To be fucked off with Robinson's new fruit creations squash!

[cushioncovers]

Disclaimer. First world problem. Light hearted.

Got super excited at the new peach & raspberry fruit creations squash that Robinson's have brought out only to buy some and find out its main fruit content is fucking orange. I hate orange squash. 16% orange and only 2% peach & 2% raspberry.

Phoned their helpline this morning to moan I know I'm a sad fecker but it's shut until Monday.

I just checked as I have both bottles.

Old Strawberry & Kiwi - 5% strawberry, 3% kiwi, 2% apple.

New one - 13% Apple, 4% strawberry, 3% kiwi.

The obnoxious child in the ad is by far the most irritating thing.

I've just been duped by Morrisons failing to anounce that their High Juice now contains sweetners. I checked the label after I wondered why it now tastes like soap

Any suggestions on squash that only contains sugar before I have to go to a third supermarket (I already can't buy soya free bread and oat milk in the same supermarket)

No Waitrose within at least 15 miles either.

Trashboat 😅

I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to do that. There's laws on what you can call products according to the ingredients.
They have to be in order of largest amount first. So if there's more raspberry than peach in the drink, it has to be called raspberry and peach squash.
If there was less orange than peach and raspberry in if, then they'd be allowed to not mention it. But seeing as it's the biggest ingredient it should be called orange, peach and raspberry (like orange,lemon and pineapple).
Might be worth googling the relevant stuff for when you call and complain.

It's also a fantastic laxative!!

Is it??? I never knew. MIL drinks it neat, I daren't think what that does to her.

@Whatshallidonowpeople People buy squash because they like the taste of it. Nobody buys it under the illusion that it's a liquid salad. Yawn.

That would piss me off too OP. I commend you for your fight and will gladly retweet anything should you decide to annoy Robinson's by power of social media.
I a) hate orange squash and b) it gives me God awful migraines
So to get home and find out it was disguised orange squash would have me ranting for hours.

To be fair Robinson’s isn’t the only company that does this. Most fruit drinks are ‘named’ with their predominant flavours - look at Innocent smoothies, most of them have a base of orange or apple or something but that isn’t in the ‘name’ of the smoothie.

Allergies aside (which is obviously a different issue), does it really matter if it contains orange as long as it tastes of peach and raspberry? Wouldn’t bother me anyway.

Innocent smoothies and fresh juices in general are sneaky bastards ALWAYS check the ingredients of a juice or smoothie. Orange apple and banana are common bulking fruits for them. Apple juice also often contains lemon juice as well.

Quietly chuckling at drinking tears from the Virgin Mary

OP, does it taste of peach and raspberry? Or does it taste distinctively orangy?

@Whatshallidoknowpeople - stop being such a snob!

And what happened to the cola and orange one? I loved that!

Yanbu. We bought one and it's rank rotten. Its something like orange mango and lime. The lime taste in it is disgusting.

I thought that flavour sounded lovely when I saw the advert (boy is annoying though) so I'm disappointed too OP.

Elderflower and pear is nice, though never heard of it being laxative?

Bottle Green cordials are lovely and full of sugar with no artificial sweeteners, I am currently loving the Plump Summer Raspberry one.

Sweeteners can have a laxative effect. Google sugar free Haribo...

Ah - it’s the sweetener rather than the elderflower that’s laxative? Have previously read the sugar free gummy Amazon review!

@Urgentscurryfunge

Ribena is the only one that is sugar. The only one I buy that is.

I buy Jackson Champion bread from either Morrison’s or Waitrose (Waitrose is cheaper) no soya flour. The only bread I can eat tons of with no repercussions.

As an aside, elderflower cordial is rather nice especially with gin.
I got excited then saw no added sugar- cue huge sweariness in tescos. If it's for adults let's us make the choice.

Yup it's the sweeteners

I just checked Robinsons "pineapple mango and passionfruit" and that's also mainly orange

I emailed Robinsons earlier to ask they consider changing their labelling due to allergen risks. I'll post my reply when I get it.
