does anyone remember this drink in a carton from the 80's? I have it in my head it was a mint milk drink, but i could be wrong it had an advertising campaign that used the letters to make phrases like We Fly Living Apples (ok i know thats crap, but it was something like that)

I remember it because I was addicted to it for a while in about 1981. It was a milk based drink in a carton, there were a few different flavours, I think there was a chocolate/mint one and a hazlenut one. I think it was only released in a test market and since it disappeared again, I guess it didn't catch on. Shame, it was great as I remember it.
Yes, I remember it too.
There was definitely a mint one. Probably taken off the market cos thousands of us sugar-zombies were addicted to it!
One of the advertising phrases was "Winged Fraulein Lands Askew"
The Co-Operative were the only supermarket chain that carried it, I recall. This I know because I would ride my bike three miles, and past at least three other supermarkets, specifically cos they sold this evil liquid methadone!

I remember there being 3 advert slogans - these being 'Wingled Frauleins Land Askew', Wives For Lovelorn Androids' and Wearing Farcical Lino Attire'. The slogan was either 'No pips, No Fizz, No Lobster or No Fizz, No Cans, No Lobster.. might be getting confused with 'Just Juice' on the slogan line. Nice tasting but hardly worth the 13p they cost at our corner shop.
I did find an advert online, not YouTube oddly. The phrases were "W, W, WFLA; Winged Fräulein Lands Askew; Wearing Farcical Lino Attire ... " The punchline was "No Tin, No Straw, No lobster".
They came in three flavours as a remember, Mint Choc, Hazelnut and Coffee and they tasted disgusting!
When I moved to Portsmouth in January 1983, there were posters for this milkshake everywhere. "WFLA? Woodpecker fixes a leaky airbed; Waitresses Foolishly Lassoing Aircraft"
