AIBU to want to buy orange squash in Germany?

[NCasOuting22]

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

Yes because this👎 is so much better than squash and it is made of real oranges.

Monin and Tisserie add too much sugar but that is also the case with British squash. Oasis in France is similar

Sirop and squash are not the same at all. Sirop sinks to the bottom of the glass and has to be mixed through the water with a spoon. It's just different. I'm not sure anywhere else sells squash. I used to struggle to find it in America.

In Canada I have to pay a small fortune for squash that was sold as a cocktail mixer.
Always travel with robinsons minis these days.

REWE and Edeka carry their own brand of Sirups - Himbeere (Raspberry), Waldmeister (like a green Sirup, mainly a kid thing), and some other flavours I cannot remember. If you want orange sirup, some of the more expensive brands, usually located beside these ones, will probably carry it. Also, the Sodastream brand has a good range of Sirups, but given I rarely buy them, I cannot remember what flavours they have.

Aldi, Penny and Norma sometimes carry the Sirups in summer, as probably does Lidl.

Wait, wait, wait. There are powdered or granulated drinks in summer, too, and you might find an orange squash flavour. These are usually located in the supermarkets in the tea section, or in bigger supermarkets like Kaufland and AEX, in it's own section near powdered flavored coffees

In Poland the one above. Nothing sinks to the bottom. There are hundreds if not thousands of Polish shops in UK. Many in America

I've never seen squash in any European country. You can buy syrups and the like but they aren't at all the same. I think it's a uniquely British thing.

Go to Poland and ask for som do rozcienczania

I agree, we love syrop in our house. I prefer Piwniczka Babuni.

Had to google this one @Catza as I didn't know it. As I haven't lived in Poland since 1996, I don't know many small local manufacturers. And those make the best squashes

You'd be hard pressed to find British squash with any sugar in it!!!

Nightmare trying to find squash in the UK without sweetners in it, have to buy really expensive ones online

@soupfiend
Rocks brand?

Yes I get that. But its expensive as I say.

Drinks are ruined in this country. Tried to buy a nice cold can of San Pellegrino today, it had sweetners in it. They dont have that shit in it in Spain and Italy.

I've never been to Germany but struggled to find it in Lanzarote too. Eventually found it in a hotel shop but for about 3x the price. I know it's bad for you but difficult when you have a toddler.

I have to send it to family in The Basque Country. I don’t think it’s a thing abroad.

Why do people get so stuck up about minor things?

It's just squash. Juice and water.

It's nothing offensive.

Waterdrop is powdered squash, tastes very similar to me although I don't drink either myself. You can get it in Germany

San Pellegrino is Italian btw....

Ha. You haven't seen a truly alarming green until you've seen Georgian tarragon lemonade ("tarkhuni".)

They have it in the Netherlands, Belgium and France (it's just called limonade). I think this is the Germans being weird. If you are close to those countries just pop over the border and buy it.

I like Brause Pulver when I’m working in Germany. They definitely do orange ones. Little sachets in amongst the sweets.

Correct

I dont get the post?

I remember having blackcurrant syrup in france as a kid and being amazed by how delicious it was. Not the same as squash but probably a near enough substitute, I mean they both make flavoured water!

It's the one with the most flavour (higher fruit content?) so you end up using a lot less. It is pricier than the others but absolutely worth it.
I am not actually Polish but discovered it by accident and now I am hooked. Well worth investigating your local Polish shop if you have one.
