I've heard you have to go way down deep and towards the middle before you notice it.

...I'm waiting for the political correctness crew to get on to this and will duck for cover when they start spouting tosh.
Coincidentally - wasn't the Political Correctness Crew a crappy R 'n B combo from Brixton who failed in their layabout lifestyle bid with a little ditty called 'Duck for Cover' - although, I may have just made that up :sunglasses:

I bought this a year ago at this price because I was reminiscing about my childhood, when my mum would buy me some Um Bongo after swimming lessons.
It tasted absolutely vile. Like elephant p*ss.
I like some sugary drinks like the occasional Sunny D but this was just disgusting.
Don't know what younger me was thinking. :neutral_face:

Contrary to popular belief, this drink is NOT available in the The Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Apparently it is produced in Portugal, a more fitting theme would be:
"Um Bongo, they don't drink it in the Congo due to a high costs and taxes involved in shipping from Europe, risk of piracy, low average wage of the population and tolls on the Suez canal. But you mght like it so buy it. Um Bongo!"
Not quite as catchy though
