Anyone Remember the green squash you used to get in the 80s /90s?

Talking about stuff from childhood with DH and I was telling him about the green squash my mum used to buy us as kids. He looked perplexed and laughed. Now I can't find a pic of it but I remember it so vividly. It was a tropical flavour I think and was literally bright green. Anyone else remember?

Don't think you're going nuts. It was in existence.

Quosh your thrist or something along those lines.

I saw you! You were definitely first Grin

Thank you very much.

Now all I have to do is figure out why this thread made me think about "nobody loves me, everyone hates me, I'll think I'll go into the garden and eat worms"

I could be paraphrasing, after all we're going back more decades than I care to admit on this thread!!

I remember a green kiwi squash by Robinsons. I think it was a Monsters Inc promotion though, so not 80s/ 90s.

Interested in this thread?

Quosh did a melon flavour squash too, I think? Looked like brake fluid but tasted lovely.

goldfinchonthelawn · 14/09/2022 23:06

Tropical Quosh. Lurid green. My mum used to buy it. We loved it. So artificial but we thought it was really sophisticated Grin

Lime cordial!!

DutchessOfMuck · 14/09/2022 23:09

Sunny Delight lime and something flavour?

anon666 · 14/09/2022 23:12

Was it lime cordial?

RJnomore1 · 14/09/2022 23:14

I remember it! I forgot all about quosh!

fUNNYfACE36 · 14/09/2022 23:23

I remember orange quash

HollyHocks13 · 14/09/2022 23:25

I remember this! I can remember the taste vividly - it was delicious and tropical flavoured. I'd love to know what it was called - it was definitely around in the late 80s and I remember making ice lollies with it!

we used to get bright green pine flavour squash in Aus.

looked like brake fluid

It was definitely called Quosh and it was emerald green even when diluted. I loved it, can almost taste it now. I too have looked for a photo because no one else can remember it but it's from way before the Internet and digital photos.

This advert shows the 80's design of the bottle for the orange one, the green one was the same shape and similar label.

Definitely remember this because I pestered to try it and recall Mum saying anything the colour of fairy liquid is unlikely to be good for you 😂

Sweetlikechocolate6 · 15/09/2022 00:02

Was it Siro Nimo? My brother and I loved this as kids but it was only on sale for a few weeks in our area but have craved it ever since

MrsDeWinter · 15/09/2022 10:09

Was Quosh available in England. I remember thinking it was only a NI product for some reason...the reason being I was 9😉

My neighbour drank a whole bottle of it undiluted and had green poos for a week! He was treated like a champion amongst the rest of the children. The things we did for amusement in the 80s. His mother was not amused😂

x2boys · 15/09/2022 10:35

Were there different flavours of Quosh?
I remember it but I don't remember being green .

QuinkWashable · 15/09/2022 10:39

Quosh! Thank goodness someone else remembered the name or I was going to be pre-occupied trying to remember all day..

My brother absolutely loved it. Super sticky as I remember

Deathraystare · 15/09/2022 16:25

I remember Tropical Quosh!!

Gaynor1972 · 14/07/2023 21:30

I do remember this. I was just asking my childhood best friend about this the other day. I’m convinced it was a Tesco own. It was in a clear bottle and it was a bright green liquid. It was only available for a short period of time. I didn’t think it was quosh

I remember Quash Tropical!!! I loved it. I'd love to get it again. Same with Cremola Foam & Quotro, i think it was called. It was in a white can with green & orange squares on it, i think. Bring them back!!! Please!!!

SirVixofVixHall · 17/09/2023 00:24

Corona pop did a pop the same colour green, called Jungleade. That was a decade before the Quosh one.

Leggytigberk · 17/09/2023 10:22

PandaPops did some unusual colours, including a bright blue strawberry flavoured drink in a clear bottle.
