Remember seeing them for 50p or so in Poundstretcher and them being about £3 in a club.

Zest and Jammin are two others that were around at the time that haven't already been mentioned.

Never saw that one before! Lucky as I had quite a few bad Pernod moments in my early teens. Still trying to find the name of Asda’s own brand Hooch we used to buy.

Metz was my go too. Haven't had one in nearly 20 years & i don't really drink anymore. Are they still about?

Haven’t seen them for donkeys - in fact, I’d completely forgotten about them but can still taste it!

Two Dogs

Never been my thing alcopops but an ice cold Two Dogs on a hot summer evening was boss now and then. It was a bit sharper, less sugary.

There was an alcopop out just after Hooch had came out that was cream soda flavoured and it was great. Cant for the life of me think what it was called though. ALl I can remember was it came in 3 different varieties (not just cream soda) and they used to sell it in the Merton...not much use I know.

So can I now...they left a weird burning taste in the back of your throat.

Just talking in work about alcoholic sugary drinks from back in’t day. Hooch remembered by everyone but also recall Reef and Smirnov Mule. Surprised anyone my age still has their own teeth.

Reef smelled like cats piss

First ever bad vomiting session was as 15 year-old on 20/20

They had a kiwi flavoured one if i recall correctly.
Was boss.

Just getting served bevvie in the dodgy offie was boss too.

The original irn bru flavoured wkd was decent, but Hooch was the daddy.
Drunk some of my lads one last weekend, some passion fruit style one. Decent enough.

What was that grim place with all the awful flavoured shots at the end of Slater street?

 

[Simon Buttle]

Hooch used to go down far too easily, before you knew it you had drunk a shedload of them.

 

[Papa Shango]

Was it Shotts?

Yes! That's the one, cheers.

I got so drunk on Metz when I was 16 it put me off alcopops for life

That advert always reminds me of my Dad saying the judderman looked like Abel Xavier
