I tried one last weekend at the age of 36. I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not but managed to drink 3, not sure I could have had another.

We had them for the first time last New Year. Very sweet and like drinking sherbet.

OhJustElfOff · 21/12/2018 22:30

yes, I've just bought some to remind me of Christmas in years long gone by

@merename I don't think I ever will. I was a fussy eater as a child and I just never tried it. I don't drink coffee either.
However I'm more than happy to try new alcoholic beverages! Haha

MrsT4 · 21/12/2018 22:31

34 and never had a snowball, or advocat or sherry or even mulled wine!

Adore normal wine though so I don't know why not?

Blowjob, pass semen from your mouth to another person.

MrsT4 · 21/12/2018 22:32

Or eggnog actually!

jessstan2 · 21/12/2018 22:37

You need a good dash of lime. Lovely!

brizzledrizzle · 21/12/2018 22:41

It's like raw egg, custard and aniseed I reckon.

SilverySurfer · 21/12/2018 22:41

I'm in my 70s and have never had a snowball - nor am I likely to in the future. Advocat is vile stuff.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 21/12/2018 22:41

DH drank several as a child. I’m only 37 and have never had one, best I get on it.

delboysskinandblister · 21/12/2018 22:44

OP try it it's very Christmassy.

It was the one alcoholic drink we were allowed to try at Christmas when we were little Hmm Xmas Grin.

Didn't know about the lime. Can it be any lime? Rose's cordial or lime zest or I think there's some plastic lime in the kitchen cupboards..??

E20mom · 21/12/2018 22:53

It's amazing! Xmas Grin

Frogletmamma · 21/12/2018 22:54

Absolutely never try doing the twist after one!

BestIsWest · 21/12/2018 22:54

It needs a slug of brandy too. Not had one for years. May have to buy some advocates and maraschino cherries.

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 21/12/2018 22:56

I am fifty and I have never bought a lottery ticket ( I don't know how to either)

Lynne45 · 21/12/2018 22:58

I remember my mum letting me try one when I was about 13. It was horrible.

sj257 · 21/12/2018 22:59

Disgusting.... used to be allowed one when I was younger Grin

Sitranced · 21/12/2018 23:00

Don't forget the glacier cherry!

Love Snowballs Xmas Grin

Deadbudgie · 21/12/2018 23:04

Ooh that was my first alcoholic drink. Always disappointed it doesn’t taste like banana milkshake though

I thought this thread was going to end up about snowballing...

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 21/12/2018 23:11

47 and never ventured, I think it’s 1950s thing

babysharkah · 21/12/2018 23:15

Doesn't the line just curdle it - like one of those awful gorilla snot shots?
