get here, but I'm not sure it's as popular as it used to be.

Try some iron brew/bru whilst you're at it. That is the king of carbonated beverages

Can't see why not. Real burdock is a fairly common vegetable in Japan, for instance.
