Vimto is fucking awful.
Irn Bru is luckily available everywhere, but when I was a kid, we had to rely on Jockanese relatives bringing it down for us.

Just to be clear - you are arguing over the relative merits of children's drinks?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:44, Reply)

they are only children's drinks
because they are marketed as such
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:45, Reply)

no, they are childrens drinks because they do not contain alcohol.

The rule in our house is
Brown drinks are for grown-ups

This seems reasonable.
Although a lot of the more fun ones are colourless, though.

They do if the parents are a bit chavvy.

judicious application of espresso to small children at the right time
ensures that the resulting caffiene crash helps them sleep longer. Win.

oh..um
*adds vodka to tea*
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:48, Reply)

tea is the only exception to this universal rule
although, tea is suitable for all ages.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:49, Reply)

Yes. That is how it works.
You might call children their "target market". It is therefore reasonable to extrapolate from this that these drinks could be classified as "children's drinks"

Pretty much yeah.
Shall we argue about crisps next?

We have them in the shop I work in

Pretty much the same taste as Monster Munch.
Or Space Raiders.

I bet you remember Spangles too.
Teeth rot specials, they were the dentist's friend, and we kids loved them.

I'm not that old
I only remember people talking about remembering spangles. Second hand nostalgia is still nostalgia, though
