Who remembers Um Bongo? I loved that stuff. It was actually the best drink of the 90s. For you young people or foreigners, Um Bongo was a tropical juice drink which was amazingly lush. I have a fond memory of going around this housing estate area in the back of our old red Ford Escort, trying to pierce the carton with the weird extendable straw, only to end up with it all in my lap. Silly Matt.
But I go onto YouTube, only to be told that they don’t stock it anywhere in the UK any more. Now I’m shocked. I was annoyed when they stopped stocking Golden Grahams, but a lovely childhood drink should not be simply stripped from the shelves.
So yeah. Anyone who works in a supermarket or, indeed, any sort of food and drink shop, tell your manager guy to start selling Um Bongo. It’s amazing.


I’m on it.
