Hoopers Hooch And Two Dogs

[GUNTER]

Can you still buy these "alcoholic lemonades" which sold in their millions in the late 90's - the appear to have disappeared off the face of the earth?

I remember Merrydown who brewed two dogs under licence making a fortune for a while.

Mad Dog 20/20!! Bottle of that on the bus, waste a quid on line up in the arcade, then down the Top Rank Suite!! Fake ID, fool the bouncers, get upstairs, have a fight, brag about it all on the bus home, miss school the next day with the hang over from hell!

Happy days!!

20/20 was for girls, I preferred Thunderbirds

Thunderbirds was evil but done the job. Anywhere still sell it?

I remember being about 16 and out in Brighton one time.

Some friends and I stood nervously around the corner of an offy near the King Alfred for ages trying to pluck up the courage to go in and buy a bottle of 20 20.

We did in the end, and boy was that a painfully sickly hangover afterwards

Hooch has been gradually phased out by Coors in the UK though I think it may linger in some student bars.

Two Dogs has various licence agreements around the world but I don't think anyone has a UK agreement for it any more.

The whole alcopops market has been gentrified by Smirnoff Ice etc and is in pretty serious decline. Diageo is launching a bourbon-based product called Slate 30 (might be 20) which is designed to attract slightly older males. That means people aged between 24 and 30.
