Just picked up some Hai Karate from my local Savers Chemist , thought i would give it a try as was only £1.99, has quite a strong smell so might not be for everyone. Also had Blue Stratos gift sets for £1.99 too , (Aftershave and Shaving Foam) , was on the shelf with the mens toileteries so should be nationwide.

I won a raffle at primary school and got to pick a prize. My parents were shouting for me to claim a bottle of wine but I went for the Hai Karate as I thought it looked cool.
I still feel I made the right choice.

Didn't know they still sold this, does it still smell as bad as it did in the 80s? :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah nostalgia, reminded me of my dad, thank you. Bringing back 'Monkey Magic' would just have the edge for me.

Once saw a bloke (showing off) glug half a bottle of this, can't imagine it tasted great, although I bet his breath was lovely!
Or was it Brut/Blue Stratos/insert 80's brand name here

There is a theory that a woman will be more attracted to you if you wear the aftershave that her father used to.

Cant believe i was only commenting a few days ago on the brut offer on here. i was asking if you could still get hai karate and blue stratos. I now know, might have to buy some and remember the old days, driving my cortina and escort, watching the sweeney, e.t and close encounters of the 3rd kind, and drinking skol and double diamond. Or maybe not, except for my cortina, wish they made a modern version if that now. Lol. Good find .

I still have a bottle of this in the back of my wardrobe from 1979!
I wonder if its classed as a collectable now?
I wonder if it smells the same?
Hmmmm
Might just pop down to Savers and see if the past is present!
