The strawberry one was the best!

Blue Thunderbird?

I think quite a few of the old favourites were victims of a cull on alcopops driven by miserable government legislation.

Woody's Strawberry & Lime, Mac & Ernie's Alcoholic Cola, 20/20 all disappeared around the same time.

Others that probably just stopped selling so were delisted: V2, Metz, Castaway.

Castaway.

Does that not exist anymore? Sad times.

Used to be awesome with Diamond White (Blastaway) or with added Blue Bols (Blastyourballsaway). Ah, happy days.

[DRFC1879]

Whilst working at the local Working Men's Club as a teenager we often made up a Blastaway in a pint pot which was topped up with vodka and swilled in one at the end of a shift before heading to town and into the nightclub.

Good times.

I can find some of the other flavours
Wonder how much it would cost to ship it over from America

Hooch made a reappearance a few years ago didn't it?

Seems it's still available from most shops, that was definitely a drink from my youth as well as 20/20!

Orange was the best, used to drive my ex into a horny moist mess, at the age of 16 it was the best thing ever

[DRFC1879]

Global Brands (owners of VK, Corky's & Amigos among others) of Chesterfield bought the rights to the Hoopers and Hooch brands and re-launched them a few years ago. I think the original Hooch got in bother with the ASA due to the lemon cartoon character which hasn't made a re-appearance.

Lightweight, wasn't red stronger ?

It was indeed but it was also more expensive - 50p or maybe even a quid? When you're 15 in the late eighties that quid went a long way...

Leave a bottle of white open for a couple of weeks, add some vinegar, add the juice from a kiwi and a lemon and I reckon you wont be far off

When I first joined the RAF many years ago I was introduced to K cider and Stella pints, harder than the normal snakebite LOL. As for T bird and MD I can taste the vomit still, the water melon MD put me off water melons for the rest of my life LOL.

Scrumpy + Tennants Super for a lethal Snakebite.

Scrumpy + Tennants Super + Blackcurrant for a Purple Nasty ........ and potentially a very messy bathroom/bedroom/etc

[stainless_steve]

We use to have a bottle of diamond white and a bottle of pilsner in the same glass.

Snake bite and black
Pernod nasty - snake bite and black with a double shot of Pernod.
Turbo Shandy - half a lager (probably grolsh) and half Birmingham university house table wine.
Cheeky vimto- blue Wkd with double shot of port.

Those got me through university.

[sploosh]

I used to drink bitter and red vermouth - WTF!

[Gandahar]

Gold label barley wine



Still going strong after all these years and not been tarnished with the super strength superbeers.

Classic drink when you were not brewing your own from a kit bought at Boots ... those were the days... real (old) men used to brew their own,

ahem.

Mention of castaway reminded me of a drink that was served at our local in the early 90s named 'blastaway' that consisted of a bottle of castaway, a shot of vodka in a pint pot topped up with diamond white that was on draft.

happy times
