Basically I remember this alcopop from approx 15 years ago & not seen it since. It's flavoured alcohol like WKD but on every bottle they told a little fictional story about how the mixture of fruits etc were found to make the unique flavours. I remember one story being along the lines of how this guy was stranded on a desert island with nothing but these certain fruits etc & this is how this certain flavour was invented. Any ideas please?

I used to work in an off licence and think I remember it, but can't remember the name...

Does Jammin' ring a bell? I remember a purple bottle I think.

The pseudo-Caribbean drink, Jammin’, in fact was made by a company in Exeter called Spilt Drinks. A company that by 1997, had gone into liquidation. In the UK, there was a crack-down on alcopops. Fruit-flavoured, wine-based spirits that made alcohol taste and look like a kid’s soft-drink - was not so palatable among parents and Mary Whitehouse-types.
