20 Forgotten Drinks Every 80s Australian Family Had at Home

The jug in the fridge, the tin in the cupboard, the spoon rattling in the glass. Twenty drinks that filled Australian kitchens in the eighties, and the little rituals that came with every one. From a jug of Cottee's cordial to a green tin of Milo, this video counts down twenty drinks from the family kitchen: cordials, powders, juices, fizzy drinks, and the tea and coffee that came out whenever visitors arrived. Some disappeared from the shelf for good, some are still around under a different label, and every one had its own way of being made. Which drink did your house argue about? The one that was never to be touched, the one that always ran out, the one Dad swore was better than it was. Tell me in the comments, with your number from the list.
