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.

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.

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

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.

Aldi apple and pear barley for me

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.

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

longtompot · 09/03/2025 23:17

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

invisiblebark · 09/03/2025 23:55

  1. Vimto

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.

isitmeamithedrama · 10/03/2025 01:00

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

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??

ChorusOfDisapproval · 09/03/2025 22:05

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...

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.

@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.

TooFancyNancy · 09/03/2025 20:37

I would agree,

but we’ve also recently discovered aldis high juice in strawberry and watermelon, and peach and raspberry (think they’re £1.10 each) and they are sublime too!

Yes the strawberry and watermelon Aldi juice is amazing!!!

We also drink Aldi bog standard cherries and berries.

Also drink apple and strawberry and apple from Tesco.

And also have just started their own version of vimto which ds loves!

Ionut · 10/03/2025 08:50

Might b tempted to I try these Aldi ones!

I see your squash, and I'll raise you with lemon barley water.

(Blackcurrant, served as a hot drink is a good second).

MajorCarolDanvers · 10/03/2025 09:56

Mango is evil

orange or blackcurrant are my favs

Nobody needs cereal with squash.

I'm a squash addict - much to the chagrin of my dentist. But for me it has to be high fruit orange. I don't like any extra flavours in there - I just want orange.

Mama2many73 · 10/03/2025 10:35

Robinson juice has very little taste and we get shop own quadruple strength!!.
Normally sainsburys apple and blackcurrant and then , for me, plain orange. Rest of the family would agree with uour choice of orange and mango though but I HATE it.

Tesco s apple and blackcurrant is by far the best but I don't shop there very often. Asdas tastes awful, and you can actually smell a 'chemically' when you open it.

okydokethen · 10/03/2025 10:46

Robinsons orange squash is my vice. Always a disappointment when I accidentally pick up orange and pineapple.

SwankyPants · 10/03/2025 10:51

We are orange and mango fans here. DH likes lemon.
And yes DH says it smells like cat pee too 😂

Hot Ribena is good!

EarthyMamma · 10/03/2025 12:00

I had Robinson's Lime and Mint on subscription during lockdown. I was pretty poorly with Covid/Long Covid and drank gallons!
I am now addicted to Ribena Winter Spice. We had workmen in last week and they loved it too.In fact, I had to pick up two extra bottles as they will be back later.

(As an aside, back in the day when I had 8 bottles delivered at a time, one of the guys put it in our recycling bin at the front of the house! Yes, on recycling day, so it was never seen again! The company replaced it but the sheer waste appalled me!. We now have a notice saying that Thursdays are pick up days on the bin)
