I'm not looking at your posh squashes, like... Pomegranate and Falafel with a mint twist,
Not am I interested in your Robinson's, nor your higher end squashes. They can go away.

I'm talking about bog standard Tesco /Asda/Sainsbury's squash.

Orange & Mango beats all... orange and pineapple in that sort of exotic category cannot compare.

Close second is Cherries and Berries, followed by blackcurrant, THEN summer fruits.

Apple & Blackcurrant can fuck off ...not tasting of ether fruit, just disappointment.

@Ionut I'm not fond of apple + blackcurrant either.

However I'm quite partial to M&S lemon, don't think it has artificial sweeteners in either. It's cheap as well.

Isn’t orange and pineapple the bog standard one?
Orange and mango? Can’t say I’ve seen it. Unless I’ve been reading it wrong 🤣

They look very similar and are often next to each other... Don't make the mistake of buying Orange & Pineapple again. Look closely and you'll see the treat you've missed out in your entire life.

All squash is vile these days. Full of artificial sweetener and not even remotely like fruit. Do grown adults actually drink this stuff? I thought it was just for children!

Yes, you're right. Nobody likes squash, nobody buys it. They just dedicate entire aisles to a product that nobody likes it buys...

Ew. Squash. Do adults drink it? Haven’t drunk it since I was a child and never once gave it to my children.

Your poor children.

Of course adults drink it. Why else would they have squashes marketed to adults?

Why do you think supermarkets have entire aisles dedicated to it??

You are very unreasonable
Asda summer fruits is the best and only one allowed in my house!

CymruChris · 10/03/2025 00:26

Lidl strawberry and apple is the best!

I love squash, it's all I drink during the day, as I don't drink tea or coffee.

invisiblebark · 09/03/2025 23:55

Nah.

Yabu @Ionut as this one is the best squash. I love it in the summer with sparkling water and a sprig of fresh mint 👌Apple & alphonso mango squash

TiramisuTastesDreamy · 09/03/2025 20:57

Cherries and Berries is the best ! I sent back a substituted summer fruits on my shopping delivery the other day 😂

That's just given me a flashback!
When I was a carer I was making some of this up for myself (they said I could use their tap) and the woman I cared for there said she hadn't tried it

I made her some up and her face... I left the bottle with her Grin
A relative did her shopping and because she wasn't online and couldn't get to the supermarket she had no idea what was available now. We ended up sitting with her browsing the Tesco website for new stuff to try

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 09/03/2025 23:13

I think orange, lemon and pineapple is the best squash.

But I also clicked on the thread thinking it would be about Trump.

angelspike · 09/03/2025 23:11

Aldi apple and pear barley for me

Mango must be like coriander tastes awful for some people.

We stayed in Margarita many years ago. They served fresh mango juice at breakfast squeezing out the juice. It was heavenly.

I haven't had orange lemon and pineapple squash since the 80s.

Feel the need to buy it now.

I used to drink gallons of the stuff.

Tesco quadruple strength O,L,P is the dog’s doodas

Let me introduce you to Apple and elderflower. So good with the added benefit that in a glass it looks like water so my kids don’t clock me drinking it.

Yes! #teamapple&elderflower.

No they don't, we are all children posting from under our duvets while pretending to be asleep. Don't tell our parents.

BridgetRandomfuck · 09/03/2025 22:11

Absolutely, orange and mango is the best! Followed by plain orange, then lemon. Don’t like the tropical one, there was a version that used to have banana favouring in it, just 🤢, put me off it totally. Don’t like berry squashes, especially Ribena. Haven’t had barley water versions for years, must try it again…

TeddyOatmeal · 09/03/2025 22:11

Robinson’s apple and pear followed by Robinson’s pink grapefruit

user1471474138 · 09/03/2025 22:03

Asda lemon and lime is the best, closely followed by robinsons pink grapefruit

OrangeSlices998 · 09/03/2025 22:01

The Robinsons lemon and raspberry is the best squash I’ve ever had, I drank litres during pregnancy I craved it so much! Second is freezing cold bog standard orange squash, no mango! 🤮

Tesco Peach. Never buy anything else now.

Same here.

Chuckling at pomegranate and falafel with a mint twist OP 😂

DanielRicciardosSmile · 09/03/2025 21:54

Sunshineandrainbow · 09/03/2025 21:00

I will give it a try, sounds lush.

Current fav is Robinson pink grapefruit 💗

That is gorgeous. Mixed with tonic water it tastes just like Woodys did in the late 90s.

Unfortunately I'm no longer allowed to have grapefruit so my bottle will forever remain half full.

Mango is vile and I will fight anyone who says otherwise!

Agreed!

Mango is vile - orange and pineapple is the best.
