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

Wow, I didn't think fizzy drinks were invented back then? 🤭

I know your joking, some useless info though.

Aargh. I remember the kangaroo, but I can't for the life of me remember the drink's name. You've now got me frustrated, too.

For some reason, when I read your description I thought of Mountain Dew? No idea whether it actually fits any of the criteria though......

Tonnes of adverts on Youtube. No idea on this one though

5 alive?

Biggaybear · 11/08/2024 00:39

I dont remember the kangaroos but there was a drink back in the early 90's that was made with Spring water. I used to buy loads of the lime flavoured one.

Damned if I can remember the name now though.

Walkabout springs had a kangaroo on the bottle I think?

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 11/08/2024 00:46

Koala springs?

LaraThot · 11/08/2024 00:47

Never heard of Walkabout Springs in the UK

deviantfeline · 11/08/2024 00:54

Not Bundaberg?

starfishmummy · 11/08/2024 01:08

Pschitt orange?

Probably not as it's French and AFAIK they don't habe kangaroos. But who can resist a drink called Pschitt.

Libby's Unbongo?

I loved this in the late 90s😂

Beachwalks2 · 11/08/2024 01:36

Was it Wallaroo? It won’t let me add an image but the advert from the 80s is on you tube. I don’t remember it so might be totally wrong and not sold in the UK 🤣
