It is produced in NSW, Australia, and comes in a number of flavours:
- Original
- Mixed Berry
- Peach
- More recently, a limited edition Lemon Lime flavour.
Specifications
Passion Pop, a.k.a. '2buck chuck', is produced by Golden Gate Wines, as are a number of less well-known and similarly priced drinks. Passion Pop is labeled as a carbonated 'passion flavoured' wine, and comes in 750ml bottles. The drink is 9.5% alcohol, meaning that one bottle contains 5.6 standard drinks. Passion pop is consumed directly from the bottle or added in liberal doses to a punch mixture. Because passion pop contains 5.6 drinks, it is not uncommon to drink 2 bottles per person per night, without the aid of traditional glasses. The vessel is particularly suited to drinking when such a container is unavailable.
Passion Pop is a fantastic companion when participating in drinking games, such as the Iron Chef Drinking Game.
Disclaimer
One of the more controversial aspects of passion pop is a disclaimer on the side of the bottle, warning that the drink is "Produced with the aid of milk, fish, egg & nut. Products and traces may remain." The disclaimer has recently changed to "Produced with the aid of milk, fish, egg & nut products and traces may remain." Many speculate that this is merely added as a precaution against legal proceedings, should an adverse reaction occur with one of their customers. The four items mentioned, while unlikely to all be used in the manufacture of wine, are four of the most common allergenics in food. Paradoxically, this causes many people to ignore the warning - some psychologists see this as an example of Golden Gate using NLP (specifically negation) to manipulate customers into buying their product.
