I had no idea these were still sold. My wife loved them when we were teenagers, so I got her a case of 24: still around £1 a bottle which surprised me.

Reef orange and passion fruit, full of nutritious Vit C
where’d you buy them from mate?
Back in 2003 I used to be able to strawpedo one of these without using my hands
I want the red and blue Reefs, much nicer
I can feel the bile rising already
Oh place your haaaaaaands on my hope, run your fiiiiiingers through my soul.
Student uni bar , £1 drink night and you’d get a Reef, a Red and 2 vodka shots in a pint glass
My gut is bubbling just from seeing this
Reef, Castaway, Smirnoff Ice….. Good (but hazy) memories!
I was talking about these on LinkedIn of all places this week.
Used to drink these at my halls bar with a pack of Mcoys. Used to be 50% juice and tastes just like an alcoholic J20
Standard order in the students union. Pint of strongbow and a bottle of reef. Neck half the strongbow and top it up with reef. Disgusting yet amazing.
VK, 59p on student nights. How I miss 2009. Only 15 years and yet it feels like a long time ago.
Missing the ‘ribbed’ bottleneck!!
Can strawpedo one of these in 5 seconds.
Eef Freef!
i didnt know i could be nostalgic for a drink….
i remember downing half a pint of carling and topping back up with one of these
I also remember bar staff telling me i couldnt do it at the bar and needed to sit back down first.
Mainly purchased for women by a lad at the side drinking his Smirnoff Ice, if I remember correctly.
This takes me back 20yrs which means I’m old as fuck now so cheers for that
Good to see you’ve *put your hands on* it.
I swear, if I burped now I could still taste these.
Something are best left in the past.
I remember trying Hooch again after many years and that was incredibly sweet, I’d imagine that they will be just a sweet
I can smell the passion fruit vomit from here.
I think original Hooch lemonade is the earliest alcopop I remember..though there was something around the same time in the mists of my memory called ‘Two Dogs’? . Might be a dream though, I never know these days.
Before /during that time get-pissed-quick juice of a fruity nature meant -talking of dogs- smuggling a few (conveniently flat) bottles of the ol’ MD 20:20 into the pub when there was a band playing. The bilious green one was my favourite.
That was the advent of the Super Ciders as well. K, Strongbow Super (or Strongbow Stupor as it was known) and a resurgence of Merrydown. They toppled trampy wee-wee lager off the top spot for alkies, ravers with permanently depleted serotonin, ~~~the unemployed~~~ jobseekers and pre drinking students. Tennents Super for the hoi-polloi it was, and Carlsberg Special Brew if you had some fucking class. Both were 9% alcohol back then. Kestrel Super was the young pretender that came along late.
Special mention should be given to the absolute pros who indulged in either Thunderbird ‘wine’ or it’s demonic sister ‘Nighttrain Express’. They were some kind of 17% sherry-like American swill, but they’d get you drunker’n a sailor on shore-leave in Chennai.
Severe heartburn and stinking hangovers in bottled form.
Yep. This brings back memories.
Get in!
I always thought these tasted proper decent, unlike most of the stuff that was on offer at clubnights (Java alcopops I’m looking at you 🤮)
Do they still taste decent now, not just like in a reminiscing kinda way? Saw them a couple years ago on that GoodNightIn site, glad it seems legit, might try👍
Someone posted these on Facebook earlier, B&M apparently have them too!
Hell yeah
Yay!
Once upon a time I filled a 3 pint glass with Reef and attempted to down it all.
Much barfing followed.
Oh to be a student…
But this lad at her side drinking his Smirnoff Ice
Came and paid for her Tropical Reef
