Be Excellent To Each Other

Dilute juice tastes nothing like squash and I will absolutely die on this hill.

But not before I watch you drink two pints of dilute lemon juice with a smile.

Isn't diluting juice, pretty much the same idea as diluting already diluted squash?

I'm with Cras, figuratively, not literally or relationshiply.

I dilute squash using juice - that way I get more juice per juice in my drink.

I have literally no idea what the difference is between the two.

One is squash, the other is fruit squeezed into a glass with water added.

Wait, squash is dilute juice isn't it? If you mean Fresh Juice or Fresh juice from concentrate or something then I'm with you, but if they are both things you pour into your glass and then add water (or more often the other way round, so you don't get water at the top and 90% concentrate at the bottom) then I don't know the difference!

I forget that Scots literally call any non-alcoholic drink that isn't water "juice".

Juice, that's juice
Squash, that's juice
Cordial, that's juice
Coke, that's juice

Genius idea, i'm going to try this tonight and report back.

What the fuck.

Wait. WHAT THE FUCK?

You put your water in before the squash, are you insane?

I can't imagine how gently you'd have to pour the water to end up with all the squash at the bottom

SO MUCH WRONG IN ONE THREAD

The ingredients of squash are literally juice, water and sugar/sweeteners, you numpty.

Are you saying orange squash tastes like fresh orange juice?

Aye, that's all juice right enough. But you're forgetting dancing juice, which typically is alcoholic.

I'd say if it's a liquid, it's juice.

No. Orange squash tastes a bit like diluted orange juice. This should not be a surprise, but Craster has decided that they are massively different beasts.

Baby oil

Again, please go drink some dilute lemon juice and tell me it tastes like lemon squash.

Your description might just about work for orange and ape juice but literally no other juice.

(@curio obviously)

Orange and what juice?

You heard me.

Ooh, I could crush an ape!

Juice. What a weird word. Joose. Duce.

Posh people have squash. Poor people just dealt with the confusion in the morning, "juice you put water in or juice with bits in?" We called everything juice or pop, and you know you're not getting anything branded if it's called pop.

Fridge water has so little pressure. I'll take a pic...

Ah no, it's not that, it's when there is ice in the glass and I use the fridge tap.

Do you put the squash in, then the ice, then the water?

Slippy juice

I did then, for the picture. Normally I put the ice in, then water then dilute juice, to stop that weak stuff at the top.

Obv for juices with lower sugar content it needs more sugar to taste the same. But for the majority of them I bet it’s not far off. Certainly not vastly different.

And I would be well up for drinking dilute lemon juice.

Thrice I say thee pish, Sir.

People up here will often call squash 'diluting juice' (i.e. the type of juice you dilute before drinking) and I thought when Craster was saying "dilute juice" in his post it was a form of that; which left me wondering how he was contrasting it with squash. I see now he was actually referring to Curio's fucking batshittery so I withdraw my confusion.

What do you think squash is made of?

It’s juice, water and sugar.

Apologies if you thought it was made of stardust and unicorn tears

If you're going to the shop, can you pick up a bottle of diluting juice?

Nobody says diluting juice, surely?

I had no idea me liking orange squash would be so controversial.

You must be new here.

I could type 'people up here often say diluting juice' again, would that help you understand that people up here often say diluting juice?

It's not made of freshly squeezed fruit juice with water added that's for fucking sure. What the hell is wrong with you?

Diluting juice

Or that such a load of bollocks could be written in the subject.

Anyone else play the Battlefield V open Beta last weekend? I managed to get Monday night on it after I randomly noticed it existed. It's closed now

Yes, it's yet another online FPS but I thought it was one of the better ones I've played recently. I'll tell you for why.

Small digression first. I was hugely happy when Battlefield Bad Company 2 got put on XBox Gold a couple of years ago, as a bunch of people started playing it again - there were a few months of bliss, but now it's a wasteland of empty servers. BBC2 is without question the finest multiplayer FPS of all time (yes, yes it is. Objectively so). I had many happy evenings blowing buildings up and running around like a joyous loon. There's nothing quite like you and four randos being the last tickets left and then taking down 30 tickets from the red team to win. By collapsing buildings on them. The level design was, without doubt some of the best ever. Arica Harbor will go down in history. The weapons were all meaty and you weren't crippled by not having ground out enough XP to get the "best" weapons.

In essence yes, it's basically a FUCKING GREAT GAME.

So Battlefield V, despite being YET ANOTHER WW2 game, somehow managed to capture a bit of that B:BC2 feeling. It might have been the snowy map I spent most of the evening on being fairly reminiscent of White Pass or Nelson Bay in B:BC2, but it just played so well. I also hugely enjoyed nailing a Tiger with a static AT gun.

895 BOOMs out of 1000.

But literally nobody is saying that?

I said that if you are in a position where you want squash, but have no squash, but do have juice, then diluting the juice is a decent approximation.

It’s not exactly the same, but it’s in the same ballpark. It might be Stella vs your favourite craft beer, but it’ll do in a pinch.

Apparently that is a crazy thing to say, and it’s more like comparing a can of Stella and the concept of ennui.

Monorail.

It's more like telling a kid to eat fruit when they want some Haribo.

Um...



If you are in a position where you want squash, but have no squash, but do have juice, then just drink the juice. Adding water to it gives you...watery juice.

Squash is watery juice, though.

I got enough to go around.
