Farmers Union Iced Coffee

[mickey]

I buy my Iced Coffee (regulartory 600ml carton) from Hassans on 4th Avenue at Klemzig for $2.10. I have seen Mobil charge $4.00 for the same.

great place to pick up food & drinks!

Egad, is he still trading!

Was famous 20 years ago for cheapest prices for nearly everything in Adelaide, and his Charity work!

He certainly is still trading, and has the best hotdogs in the country!!!

back to Iced Coffee, the servo on hanson rd has 2 for $3.95

and the carton does have a better taste

Attention AG, attention AG...

They changes the recipe 25 years ago.

Have not liked it since.....

Rather drink water..!

I had one virtually every day for about 12 years, but then became concerned about the fat content so now i'm on the Light or if thats not sold i buy the "Feel Good". Not the same as the Normal Iced Coffee but almost. And would certainly not drink it out of a plastic container either.

that's the name of the stuff I drank...
GWW- it's the sugar/carbs, not the fat content that's the one to watch...

I had a look at the details on the carton (ie figures for fat content etc etc) for the Light and all didn't appear to be as bad as the normal one. I'll have another look at the sugar content next time i get the chance.

I've only had the Strong one once, in order to stay awake during staff training at work

[Dirko]

I drink the "Light" as the suger **** me over...The fat content is bugger all for the amount I drink, suger though....

"Feel Good" makes me feel like shite !!

Punky is correct.

I always found the stuff made me fart something wicked. Nice as it is, these days I stick to the diet coke. Better for the gut and the air quality!

FUIC factoid of the day: Apparently FUIC is one of only 4 regionally-made beverages in the whole world that outsells Coca-Cola in its locality.

I reckon Scotland's Irn-Bru was another one of the 4.

Actually with the amount of crap they put in Diet Coke i wouldn't say its good for anything. Heard quite a few people say that normal Coke is better for you than the Diet variety.

I reckon you're probably right. They have had some great advertising campaigns including one that blatently takes the proverbial out of the US advertising...gold. Made in Scotland from girders...unfortunately it takes like it too imho. These 3 very short ones are brilliant.

To keep on topic...assume this Iced Coffee is classic Aussie and should be added to my list to food/drink to try on the road trip. Is it like a coffee milkshake or something ?

[Footy Chick]

The best coffee milkshake you'll ever taste Jas!

Best hangover cure in the world too...

Yes, put it on the list

Absolutely. No trip to South Oz would be complete without it. As a tourist you will be obligated to buy yours at the North Tce pie cart and wash down a pie floater with it.

Some years ago I visited a mate who had relocated to London. I froze an FUIC and took it with me on the plane, presenting it to him in when I arrived. His initial reaction: "you forgot the Balfours pasty!"

[bulldogproud]

Also an Iced Coffee fan, despite being a diabetic. One of the few treats I allow myself. Btw, I prefer Iced Coffee over any alcoholic drink.
The one South Aussie icon I found it hard to give up but did was Menz Fruchocs. Another product that JAS should try.
Cheers

There is no better lunch, A cornish pasty from Prices Right Bakery, Port rd Welland, a Balfours custard tart washed down with a 600ml FUIC.
I don't like the strong or light version they can't improve on the original.

[JAS]

OK....STOP

I'm not going to be responsible for this going off topic so I've started an 'SA cuisine for JAS to try' thread

Must be a case of being brought up on the stuff and its then just part of you, and having seen the reactions of interstaters when you mention it to them, Im sure its brainwashing as a child.
Lived in NW WA for 2 years and you just couldnt give the stuff away. The Iced Coffee market dominated by Masters 70% and Brownes 29%, rsest 1% and in the Territory its 90% Pauls Iced Coffee (Comes with the Territory, its slogan)

Farmers union iced coffee is good shit!

One every morning before work will make you grow big and strong like me!

Pauls Ice Coffee in Darwin would be another....

[tigersupporter]

according to the advertiser last week the farmers union iced coffee is not even made here..... I couldnt believe that when I read it.

[Bully]

Just a thought on how many of you drink this wondeful drink. How many 600mls have you drunk in one day.? Which one is you fav, Light, Strong or the norm?

My fav is the Norm of course.

Have drunk 4 600mls cartons in one day, had the runs for the next day or so after it but.

What about the Feel Good iced coffee with the brown and yellow package...anyone like this??
