They drink it in the Congo apparently.

Haven't seen any in the UK for ages but I know they still make it as have seen it in Portugal, is it still sold in the UK at all?

What is "bongo", am I too young to understand this or is it a cult?

Except for when the straw refuses to go in, and then you push too hard and it comes out of the other side and then you have to suck out of it in a most alarming manner... Other than that it's awesome though.

I know what you are on about, but for the life of me I can't remember what they were called. My mum would never buy them for me

Funny - in my head it's always been Um Bungo. I guess reading wasn't my strong point at that age.

Om nom nom, though.

They were indeed called Jublees or however you spell it.

Think they have been around a ong long time as I remember way back when as a kid my dad talking about them as if they were old.
