I just drank some Apple Juice for the first time since god knows when... and seriously WTF @ how sweet this shit is.  How is this even a viable product for human consumption? 

 

lol

So I'm going to free associate here for a second...

I was having a conversation with myself not long ago and started wondering about the following... let's say no one had ever tasted soda before and someone came up to you with a glass of Fanta Orange or Lemon or something and you didn't know what it was supposed to taste like. Would you then be able to identify the taste they were going for or do sodas actually taste nothing like the fruits they're saying it tastes like?

apple juice was invented in the olden days as an alternative to drinking your own piss.

 

really and truly you're meant to leave it for a while until it turns into "cider"

 

all other forms of consumption are incorrect.

Apple juice is shit

back in the day you would get frozen apple juice concentrate in a supermarket and take it home and defrost it and add water

 

 

can't get it any more

 

life sucks

only apple juice worth drinking

 

There are a bunch of good cloudy apple juices available over here, but the clear piss-like stuff I see when abroad is disgusting, on this we can agree.

it's ok frozen too

i prefer cold pressed apple juice. copella is too sugary for me. 

i cant find an image of the one i get when i occasionally want a fruit juice. its a fuckin rip off, 3.60 a litre or something, amazing though. 

Wow, I didn't expect such an outpouring of support over the apple juice thing.  Should have known watmm would have my back.  Now I am kind of curious about this better, cloudier type of apple juice.  I may have to seek it out now.  I did try pear on pizza because of the pizza thread.  Unfortunately the place we ordered it from just wasn't very good in general, wasn't the pear's fault.  But it definitely didn't sell me on it.

2 weeks until All Hallow's Eve and 20/23/20degrees this weekend and today, plus the amber sky all morning was v v strange

 

not that i'm complaining, its just surreal being at considerable altitude walking the k9 y'day in shorts n a t-shirt when, for this time of year, a serious attention to sensible clothing has to be taken into consideration if you dont want hypothermia or get the mountain rescue crews called out & a helicopter hovering over your short-sighted arse

 

not a problem so much as weird as fuck, climate change perks dont really cut it

Used to like the taste and feel fulfilled with apple juice from concentrate morning after a hangover at my old job. One day drank a bit too much AJ and was in so much pain, that stuff is like pure acid. Have to be careful of what I drink due to a stomach ulcer I had a while back.

 

Haven't had it since. (Edit: AJ I mean)

My roommate and I have an extremely thin wall between our rooms. Really makes it awkward when either one of us has someone over late at night...

I had some better quality non-golden-piss style apple juice that happened to be in my friend's fridge last night.  It was borderline pleasant, but still way too sweet.  It was at least sweet in a way that I could wrap my head around, whereas with Sunripe it's almost easier to assume I'm experiencing some kind of tastebud hallucination.  This still qualifies as an FWP because the juice was still so much sweeter than it ought to have been.  But I accept it.

You may have to press your own and add no extra sugar! Pick a bushel in the late Spring/early Summer and see how it goes!

that's part of the fun innit? Say all kinds of things and make them think you're into some satanic shiz.

Cut out the middleman and just use eggs imho.

Keep throwing eggs at the wall until your room is an aquarium of egg juice.

FWP: there doesn't appear to be a word in the english language that refers to all the goo contained within an egg, both yolk and white.

FWP2: there is no word in the english language that refers to a joyful and tragic event occurring simultaneously in one's life.  That would be a good word to have.  How does one go about suggesting new words for a language?  Is that an influential writers/internet hive-mind only thing?

We should start a thread for this, I was thinking of a couple of these recently:

 

1. There should be a word for the sensation of total futility you feel after spending time getting a sheet or blanket perfectly arranged over a radiator, only to watch it begin to slowly slide off

 

2. Likewise for the experience of searching for a specific pornographic video you remember, without knowing the title, knowing that you will never, ever find it (more a feature of my younger days than now, I hasten to add)
