80s juice drink called 5 Oh!

[hurkleho]

Hi, I hope someone can restore marital harmony to my home. Does anyone remember a juice drink called '5 Oh!' that was out in the 80s, maybe 70s? It was similar to 5 alive (in that it was made from 5 chemically enhanced fruit flavours) and came in a squat white juicebox with rainbow coloured font. My husband thinks I've imagined it. I'm also beginning to doubt my sanity as I can find no reference to it online. Thanks in advance!

There was an energy drink called "Lost Five-0", but it was mostly available in America.....
Am I anywhere near?

I'm not sure, bob... does it fit the description above?

[hurkleho]

Naw, just looked up Lost 5-Oh, and it was only introduced in 2004. My juice drink was long gone by that time. Probably for being dangerously toxic.

good point, hurkleho,
it came in a can a far as I recall...., but that's the nearest I remember to that name.
I'll keep trying... (I'm in the food & drink trade)....
Was it a thing aimed at kids?

[hurkleho]

Yeah, a small white carton. Aimed at kids. Had 5 'flavours' like 5 alive, but they weren't tropical fruits. Cheers, Bob!

[bobthefisherman]

Well, it certainly did exist...
I've spoken to a couple of my suppliers, and to a few customers, and they all remember it, but I can't find any information (and I've searched everywhere I can)....
Let me know if you have any more luck with this - it's driving me silly now...
Bob. xx

bob, do you remember a drink called WFLA? i remember it as a mint flavoured milk, but no-one else in the world remembers it!

I remember a juice drink called "Hi!"

[bobthefisherman]

I do bednobs,
It stood for "Winged Frauline Landing Askew", and it had the slogan "no tin, no fizz, no lobster"......!?
It never caught on though...
I wonder why?

[bednobs]

yippee! someone else in the worls remembers it. The adverts were all different but based around the letters WFLA i remember one that went something like winged flamingos limbo was it really mint flavoured milk? If so, i can see why it's not stilla round

[bobthefisherman]

There were four or five flavours, mainly fruit juices, but there was a milk version, which they eventually made into one of the first "alcopops", but it was withdrawn from sale after pressure from people saying it was encouraging children to drink....
