@sockeye@puppy.place @owashii@tech.lgbt @avie@awoo.space @muttmusk@puppy.place I mean, yeah, US Cherry is not... cherry at all really. I still like it tho.
Also the US has cinnamon candies and god i miss those so much from when I visited years back.
but yes Blackcurrant is great, we literally have a dilute drink that is JUST BLACKCURRANT FLAVOUR and it is the OFFICIAL one, as shown by the royal seal/permit on it that means they are the only ones allowed to make it in the UK everyone else has to make Blackcurrant AND apple instead.
@PsyChuan @sockeye@puppy.place @owashii@tech.lgbt @avie@awoo.space @muttmusk@puppy.place Ah okay fact check I'm SLIGHTLY wrong here.
They have the royal warrant for it, which apparently means they supply direct to the royal family and are like... the only one allowed to do so, i do not know why nobody makes just a blackcurrant squash drink otehr than them though, everyone else makes blackcurrant and apple. Maybe because it's cheaper and tastes... similar? But it never quite actually tastes RIGHT y'know?
like cheap-brand cola.
@PsyChuan @sockeye@puppy.place @owashii@tech.lgbt @avie@awoo.space @muttmusk@puppy.place ...for a sec there I thought you were saying that apple and blackcurrant is designed to simulate the effects of a stroke and Iw as like "yo that's maybe a bit strong I mean yeah it's gross but..."
@PsyChuan @sockeye@puppy.place @owashii@tech.lgbt @avie@awoo.space @muttmusk@puppy.place though even Robinsons, which is a company that literally only produces fruit squash drinks and related goods, STILL only does an Apple and Blackcurrant, not a straightup blackcurrant drink, and they absolutely MUST have as much money as ribena. Hmm... wonder if Ribena has monopolised the blackcurrant supply chain or some shit?
