Alcopops

A huge furore erupted when lemonade-flavoured alcopops like 'Two Dogs' and 'Hooch' hit the shelves in 1995.

Sweet, syrupy, and tasting nothing like alcohol, they appealed to - shall we say - less mature palates.

Soon there was a myriad of new drinks, including Alcoholic Grapefruit, an alcoholic cocktail with Irn Bru and even Alcoholic Milk.

The brewing industry protested in vain that it wasn't picking on the kiddies but was forced to re-brand the items to be less appealing to young people.

Eventually, children were driven back to drinking cider and Creme de Menthe.
