Prime hydration

[cheesefest]

During the mid 90s. Doc Marten boots and shoes were the rage. My mum went to a factory shop for shoes for herself one day and spotted these slight seconds of DMs - the odd stitch out of place etc. These had a third off RRP. She took me there after school one day and bought a pair of cherry red DM boots. My friends' mums were pleased with how much I paid for them and went en masse on the Saturday.

So you could say that people drinking stuff with this sweetener are superior chads for surviving even with slightly suppressed immune systems?

Nice.

No, it's probably some cornershop or one of those definitely-not-money-laundering-operations candy stores.

Kids - be unique, not a sheep.

When I was a kid, and I bet Feek did, we had ESSO football collections of badges and club emblems and you did everything to try and complete your collection, nothing has changed.
Are you telling me that as a young girl there wasn't something that all your friends were having that you also wanted?
This is the way.

£11 for a bottle of drink?

WTF?

Tell your kids to stop being stupid.

Pea in a prime bottle and tell them to drink it. They won't ask for prime again.

People still buy Carling and Fosters mate.

Prices like this, it's time to introduce them to the wonders of a soda stream.

Is it the case that you can't drink this stuff and drive?

 

[Feek]

None of those were expensive though, you could get a Tamagotchi for a tenner at Argos, they were always in stock, Furbys were the same

Furbys were in great demand and were very, very expensive. I was lucky enough to have a friend who ran a shop and I got four of them at retail. One for each of the kids and two that I sold via a classified advert in the local paper for a huge profit in the run up to Christmas 1998. One woman called me, begging me to sell one to her at the normal price because of [insert some sob story here] but I refused. I think the money I made from those two paid for most of Christmas that year

These were awesome back in the day. Seem to be getting a little more popular again.

How about the mr frosty ice pop maker?

It isn't the drink, it's the bottle they're after.

I doubt my nephews,nieces & friends will know where to get them from and if they knew they were knock off they wouldn't want them.

I think I just remember hearing about them at school, coming home and telling dad, and the next day we had Furbys between us siblings lol. The same with Tamagotchis. All from Argos.

I guess no-one drinks them alone either and every single sip must be crafted into some social media moment. Uhhh....
