    God, this is really frustrating because there are none of those drinks here! Except for "um bongo" :) and apple juice and milk, of course.
    I used to drink um bong too, when I was "petite".

    Did they briefly make a different kind of Coke that had no colour to it? It looked like fizzy water? Or am I mental?

    No no, TAB was brown too, like Coke. I do remember that clear still though. Coke and Pepsi both had one. Anyone remember 7up Gold? They used to advertise 7up as "Crisp and clean with no caffeine - never had it, never will." Then they turned around and put out 7up Gold which had caffeine. I guess they got it on a technicality by tacking "Gold" on to the name ;) ...

    Anyway - these lists are fun, mrsc!

    We always used to have Kia-Ora (sp??) at home. My mum loved the ad that went 'I'll be your dawg' (remember that? or am I showing my age!) and that was it... she was sold on it!

    you mean this song?

    Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a
    guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty
    tango.

    The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.

    The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.

    So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

    Oh my, I remembered the lyrics!
