The Saturday 6-Pack

I've never had Kool-Aid so I don't know what it tastes like. Over here we've pretty much always had (other than OJ) fizzy orange like Fanta or Club, basically carbonated coloured/flavoured water; goes right up your nose and burns your chest and gives you tremendous wind, or "diluted orange", like MiWadi or Robinsons or Kia-ora, which is, as it sounds, concentrate to which you add water. It can be very tangy (no pun intended) or it can taste like weak flavoured water, depending on how much water you put in it.

No Orange Crush over there?

Trollheart · 01-31-2022, 01:28 PM

Dunno. Club Orange might be called orange crush, but we don't really use the word. Could also refer to Miwadi and the dilutable ones? Meh.

Actually, now I think of it, we do use orange squash, which is the one with the water added, the concentrate like Robinsons and so forth. Shrug.

I'm guessing that this was either lost on Irish ears or not played at all then.

I thought you were talking about Orange Crush, the soda, not Agent Orange, the napalm.

Now this is Orange Crush

That actually says "Crush Orange" which sounds a little Orange-phobic to me. I had no idea you were a Fruitist. I suppose you think apples shouldn't fall far from the tree either, and bananas should go back to where they came from? For shame!

My lepers have no religion but acknowledge Jebus.
