Ripple has been with us since pre-decimal days. That Crunchie wrapper is the one I first remember circa 1974

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 (many a happy summer spent as a kid with a frozen Keeko ).

A lot of people used to think that they were Vimto but the Keeko's tasted different and were far nicer IMO plus they were actually called Keeko. I think later on they may have been taken over by Vimto as they disappeared from the shelves. If my memory serves me correct, the Keeko's were in a semi translucent carton (white/clearish colour) with KEEKO written in gold, they also had a foil top (possibly gold too). It would be great if someone had a picture of one .

Can anyone remember the Keeko ?

PEZ - who remembers them!! Not sure if you can still get them, there were loads of different flavours

Yeah I remember them, if my memory serve me right, these were shaped like a brick, they were a hard chalky sweet. They were roughly 1cm long by may be half cm. You could get various dispensers as well, I remember having one from the Jungle Book.

Now I do remember real "ringpulls" the disappointment when the ring snapped off leaving the pull bit still there! The new style are just as rubbish though

LOL that happened to me so many times there was nothing worse on a hot day and you were dying for a drink .

I remember roughly when the real ring pulls started to disappear, it was around the summer of 83-84, I had just bought a can of Coke and hadn't noticed that it had the new ring pull on, I can remember looking at it to see how I would open it, my initial thought when I opened it and took my first drink was that you didn't get anywhere near the same amount of drink comping out has you did with the real ring pulls.

I think they were called Tabs here in the UK.
