....Turkish Delight.... Some over-sweet jelly stinking of flowers .

 

....Coca Cola....It wasn't widely available in the 1950s UK. Sugary water!

Complete agreement on both.  I find rose a difficult flavor to get right without becoming cloying.   However, I do love TD's French cousin, påte de fruit, with its pure fruit flavors. 

And we noticed that "Coke" had a completely different taste profile in Great Britain and Europe

than that that we were familiar with in the US.    I compared it to Dr. Pepper.   But back to your analysis, I agree that it is no heavenly concoction.

"Rose", in particular, can be troublesome.
