Junky Beverages that are NOT FruitShoots! Post your alternatives here!

[expatinscotland]

Now my chief objection to FruitShoots is that they taste minging. I mean, boak!

IrnBru and Coke are better.

I LOVE coke.

the crappest drink in the world has got to be those shitty little cup drinks that are either bright red or blue.
or those ones in the pink squashy bottles with the twist off top that you see all over the street.

My children like FS and are not visibly affetced by them but when out and about, I prefer Capri Suns as the packet can be folded away to virtually nothing once the drink has been consumed!

Panda Pops. Total barf imo.

I'd give the bairns Coke or IrnBru before FruitShoot, schneelby, tbh.

DD1's Jock soul lit up when she had her first sip of IrnBru.

oh ffs not fruit shoots again

I do not see why they have become the be-all and end-all of evil

fizzy drinks are the worst for your teeth

i am addicted to pepsimax, i have admitted that before.
i need some, every day!

I love coke - have to have caffine free nowadays, but still drink too much. DD not allowed it though

Fruit Shoots definitely taste awful!

I remember bright blue slush puppy drinks from when I was a child!

But in the spirit of junky bevies, there are alternative to FruitShoots.

Coke doesn't give you that minging aspartame aftertaste.

bring back creamola foam i say!

Slush puppies were awful - especially the bright blue one.

As an alternative to Fruit Shoots, I let DD have Tropicana Go drinks - you still get the little sports top bottle that children seem to like.

I miss Slurpees from 711. Especially the Coke ones.

Actually I blame my mum for my love of coke - it was her craving when she was pg with me! They were less knowledgable back then about caffeine etc! She drank so much of it that she lost all her teeth and my granny apparently said "If you drink much more 'o that the 'wean will come oot black!"

Actually my mum died of stomach cancer so I should maybe stop drinking coke!

ffs

these threads are getting sooooooo old

I like Orangina.It has little bits in it and is a paler shade of orange, so wears the beguiling mask of 'healthy'!

And I like Coke if ice cold, with ice and lemon, but prefer the American or NZ 'clasic' versions as they are not as sweet as the Britih sickly version.

Cadbury's chocolate milk in a carton is gorgeous - but has hydrogenated fat in it!! (so we don't buy it)

What about root beer and dandelion and burdock? And Shandy Bass? And D&G Ginger beer?

Schnee,
She lost her teeth because your gums recede in pregnancy and you're more prone to gum disease.

Fizzy drinks are NOT linked to stomach cancer, so guzzle away .

We used to have Amaerican Cream Soda when little - tried it more recently and it is vile!

Anyone remember Cresta (it's frothy maaaan)?

I loved it - never found anything that gives a similar high! (and have experimented with a few pharmaceuticals in my time).

Cream soda is the boak unless it's ICB.

ICB rootbeer yuuuuummmmmmmm

I LOVE dandelion and burdock!

Yes, and ICB root beer.

Preferably with vanilla ice cream.

Oh that sounds heavenly
