Hi all,

Gosh I hope you asll don't think this is a ridiculous post but it has been driving me crazy lately.

During the 90s, when I was growing up, there was a small carton of fruit juice, similar to Libby's Um Bongo, and it was quite popular. I cannot whatsoever, think of the name of this drink. I have tried googling online and have even checked when im shopping, however, I think that they have stopped making this particular drink, how long ago they stopped making it, I am not sure.

It was one of those drinks that alot of kids at school would have had in their lunch box.

I think it may have had a funny name like Um Bongo - possibly not - and I think there may have been jungle animals/ wild animals attached to it aswell.

Any help is much appreciated, thankyou.

I remember as a child seeing the Umo Bongo adverts and the adverts said Umo Bongo is made from nine different fruits! However, I had totally forgotten about Umo Bongo until this thread was started!

Thanks to the OP of this thread for reminding me!

All the black kids in our school got teased mercilesly because of Um Bongo. Kids can be very cruel.

The only Top Deck drink I can remember was shandy.

How about Fruitopia. I don't remember it but it's what a search brought up.
