ReZourceman Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 from TescoA 1 litre carton of Tropicana Original with juicy bits (because it's a sin to drink it without I can't stand for this shit. Bits don't belong in Yoghurt (unless its a Corner....then you control the flow/digestive chunks don't count as "bits) or juice. If I wanted bits I'd eat the fruit itself. I hate the feeling of crappy straggling bits down your throat. (awaits misquotation) But seriously though, they don't add to flavour....they effect the drink negatively in texture terms...what could anyone like about this?
Jav_NE Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I love the bits. I like how it feels when you drink it, its tingly and delicious. Plus you get a sense that you're actually having real juice squeezed from the fruit and not just concentrate.
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) I kid you not brother, I was considering the same course of action in making this topic. But I concur, bits are awful. Drinks are meant to be smooth and pure liquid, not with weird soggy bits flapping around like dead insects. ON A SIDE NOTE! Soup I can accept, because you see the massive chunks of chewy chicken [i don't eat any other soup] await to be nibbled on. Bits in juice swim around like pale ghosts, serving no purpose but to brush past your gums and make you feel weird. Edited March 23, 2009 by EEVILMURRAY
Guest Captain Falcon Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm a no pulp kinda guy myself and I certainly don't have yogurts that have the bits in either - it has to be smooth as and you don't get that with bits in. Plus bits are likely to get in your teeth and that really annoys me.
Goafer Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I don't like the bits either. But what about slush puppies? They are awesome and a bit "unsmooth"
Ganepark32 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I think you're wrong. I think bits, especially in juice, do add to the 'experience' and enhance the flavour. It creates an uneven texture that feels better on the palate, for me anyway. I can easily drink both kinds but I just prefer to have it with bits because I enjoy it as such. And plus, the bits come as a result of squashing and by not putting them in a drink it's a waste as they still contain vitamins and such that are useful to ingest. It really just comes down to preference but as I've said, I prefer to drink it with bits but I also like to drink it without. I'm a big fruit juice drinker (said carton of tropicana will last less than 30 minutes in my possession) so I mix drinking bits and no bits. Just depends one what I can get. But as far as Tropicana goes, Sanquinello is godsend and one of the best.
D_prOdigy Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) I think chewing the little bits of apricot in a Ski is one of the finer experiences in life. Edited March 23, 2009 by D_prOdigy
The fish Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm a smooth man myself, but sometimes, in things like Orangena, the bits make it that little bit special. For straight, no-nonsense juice, I like it bit-free.
ReZourceman Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 I don't like the bits either. But what about slush puppies? They are awesome and a bit "unsmooth" They fall into the subcategory of frozen drinks so are allowable. However, FCB (frozen carbonated beverage) > Slushs. They are a lot smoother and the flavour is more evenly distributed, and it goes down easier.
Dog-amoto Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I agree that bits in fruit juice are pretty disgusting, but bits in yoghurt should be compulsory! These are my favourite yoghurts - they're like the stuff you used to get from the milkman
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 but bits in yoghurt should be compulsory! Fuck no! Munch Bunch would never be the same again. Although they seem to have ruined the franchise with this Munch the Cow, I feel we should petition to bring back Andy Apricot and Rozzy Raspberry et al.

Although they seem to have ruined the franchise with this Munch the Cow, I feel we should petition to bring back Andy Apricot and Rozzy Raspberry et al. YES BROTHER! WHAT THE FUCK IS MUNCH THE COW?! I don't understand how they can do this. It is CALLED Munch Bunch. MUNCH FUCKING BUNCH. What kind of relevance does that have to the Yogurt if the mascots have been replaced by a bitchy little irritating cow?! DESTROYING MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD YOU KNOW. PS all you bit lovers are worse than the devil IMO.
Charlie Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 No bits in juice (apart from Orangina, but they don't really count), ever ever ever ever ever. And bits in yoghurt? Eww, yoghurts are bad enough to begin with!
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 YES BROTHER! WHAT THE FUCK IS MUNCH THE COW?! I don't understand how they can do this. It is CALLED Munch Bunch. MUNCH FUCKING BUNCH.

To a large group of children.
ReZourceman Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Also the cow talks, which is sending all kinds of mixed messages.
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Just found this: http://www.randomlinkage.com/?p=1042 "hey embodied the different cultures and beliefs of the globe, oranges and strawberries getting along together, despite their differences."
jayseven Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Personally, I don't mind bits in my juice. Extra nutriants, and all that - but I'm not a big can of yoghurts as it is, and the bits in those tend to feel... well the texture is all wrong. I feel like I'm squeltching on a miniature human's internal organs.
weeyellowbloke Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Fully agree with the Much Bunch arguement, I used to insist on getting those yoghurts when I was little purely because of the characters. Although I am now wondering why the orange was Mexican. Michael Inpong, Marketing Director at Munch Bunch said: “Munch Bunch has gone back to its storytelling roots of creating a relationship with children based on fun and friendly characters. Munch the Cow is a great new addition to the Munch Bunch family and we feel strongly that the new packaging visuals support the key natural ingredients of milk and fruit. We’re also very conscious that parents are increasingly worried about the ingredients in foods for their children so we’ve made it easier for them to access all the key nutritional information about our products on-pack.†Bollocks. As for bits, I love bits. Having bits is like the bonus extra feature of juice. The hidden detail in your favourite drink placed just for the fanboys. The special guest cameo appearance of your favourite actor....in your drink. The hidden unlockable weapon...... Ok, I'll stop the tenuous metaphors now. Edited March 23, 2009 by weeyellowbloke
Ashley Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (Because it has to be said, "bits" just makes me think of a euphamism for genetalia) That being said, I prefer smooth.
Pookiablo Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm a fan of either, but to all you no bits lovers out there, be proud for I have just purchased some Petit-FILOOOOOOOOOOOOOUS!
Molly Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 The bits in Tropicana are The Daddy. Lock the thread :p PS all you bit lovers are worse than the devil IMO. WHY I OUGHTA.....
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm a fan of either, but to all you no bits lovers out there, be proud for I have just purchased some Petit-FILOOOOOOOOOOOOOUS! God I hate that little French girl in those adverts.
Kirkatronics Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Im indifferent, i like both. Its nice to have a bit of texture to it sometimes, like sometimes you just want a thicker drink. They make me feel less hungry.
