SuperBacon Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 This was horrific. Just really unpleasantly sour, and I couldn't stop spitting for about an hour. My 10yo loved it though. 2/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Boycie Posted January 3 Paid Members Share Posted January 3 I had the Blue Raspberry flavour the other week and thought it was ok. It was very sour though as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule One Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I've had these in can form and they weren't very nice. The Dip Dab is slightly better than the can version but the no improvement with the Flumps. Both bin worthy. Mountain Dew Spark tasted and looked more like grapefruit than what's advertised. Mountain Dew Livewire was another false advertisement. Imagine the cheapest, nastiest, low down orangeade then leave it in the sun to go flat and that describes this. Last but not least on the road to diabetes. Orangina, better than the aforementioned Livewire but very poor compared to the bottled version ungodly amount of thick pulp even with a good shake. Fanta White Peach was excellent, looks like cloudy lemonade when poured but was a really pleasant surprise. Only bought due to the can but would definitely drink regularly if the price was decent.

Paid Members DEF Posted January 19 Paid Members Share Posted January 19 Back when I was about 12 in the mid 90s there were Dip Dab and Fruit Cocktail fizzy drinks in the taller thinner cans. I remember loving them but one of them gave me the most wretched farts of my life. I suspect the youth club I was at didn't appreciate it either.

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 19 Paid Members Share Posted January 19 I can't think of a sweet I like to see recreated in drink form less than a Flump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 19 Paid Members Share Posted January 19 That immediately made my teeth itch to think about, so you are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 What kinda person drinks Orangina out of a can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 While I was in Japan a few years ago, I picked up a kiwi fruit flavour Fanta that they only seemed to sell in one specific vending machine in Tokyo. It was an utterly godlike drink, so bloody tasty. I’ve tried to find it on eBay, at import shops - anywhere I could think of, without success. Maybe it was on its way out and being discontinued (hence it not being in any other vending machine), but if you’ve come across this, do let me know!

Looking at some sites and it seems like it was a very limited edition only sold at Konbinis. Was it this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in a can, but possibly. The main thing I remember about the can is that it had E+ in large writing on the can, so initially I had no idea what I was buying, it was blind faith until I read the back of the can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna try it but had a look and it does seem to have been a very limited time it was around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted January 20 Paid Members Share Posted January 20 (edited) Nectar of the gods, this stuff. You can swig a can in two drinks, but it's a cracking drink when it's hot out. Edited January 20 by Nick James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 I love how "5% crushed lemons" is supposed to be a bragging point. WOOOOOOW! A whole 5%!!! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
