Keeko's

[Fatboy]

Can anyone remember Keeko drinks ?

These used to come in cartons, you could either drink them or put them in the freezer and have them. A lot of people used to think that they were Vimto but the Keeko's were much nicer, plus they were actually called Keeko, I think later on, they may have been taken over by Vimto as they dissapeared from the shelves. Can anyone remember the Keeko ?

Re: Keeko's

Rings a bell, I'm sure our local shop sold them frozen.did they have keeko printed over a plastic?film top? and you had to stab it with your straw to open it? I may be getting mixed up wih a different make of cup drink though.If it's the one the plastic cup was kind of coragated.

Re: Keeko's

I remember a strange drink for the very early 70's that I cannot name but sounds familiar.It was a plastic tube which could be frozen or drunk normally.there were several flavours,one being Vimto,they must have been about 6-7 inches long I remember them bigger,but I was a lot smaller then)
could these be Kellos?? I have never seen them since

and no,im not thinking of those ice pop things,these were sold unfrozen and seemed to be rather stiff like they were compressed.when you stuck the straw in the end,they didn't collapse as the plastic was quite stiff and crinkley

Yeah they used to sell them frozen as well in the shops where I live. If I remember correctly the tops were made of foil.

Re: Keeko's

The Keeko's used to be in a white/clear coloured carton with I think gold writing on them and the tops of them, were made of foil.
