Ok so this is somewhat lighthearted but myself and DH are constantly arguing about who is right.

....how do you make up squash?

One of us puts the water in first then adds the squash
The other one puts the squash in first and then adds the water.

How do you make it up and why do you do it that way? Water first or squash first?

I'm hoping to prove my way is the right way (😬)

I don't want to put YABU OR YANBU next to either as it'll out which way I do it!

Squash first!

MeDearNoDear · 19/07/2020 11:17

Always squash first so you know how strong it is

Laaalaaaa · 19/07/2020 11:18

Juice first

Squash first!

ItStartedWithAKiss241 · 19/07/2020 11:18

I think most people put the squash in first then water.
I put water in first then squash.... I find it easier to make sure I have the right amount of squash:water ratio that way.
My DP makes it the “normal” way but we don’t discuss it or try and change each other’s way of doing it as it’s just squash x

I hate squash but I use cordial which always goes in first.

water first

MrsBungle · 19/07/2020 11:19

Squash first. Dh does water first and it annoys me.

PanickingAtDiscos · 19/07/2020 11:19

Oh sorry - reason why - I guess because putting the water in is a faster stream and therefore helps to mix it all, whereas if you poured the squash in after it would sink to the bottom?

Fleamaker123 · 19/07/2020 11:19

Squash first, otherwise the squash sits at the top of the water and you have to stir it in!

Gingernaut · 19/07/2020 11:20

Squash first, then the splashing water mixes it evenly.

Squash in second means all the squash 'sits' at the top of the mixture and there's almost nothing at the bottom.

PanickingAtDiscos · 19/07/2020 11:20

Pipandmum Aren't squash and cordial the same thing?

CrashingCymbals · 19/07/2020 11:21

Water first here, easier to get the concentration right. DH does squash first 🤷🏼‍♀️

MooneyBadger · 19/07/2020 11:22

Squash first so that you can see how much is going in to the cup.

Anthilda · 19/07/2020 11:22

Water first

Shoxfordian · 19/07/2020 11:23

Squash first

MrsOrMiss · 19/07/2020 11:24

Squash first, you can check if it's too strong after you add the water.
My DH does water first, the sight of the squash sinking to the bottom makes me a bit Hmm but when he sips the obviously weak drink it makes my head explode. What on earth will he do when he reaches the stronger bottom part? Will he add more water as the drink becomes stronger? Does he EVEN NOTICE??? 🤯

Morgana7 · 19/07/2020 11:24

Squash first

custardbear · 19/07/2020 11:26

Squash first as it's less volume, then mixes evenly as you put the water in ....
same with alcohol - a little mixer and lots of booze Wink

Chloemol · 19/07/2020 11:26

Squash first

LittleCabbage · 19/07/2020 11:26

Squash first - mixes better, as above.

Karwomannghia · 19/07/2020 11:27

Squash first to mix it. If it goes in second you’d have to mix it as well.

Squash first, the water comes out of the tap faster than squash out of the bottle and it gets mixed quicker.

DappledThings · 19/07/2020 11:32

Definitely squash first.
