Please help me recall this soft drink

[FrancisSeaton]

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

Orangina - with the slogan 'shake the bottle wake the drink'?

Um bongo was a tropical juice and not carbonated. Remember the over powering mango or passion fruit flavour

Um bongo was amazing and if I remember correctly it was a fantastic hang over cure if served very chilled.

Actually you can still buy it in Portugal, although they have stripped out the shit tonne of added sugar that was in the original but still tastes fab.

I even brought a 1 litre carton back a few years back!

1767 it was first invented but not commercialised until 1786 by Schweppes …. So google tells me lol

According to chatgpt, The UK soft drink advertisement from the 1980s that featured a kangaroo was for Tango. The commercial showcased a kangaroo to promote Tango's fruit-flavored drinks, emphasizing the brand's quirky and fun image. The kangaroo was part of a campaign that played on the playful and bold nature of the drink. Tango ads from that era are remembered for their humor and distinctive style.

I would drink that if they brought it back

The OP has found it. No it's not Tango Orangina or Babycham!

as natural as a budgie in a billabong Bruce - was one of the things we said all the time at school so I remember this - we didn’t have much else to entertain us in the 80’s 😂

I loved lime Citrus Spring. Why don’t I remember this advert at all?!!!

I have nothing useful to add, given that the OP has identified the mystery drink, but because I now have an annoying ear worm, you can share it:

😂😂

CANCEL THE CHEQUE!

Was it Quattro?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatro_(drink)

No, it was Citrus Spring - someone already identified it!

I loved Orangina in the bulb shaped bottle.

God, takes me back. Circa 1988 (age 17) best mate & I would go to the union bar at uni & order a bottle of the very cheap white wine & 2 cans of Citrus Spring (lime) between us. Made the wine more palatable! Delish!😅

Iceland are selling it atm! If you’re in the UK

Is it sunkist? Fizzy orange from the 80s

@Dilliie

I particularly remember the advert as I would ask for one of these drinks at the pub then boing around pretending I was one of the kangaroos....yes I was a nightmare child
