From 1896 or 7 kind of time
Was a fizzy drink and I think had something to do with spring water and if I remember correctly had kangaroos boinging about on the advert
It's driving me mad trying to remember it

Def um bongo. The other biggies then were fizzy Vimto and Irn Bru

FrancisSeaton · 11/08/2024 00:17

Not umbomgo although that was amazing as was moonshine also by libbys
This drink was orange and I think there may have been a lime flavour too

No idea, but try reading your first line again.

Flamingo68 · 11/08/2024 00:20

Um Bongo wasn’t fizzy (unless there were two kinds?) They briefly sold it again in my local Tesco around 10 years ago, I bought A LOT of it 🤤

AD1509 · 11/08/2024 00:21
