Thread the end of the ring pull through the hole of the next one and bend it around and so on and so on.
..... Obviously it was only me then!

Jubilade was launched for a limited time in 1977 for the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II - my father got a crate of it (48 cans) which came with us to Majorca in August - it's a flavour memory hat will stay with me to the grave. Everything on that vacation tasted of strawberry....

I'm loving the 12p price sticker and the classic ring pull on this can, does anybody remember making chains of old ring pulls off of your old cans or was that just me?

Nice one for posting the pictures. Remember these.

Hey, Flying Saucer. I remember these alright.

I remember about 4 different clear plastic cans with pink green blue or orange script on and they were called "seltzers" with clear liquid in, bit pricey too!

Any good?

Re: Discontinued novelty drinks

Something just popped into my head when recalling those drinks and it was a drink that my friend picked up sometime in the late 90's. It came in a transparent can and tasted similar to TAB. Apart from being a transparent can the other thing which made it so unusual was that there were edible orange balls floating around in the drink! I have no idea what these were called but I think they were only sold in smaller outlets so you wouldn't find them in any of the large supermarket chains. I would love to know if anyone else came across one of these.

I remember Tab Clear coming out in the UK about 1992 & not lasting long. This was because it sold for 23p a can for a while, & then went up to 43p without warning.

The sweet based drinks I can remember being around 1995-6, but didn't last long.

I can remember going into Woolworths one Saturday and my nan bought me the fruit salad, blackjack and refreshers drinks. I think the only reason I wanted the blackjack and fruit salad drinks though was for the little man on the bottle cap! Out of the three of them the ones I remember tasting were the blackjack and refreshers drinks, I don't think I had more than a few sips of each as I didn't really like them too much.

Wonders if the Luminious paint was meant to be a trail left behind by Slimer??
