Sleepover ya 55bob sounds funny

Those days there were sachets of all manner. The most popular was Popov ams Meakins. Moi later tried to ban them in 1998 but it proved impossible. We used to call them Minipacks

That midget alikua mambo mbaya. Apart from that, he killed some of his girlfriends/ wives then buried them in his bedroom.

This shots were just out of this world.

Tusker should be 350/= it is undervalued at 270/=

Hapa mtaani it ranges from 300-350 depending on the pub.

Una Kumbuka tree top. You drink but unaskia suffocation flani kwa chest.

If left alone to settle in a bottle for a long time, the sugar sediments settled at the base of the bottle. That sh!t was concrentrated as fvck.

Later came some South African juice concentrate called SUPER DIP and SUPER SIP. One sachet of 10 Grams could make a drum of juice. It was later banned in 1994 after a kid died after consuming that sugary powder like glucose.

Kusema ukweli we are very lucky to be alive today. Chemicals tulikunywa late 90s to early 2000s sio mchezo…yet sai akina @Yuletapeli @Simiyu22 na @Ndindu wanapea sisi lecture ati 5 tuskers a week ni kua alcoholic!! Poolers tulikunywa tukiwa highschool…napoleon ikawa the drink of choice first year hadi 2nd year. Later we upgraded to Kenya cane and Safaricane…mnamaliza 750ml in 1hr mtu mbili alafu unaingia club unashika tusker mbili hadi asubuhi. And that was from Fri to Sunday evening pale Tacos ama Ibiza kimathi street…na sijataja bhangi ni mihadarati zingine…Monday na Tue mdomo bado inanuka hizo fumes za napoleon
