AIBU to want to buy orange squash in Germany?

Is orange squash not a thing in Germany? Does anyone know what I should be buying? Or, a supermarket with a British section that has Robinsons? TIA

My German friends who live here find squash bizarre and don't understand why you wouldn't just drink water rather than the artificial taste of squash.

With fruit juice as a treat.

So I don't think it's common, I agree with them to be honest, squash is banned in my house cause I find it weird and unnecessary.

But I hope you find something you like!

Go to a polish shop - they have loads of cordials.

It's not a thing at all. You can get syrup to mix with water but that's usually meant for alcoholic drinks. (Our local Edeka have loads of them.)
There's a huge range of flavoured water and fizzy drinks you can get, though. We quite like the Vio Bio Limonade. They've got cheaper versions of that at Aldi, too.

DH is German and when we have visited we have found that they tend to mix actual fruit juice with fizzy water instead, I am not sure I have ever seen cordial there
