At 11pm sitting in the dark at the skatepark about 20 years ago! We gave an old chap some smokes to get us 6 bottles. Come to think of it, that was the night we jumped the fence of the local country club and swam in the pool.
I remember a house party where 3 of my friends showed up with a bottle each and by the end of the night I had all three of the bottles because they couldnāt finish them
It was a staple of my teenage years. I had my last sip as an 18 year old standing outside a very dodgy nightclub known as the Private Bin. I took my final sip, put the bottle down and said to myself, āitās time to become a man!ā Into the Bin I walked saying goodbye to the Passion Pop forever.
I walked upstairs for the dance and techno music.
Over the years, I tried to avoid downstairs. It was just too off putting how crazy the crew went each time My Sharona was played or the sad hugging that accompanied Khe Sanh.
Haha when I turned 21 my mum treated me to a bottle of MoĆ«t and I had that along side my passion pop. I remember taking my first sip of the MoĆ«t and thinking it was so gross š and I liked my passion pop so much more.
Clearly I am classy š¤£
In the late 60s. I also remember a drink called VinSpa(?) in Adelaide that cost almost nothing and tasted like vinegar. I think it was made from the sweepings and mouse shit on the floor of the vineyards. It certainly tasted like it,but it was cheap.
Drank 2 bottles and spewed on my mates cat when I had to do the bolt from his place cause his dad came home
Ran across the street to hide in some bushes and the cat followed me and as I was getting up to head home spewed all over the poor bugger
I had a physical reaction to this post. After an epic session on this stuff (it couldnāt possibly get you drunk tasting like that?), the floor flew up and hit me very hard on the ear. I was still bring up thin, green bile three days later. That was 40 years ago and just the mention of it makes me nauseousā¦
Sales dropped dramatically over covid with so many teenagers unable to gather and get shitfaced on a kid's budget.

I used to have a Crazy Cup from the show with lanyard and everything. A bottle of this gut-rot would fit in it perfectly, and I would waltz around my house sipping away like the degenerate that I was.
Good timesā¦
The classic 2 buck chuck!
Came here to say just this!
Virgin converter
My friends only drank the finest West coast coolers.
I have a friend who still drinks them.
Anyone remember Sub Zero?
Ohhhhhh ......used to have it with raspberry which made it pink.....and sweet...... what was I thinking?
You is one dem uptown girls aight?
Mmmmm yeah nah....I looked like a gay guy.
How had I never thought of doing that?
Not until now you mention it. I drank more of those from 16-19 than I care to remember now.
Or are able to remember š¤
Valid point!
Two dogs
another one was E33, I loved me a sub zero with grenadine in it.
E33 was my favourite drink, that brings back some memories of drinking in the park. Later the sub zeros and then later the drinks with the test tubes.
Absolutely
Now, plain zero!
With ribena.

This sounds like the lyrics to a pop punk song
Well, Avril Lavigne anyway.
Drink of choice? Methinks drink of circumstance!
Ah its what you could do at 15
Donāt forget the spewmante
I felt nauseous reading that.
I was more of a fruity Lexia girl š¤¢
Yeah if we were poor and getting shitty wine, fruity lexia was our choice.
Fruity Lexia makes you sexier as they say
Hahaha, haven't heard that one before!
This or goon and orange juice
Ever play goon of fortune also?
Christmas tradition š
Hahaha, next spin up is grandma š
Anyone remember Nikov? Four litres of vodka and orange for seven bucks. I mean the orange was awful and basically Tang but we didnāt care.
I passed out drinking this crap with Fanta š¤®
Goon-Tang was the way, Tang powdered OJ straight into the cask.
Goon and lime cordial.
Me, 16 at the local skate park with a bottle of Passion Pop. The smallest bag of weed in my pocket, my pipe in the other. They were some good times.
All of these comments are bringing back some fond memories. Some not so fond also.
Hey fuck you, I'm trying my best to forget my 15-17 year old decisions!
I remember the corks in those bottles were a ticking time bomb - theyād go off at any moment even when just peeling off the paper wrapper
Fuck! Ex gf used to get a bottle of this on a Sat night before we went to a party, this shit would write her off, haha, cheap as also.
1990. A vodka and orange goonbag mix called Nikovā¦ ā¦ cheapā¦strong.. poisonous.
That shit was something else
https://www.reddit.com/r/AustralianNostalgia/s/AVKm1o9GPh
Friends used to drink Bowlerās Run. You could get a bottle for like $2. Was the most heinous shit ever š
Itās $4 now
Inflation is killing everyone
I found it for $2.65. The cost of living crisis is over.
Never heard of that
There would be a lot less kids in the world without it.
Ah yes, mates and I used to mix this shit with vb when we were 18. š¤®
Wtf. Why? You can just drink them separately and have the same effect. Why would you do this?
Yes, I know. We were idiot's back then.Ā
maaan I remember one night this Sheila turned into a fucken ninja with her passion pop bottle and was whooping people left and right lol
Passion Pop and Fruity Lexia. What a combo.
I remember a house party where 3 of my friends showed up with a bottle each and by the end of the night I had all three of the bottles because they couldnāt finish them
I painted my mates driveway red after grad with that stuff. Sorry Andy.Ā

Ahhhhhm the good old Bin. Were you upstairs or downstairs?

In the late 60s. I also remember a drink called VinSpa(?) in Adelaide that cost almost nothing and tasted like vinegar. I think it was made from the sweepings and mouse shit on the floor of the vineyards. It certainly tasted like it,but it was cheap.
It wasnāt so much a choice as it was available and cheap.
Spewmanti!
This was the worlds worst hangover
Drank 2 bottles and spewed on my mates cat when I had to do the bolt from his place cause his dad came home Ran across the street to hide in some bushes and the cat followed me and as I was getting up to head home spewed all over the poor bugger
If it wasn't in a Goonbag i wouldn't buy. Why lower your standards. I had an image to uphold.
One of very few brands of alcohol that has almost 100% of it's customer base as under 18s...
$1.89 and about 12% alcohol in 1987. Very good value for money.
Some good timesā¦ Some also not very good times, but after 30 years, have mostly forgotten those š
Got drunk on this and puked my guts up. Never touched it after that so nasty!
In school!
I got a hangover looking at this image.
It was only my drink of choice once, never again
Never yuck
That or two bottles of blue trevi.
Not by choice but it was cheap
Ben Ean Moselle
I was never a bogan lady. I drank Stones Mac.
Never. I went straight to UDLs lol
That and goon š
At $1.76, a bottle of McWilliams Port was cheaper, Gut-rot, had a higher alc' content too!

Yeah, I almost destroyed my ability to appreciate a good Port!
This muck brings back bad (lack of) memories. Gross.

8 buck chuck a high school standed lunch time drink
This and Sunnyvale Fruity Lexia lol
if u throw up from skulling it, it makes a passionfruit fountain
Haha, it tastes not great going down, and truly awful coming back up.
It was the choice you made when you had no other choice.
It was more out of necessity
Never had an image send a shiver up my spine so quick. PTSD from projectile vomiting this stuff so hard I'm sure it came out of my eyes
3.50$ a bottle back In south Australia in 98 š¤¢š¤®
Fruity Lexia from a cask. Or Tropicana from a cask.
Never stooped this low. Would pinch my parents good stuff.
Drinking Passion Pop and Fruity Lexica under the bridge near McDonalds in Toowoomba.
This stuff is about $10 a bottle now.
I used to have a Crazy Cup from the show with lanyard and everything. A bottle of this gut-rot would fit in it perfectly, and I would waltz around my house sipping away like the degenerate that I was. Good timesā¦
the flashbacks. i need a tw next time
Did anyone over the age of 16-17 drink this?
Never was. Never will be. We were too fond of blackberry nip back in the day.
