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.

"Ribena Winter Spice." Nobody wants a squash that tastes of candles.

YABU
It's obviously the Tesco quadruple strength lemon, made slightly stronger than ideal because you REALLY only need a tiny bit and every damn time I think I need a splash more when I don't.

Pink grapefruit is the superior squash.

Supermarket squash is the work of the devil and more so with disgusting mango added in. Ugh. I’d rather be thirsty. The other flavours you mention sound vile too. Really fake fruit vibe and fake sugary sweetness too.

At a push the only acceptable squash is Orange or Lemon barley water. There is no cereal floating in it.

I used to drink gallons of it.

I'm now partial to Strawberry ribena.

That made me roar!!

I won't be able to drink it without giggling now.
Do you think the workmen think I'm incredibly poncey? 😳😂

Sometimes a glass of squash hits the spot. I tell myself that it's better than fizzy cola

Ionut · 10/03/2025 14:12

all these Lemon Squash lovers, why would you want to be drinking something that smell and tastes like disinfectant day in day out??

Get your self some O&M and never look back!

you can't complain about fake fruit flavours being all fake and gross, and then wax lyrical about Orange and Lemon as if those two are some sort of holy grai of squash. When everybody knows lemon squash is the pits. and your orange flavouring and sweeteners are the SAME orange flavouring and sweeteners in my (superior) Orange & Mango

Ah but I can! The mango is the ultimate clincher here. If you were rooting for good old orange on its own you may have a leg to stand on but polluting it with fake mangoness is ughhh and takes it to a new (lower) level.

Plus you can pretend you’re a Wimbledon star whilst guzzling flavoured barley water.

True. I do like to sit on a chair and wipe my forehead whilst guzzling

  1. orange lemon and pineapple
  2. cherries and berries
  3. orange and mango

Though I’d rather drink coffee til 2 then wine thereafter.

No artificial sweeteners...
