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

Iceland still sell Un Bongo but apparently it doesn’t taste quite the same. Probably because they reduced the sugar amount from back then😂

I just fell down a YouTube hole, the 90s really were problematic, plenty of 1 Cal drinks for weight loss, a small bare bottomed child by a pool - I wonder how he feels about that now, references to Jim Crow laws for Ki ora and my favourite an advert advertising coca colas New 2l PLASTIC bottle, it's lightweight don't you know.

Cresta?

Oh gosh, I remember Cresta, I can still taste it as soon as you said the name. It was kind of foamy, I loved it, but I think that had a Polar Bear advertising it.

Scotty22 · 11/08/2024 06:17

Was it Citrus Spring? I think Britvic made it and there was a orange, a lemon and a lime flavour.

I think the cans were blue with a picture of the fruit on the front.

They'd never get away with that image, these days.

Rio Tropical?

I can’t remember a kangaroo ad though!

I know your joking, some useless info though.

Cream soda! I won a bottle in the tombola at the school fair and thought it was the most thrilling drink ever!

queenmeadhbh · 11/08/2024 06:51

poptypingchef · 11/08/2024 03:57

Op if this isn’t it, it would be totally bizarre that there was more than one fizzy drink ad with kangaroos!

charlieinthehaystack · 11/08/2024 07:17

Cresta was Schwepps back in the 70s had a polar bear who said its frothy man!
KIa Ora was my fave delicious
cream soda you have with a scoop of vanilla ice cream my fave my oh used to make it and he says the smell makes him feel sick as the concentrate was so strong he worked at Wells drinks if anyone remembers them

Quatro was nice I don't know why they discontinued it.
