Following on from Charla's brilliant idea in the General Section for an Orange Milkshake, I was wondering what kind of soft drinks you lot like?

I love ginger beer, or lime, particularly when it is mixed in with vanilla ice-cream. :-)

Pineapple juice or smoothies. I don't like anything fizzy. I like J20 as well, I often drink that in pubs.

No. Is it not fruit juice? I've never actually drunk one (the name puts me off, it's a stupid pun), but I was sure they were mostly fruit juice.

Bollocks.

I quoted the wrong post, I should have quoted Viv's post that said she'd never heard of them.

But then, what's with the J ? Surely it would have been B20, with b = Britvic (the makers).

Oh, of course. You're smart, aren't you, noticing that.

J20 is very good!
I don't really do fizzy drinks either unless it's Pellegrino. Other than that, tea or juice.

Apple and Mango J2O is best.

Also, I'm sure it's J2O, not J20 (with a zero) because that would make it J Twenty and also the play on H2O wouldn't work? In the same (but totally opposite) way that the film Halloween H20 should be pronounced Halloween H Twenty because it's a film set twenty years after the first one, not a film about halloween water.

J2O is incredibly sweet though. I prefer proper juice.

That's why I like it, I have a super-sweet tooth. When I drink alcohol it's usually WKD, which has so much sugar it rots your teeth just by looking at it.

I once drank 7 smirnoff ice (white version) when these guys were promoting it in the bar I was working in. I threw up so muh it hurt, so sickly sweet.

Haha, I don't think Smirnoff Ice is that sweet.

I have a very sweet tooth as well, but I tend to keep it to puddings and sweets. I like J2O, but I don't like sweet alcoholic drinks so much.
