Jammie News


Quite forgot, what with all my ranting earlier.  Jammie Dodgers are currently available in vanilla & Vimto flavours.  I'm not yet eating biscuits (the tooth thing), so somebody else needs to try.  They're also 2for1 in Morrisons.

Vimto is a yucky, fruity drink.  I think it is often fizzy, but can also be purchased in squash/cordial format which one adds water to.


Not sure that you guys have squash like that...doesn't still soft drink usually come as a powder or something?

ahhh yeah usually drinks like that come powdered.. like iced tea, lemonade, anything in the kool aid family.. or they come in frozen concentrates. Which despite what my cousin once told me are not just like sorbet. Eating those will turn your face inside out.

Ar.  Another interesting comparison.  


UK: Sprite, 7up, (basically anything fizzy, clear and lemony) = lemonade. 


US: Yellow, still, lemony drink = lemonade


Correct?

Correct Copp,
Lemonade in the US is a sugary drink made from squeezed lemons, water and sugar. It can get really nasty depending on how much sugar is added. In my opinion the less the better, it should be sour.

Fizzy drink such as Sprite, 7up are pretty much just called by their names here. Unless you want to lump them into (Soda, Pop, etc)

There is a whole separate depate on when the correct term is "Soda" or "Pop". It is a mostly regional thing. Northerners and the coasts call it "Pop" while in the South it is "Soda" or "Soda Pop" or for some reason some call everything "Coke" regardless if it is actually Coca Cola or not

Both true and very silly.


Also, let's not forget about Barley Soda, or Hops Pop.

New Yorkers call it Soda - can't speak for the rest of the east coast - but I've never actually heard anyone around here call it Pop.. I always thought that was a midwestern thing. ::
