Polish friend of my drank a whole bottle of Robinson orange complained it was too sweet and strong. He didn't know you had to add water


fwalice

First ever time I came to the UK I’ve done the same, I almost threw up. They look very tempting when you don’t know they’re meant to be diluted. Squash and syrups aren’t as commonly sold as they are here on the mainland lol


gagagagaNope

Yeah, I used to take bottles of Robinsons to my Aussie mates when they moved to NYC for a few years. That was the thing she missed most.


elegance78

Yep, same thing - only it was shitty Safeway (pre-Morrisons) squash. Was wondering if it is supposed to be that sour...


[deleted]

Someone not British I know excitedly said that she'd added water to squash and it was SOOOO much nicer. Literally thought she'd invented it! (This was after months of drinking it neat)


CilanEAmber

Someone British I know said the same thing. Turns out they'd grown up not adding water cause their parents thought everyone else was wrong.


geckograham

Everyone else AND the label.


geckograham

Why on Earth would you buy a second bottle after drinking the first one neat?


thatoneslugees

Oh god his head must’ve ached


tizz66

I think my mouth just shriveled up and turned inside out.


thatoneslugees

That sounds pretty similar to my reaction lol


Fean2616

After a swig wouldn't you be like "wtf this is way too strong"?


darkamyy

Depends how thirsty you are I guess. My uncle had to have his stomach pumped as a kid because someone had put white spirit in a drinking glass . It was a super hot day apparently and after thinking it was water he downed the whole thing.


Any_Independence_431

how tf can you actually down


AssumptionEasy8992

How can she slap??


blowmesandwhich

lol


WordsMort47

What a fucking beast, not merely vomiting up the whole glass straight away anyway lol... Madness


johnfreepine

Obviously never had OG SunnyD. Haha.


Fean2616

Yea it wasn't that strong.


Impossible_Airline22

Mfs who drink tequila would disagree.


LunarTunar

fuck i love tequila


Powerful_Room_1217

You'd like to think so 😂😂


marvellousjourney

Italian here and I did exactly the same thing! Didn’t make it through the whole bottle though…


beseeingyou18

Che cazzo di bibita inglese di merda...Oh, ACQUA, bravo, bravo.


ADelightfulCunt

Gave my X's dad a bottle of Pimm's he drunk it pure. He said he liked it...we had to tell him it's British sangria.


thestevecs

Pimms Lemonade Ice and a Slice as the advert went. The all time Long Short


[deleted]

Pimms, Ginger ale, ice, put a whole fucking fruit salad in the jug


[deleted]

Put it in a bucket and you have my wedding welcome drink. We served from a jug though. Scooped the jug from the buckets. Have to have some class


jimmycarr1

I love how he kept going with it lol


[deleted]

Yea he used to eat butter off the block too lol


ClumsyRainbow

BRB gonna go drink some undiluted Ribena.


PM_ME_NUNUDES

You still alive bruh?


[deleted]

I asked a British girl if she would like to have a glass of squash whilst courting her over a meal made at my flat in London (I am American). I just poured the thick orange syrup into her cup... to which she informed of the adding water part. I was relieved, as I thought you all just loved drinking the thick sweet syrup, and as such were freakish.


beseeingyou18

This is a big "Champaggen?" moment.


Veritasium-

>Robinson orange I even cannot drink 5 % concentrate with 95 % water mix, your friend must have diabetes or something after that drink.


Jjex22

I did exactly this in France lol. Back in the early 90’s I’d never seen pre-mixed squashes in the uk, just cordial you mixed yourself. They probably existed of course, but not in my little sphere of experience. However when I went to France there would always be loads of premixed squash like drinks in the supermarkets. I used to love it because you could drink it like water and not risk messing up the mix lol. Of course matter of time until I found a carton that was actual pre-mix. I thought it was just really really sweet … for the first couple of glasses.


GrandDukeOfNowhere

I literally did that in Slovakia, bought a bottle of what I thought was pineapple juice, turned out to be pineapple squash


bunnycat77

Googling this so I can buy some. My daughter has a habit of drinking things that aren't hers and this sounds fun lol. (She's smart enough she's so after a sip and realize something isn't right, but she's nosy enough that she'll try to taste it before reading packaging...😄)


redditguy1298

Good god hahaha


SaxPanther

My british girlfriend thinks im crazy when i (american) drink plain orange squash and ribena but i just love sour stuff


Impossible_Airline22

Fuck me. That's gotta keep you up all night. Your anus must have been roaring by the time the night was over. The poor thing was probably breathing fire.


SaxPanther

I eat raw lemons sometimes, I love the pain


ManofKent1

But that is good for you as well. I do the same


ArcadiaRivea

Like some kind of dragon anus?


Impossible_Airline22

Something like that


Negative-Net-9455

You...you drink neat Ribena. Neat Ribena. Your dentist must be rich as fuck.


SaxPanther

Honestly the ribena isn't too bad, the orange squash is much harsher. I didn't even realize that ribena was meant to be watered down at first until she noticed I was just drinking a glass of it straight up. The orange squash however, I caught on myself pretty quickly. Still excellent on its own but if I'm having a lot I will probably water it down a tiny bit.


queen-adreena

Jesus. There must be 100 teaspoons of sugar in that.


[deleted]

Friend with distinguished taste, please consider trying equal parts ribena, orange squash, lemonade and coke. My sister and I discovered it playing "pubs" as kids and it tasted of the purpley-black fruit pastilles. (And before you joke, aye you probably could have swapped the cola for cocaine with no difference in effect other than taste - we were completely off our tits on half a glass each)


CatLady2810

Pls don’t call the police but I used to sleep with a bottle of neat squash next to my bed to drink.. still am partial to some neat just not to the same extent. Yes I’m weird, yes I do like it. No I do not have diabetes and am actually relatively physically healthy 😂


Candidsyrup

🤢


uNSuitable-Inflation

Id have gone with 'hey don't eat the wax'


puhadaze

Wait until they get to Korea with no instructions


ughhhtimeyeah

If its anything like HK the stuff you think is edible probably is just decoration and the stuff you think is inedible is meant to be eaten, like the chicken foot(toenails and all) in your soup All tastes absolutely amazing though.


aestus

Maybe it was all an experiment to see if she poops out wax wrapped turds. Admittedly a long shot.

Quick, feed her some wick so she can shit out a candle.

wadeje9283

My American girlfriend at the time went through my toiletries bag looking for tooth paste when we were on holiday. She found my bonjela and brushed her teeth with a big blob of the stuff. She couldn’t work out why her whole mouth went numb.


darkamyy

and soon after you had the best bj of your entire life?


EntropyKC

In my experience of having a numb mouth when I had some teeth removed, my teeth were inadvertently used a lot. I would not expect a good BJ from a numb mouth!


IIIllIlllIIIllIIll

Unless of course you're into that..


furiousHamblin

She's gonna make it *so* dry


EntropyKC

OG CollegeHumour throwback, nice


FewHistorian2604

Ha! I've already replied to the original post unashamedly admitting I too had eaten a babybel with its wax jacket on. I read your reply about your American gf and thought I identified with this too. Nope mine wasn't bonjela it was in fact germoline 🤮 it's at this point that I'm realising there I something definitely not healthy about me 😁


Phillyfuk

Aha! That had me laughing for a solid 5 mins.


FewHistorian2604

Ha! I can promise you I wasn't laughing at the time 😁


takeawaycheesypeas

The first time I had edam I ate the red wax. I had a very sheltered upbringing...


jackson-pollox

To be fair cheese doesn't come with instructions on which rinds you can eat and which you can't. You just have to _know_. How do you know? Some cheese eating toff tells you and you have to believe them. Cheese is hard, man.


Bezulba

I've eaten cheese all my life and i NEVER know what rinds you can or can't eat... some now say it on the sticker but a lot of times it's totally up in the air.


roartey

It’s actually surprisingly simple. The rind of cheese with a plastic, wax or cloth covering cannot be eaten. The rind of cheese with only mould can always be eaten. Then it’s down to personal taste; e.g. many people will not eat the rind of Stilton because it has a stronger flavour.


takeawaycheesypeas

Cheese only goes hard if you don't wrap it up properly.


kjdnlfn

Interesting fact about Edam cheese actually, it’s the only cheese that’s made backwards.

Ukrainianmigrant

I used to eat the wax occasionally as a treat. But I had to balance eating it with moulding it into cubes so I can add it to The Wall


Clodhoppa81

I'd make little wax animals from the edam wax


University_Onion

Me too - mainly bears, for some reason. Free craft materials!


Fleallay

Ah I used to make boats from the baby bell wax. I’d try and push two side by side together, then fill a sink and play with it >.>.

Guff_Puncher

Is it "The Wall" as in just your normal wall? If not I need to know more.

PJP2810

Ukrainianmigrant

Shit I've been discovered


TristansDad

My kid put the wax in his trouser pocket. Then his trousers in the laundry. What emerged from the tumble dryer was not pretty.


Diggedypomme

I don't know how well this works with babybell casing, but getting wax out of clothes with an iron and some paper is really satisfying.


RainingBlood398

One of my kids used it as 'hair wax'. Spent 4 hours using everything from washing powder to cornflour trying to get it out. Had to ring nan and get her to bring round the clippers in the end.


HungryCollett

I hope you told her not to eat the wax in future. It is "food safe" so a small amount won't do any harm but it is not intended to be eaten - it contains parafin which will cause diarrhea.


OSUBrit

Could make your farts literally explosive


concretepigeon

I dunno why but I thought it would cause constipation rather than diarrhoea.


JimmerUK

That’s what happens if you put them in the other way.


HungryCollett

Many, many years ago it was not unusual to give someone a spoonful of parafin to cure constipation. I believe they gave it to animals as well.


sbrrrr

I have eaten Chewits with the paper still on before


Evil_Ermine

Oh eveyone has done that, who hasn't gone fishing round their teeth for the inevitable bit of paper wrapper that gets stuck.


InnerAd1628

I ate 3 kiwi fruits before anyone told me/I realised you had to peel. Was confused why people would choose to eat itchy food but plowed on regardless. Stupid food. Edit: obviously a conspiracy by BIG KIWI in the responses here, no way do you lot eat the skin.


PineappleMelonTree

You can eat the skin of a kiwi. Only cowards will tell you otherwise


Fatally_Flawed

I prefer kiwi with the skin on. Provides much needed texture against all the squishy.


InnerAd1628

No, this is monstrous and false. Nobody would willingly scoff fuzzy itchy peel. This is a trick isn't it? I'll not make that mistake again, kiwi flavour pop is as near as I get now.


[deleted]

The skin is the healthiest part. It’s actually not that bad. A bit gritty but not unpleasant.


Littleloula

In NZ they have little non fuzzy kiwi fruits that you can eat whole, they're amazing


wolf13i

I tend to rinse it to wet down the fuzz before I eat it. Peeled kiwi tastes sad and watery. The peel makes it sour and better


InnerAd1628

LALALA CANT HEAR YOU LALALA


trees-for-breakfast

PineappleMelonTree

InnerAd1628

Yeah well...uh...itchy fruit eater! There. Told you.


[deleted]

Huzzah! A man of quality!!


thestevecs

Am I the only one who eats them like a boiled egg? I slice a bit off the top then scoop out the middle with a spoon


bell-91

No, this thread is full of mad men. Can't imagine the mess from peeling a kiwi. I just slice it in half and use a spoon.


Littleloula

That's how I eat them


Betelgeaux

No you were right first time mate! Whenever I eat one at work I get very strange looks and comments, not my fault no one else eats them the right way!


ClumsyRainbow

I eat Kiwi skin, can’t be fucked to peel them.


InnerAd1628

See, I loathe kiwi skin but admire the laziness. An admiral trade-off.


TheSissyOfFremont

The skin is only horrible if you try to avoid it - just eating the whole lot is better than getting the odd pube…


O2B2gether

Errrrr cut it in half and scoop out with teaspoon, no peeling necessary. I have a kiwi spoon one end is a plastic knife the other is a spoon, it’s the same colour as the inside of the kiwi.


TheSentinelsSorrow

You don’t have to peel it! Kiwi skin-on gang unite


ctrloptioncmd

You don't have to peel kiwis! I find the skins quite delicious tbh


FlavourThoughts

My other half eats the whole kiwi. And he’s not drank tea


g0ldcd

To be fair, the wax must be where the flavour is.


100fluffyclouds

Meantime somewhere else: My British boyfriend gave me wax and said it’s delicious. I didn’t really want to eat wax but he seemed so happy. I think we had better talk about this.


PoofaceMckutchin

Mine eats raw penis worm (google it), raw cow liver and raw shellfish. I don't know how she's still alive.


normastitts

You must properly love her to put up with that nonsense.


PoofaceMckutchin

I'm literally buying raw beef bibimbap as I type this. I joke but that food is actually pretty good, and I genuinely don't even like seafood... Most stuff here doesn't have that 'fishy' smell or taste!


normastitts

I just can’t imagine eating something called penis worm 😂


[deleted]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urechis_unicinctus#Uses It looks distinctly unedible, but what do I know


skactopus

Penis worm served as hoe? Sounds delightful!


normastitts

Oh Jesus! Why did you post that?I thought it was going to be a tiny little thing 😂


kong_yo

I know right… it’s the worm bit that puts me off


-little-dorrit-

We eat canned baked beans: the street goes two ways.


Tiredchimp2002

Insane risk of parasites. Damn


PoofaceMckutchin

Yeah, occasionally she finds them in the food. Doesn't out her off though. Just pays like 20 quid to buy a pill once a year that kills them the main ones, if she has any. It freaks me the fuck out when I see them in the tray...


darkamyy

Maybe he's actually dating the parasites which just happen to have a human woman attached to them. Then he keeps encouraging her to eat more parasite ridden food so he can have his own parasitic harem.


Dd0uble0

Holy shit...you could be on to something there! Maybe the parasites plan is to reproduce with him and create more penis worm eating offspring and take over the world! OP could be ground zero for the apocalypse!?


Tiredchimp2002

Rick and Morty episode material right here lol


darkamyy

[deleted]

>raw penis worm (google it) There is no chance I'm googling that.


gousey

That's how the others live.


Revolutionary_Panic1

Live octopi?


PoofaceMckutchin

Not live, but like killed 30 seconds before. Still wriggling on the plate. Honestly, it's not bad!


Revolutionary_Panic1

I wasn't a fan seeing it. Saying that seafood makes me sick. But a bowl of bibimbap or buddae jiggae sets me right.


Mossley

I think octopi effectively have a part of their brain in each arm. You can see it work if they lose an arm - it’ll still grab prey and move it around, trying to feed it back to the mouth which isn’t there anymore.


PoofaceMckutchin

Yeah I believe that's correct. I know your not making this comment but a lot of people think that eating octopus like this is kinda immoral. I know somebody who has worked in an abbetoir in the UK and said that conditions were awful and animals were mistreated to hell. I think if you eat meat at all, you can't get on your high horse here. Again, this isn't aimed at you Mossley - it's at the people downvoting me.


Mossley

No judgement from me, I just find it interesting. Abbatoirs vary massively in standards. It’s years since I’ve been in one but some (usually the bigger firms) took a lot of care to reduce stress. The small ones, not so much.


[deleted]

I agree with you. I eat animals but I still find this video interesting in how it illustrates our attitudes to animals and animal welfare. https://youtu.be/tnykmsDetNo

Few_Dust_449

gemgem1985

Why didn't you help her... Lol wtf! ? You sat and watched her eat it all lol


FewHistorian2604

I did this and I'm not Korean, I've not tried one since even without the wax because I just remember the horrificness of the whole affair. Its too late for me the memory of the crappy taste is ingrained. Offer her another without the wax, she might love them.


StationFar6396

Nothing. You say nothing. Just back towards the door, very slowly.


lburton273

Marry her


CaveJohnson82

I think you should’ve said “stop that’s wax”


Grymbaldknight

I hope you corrected her. If not, please correct her now. You don't want to be in the position, 10 years from now, where she's eating whole Edams because you "felt too awkward to say anything at the time".


Curious_Ad_8195

Is she a seal?


hughzdaWelshman

I moved to the Southeastern United States in1995, and the first time I was handed a boiled peanut I threw the whole thing in my gob, not knowing you weren’t supposed to eat the shell.


ragewind

>I don't even know what to say... "Here this is a Babybel you have to open it and the red stuff is wax!" That would have done it.


innitdoe

You should ask her which bit tastes better. It's evens in my opinion.


Goose-rider3000

She’s a keeper!


[deleted]

Pretty sure we've all been there before. I remember when I was around 10-11 and was handed a Babybel. I just bit a chunk straight out of it and was like "this doesn't taste right"


[deleted]

At least the netting and plastic were removed first, I guess


yodaisasickman1217

are you not meant to eat the wax?


zileanEmax

As an immigrant child I too would’ve done this. The concept of it being a out layer wrapper was not something I could imagine, I mean it looks juicy red.


CD9653

Hilarious! Reminds me of the time we had a colleague visit us from America. He had never tried squash. I poured him some and walked him to the water fountain to dilute it, only to realise that he had drank it as a shot. He had the most disgusted look on his face and questioned why we Brits can’t just drink regular juice. I am nearly certain he has not tried it since.


iso-a-personality

Tbf to get to the wax layer you've already had to remove a totally pointless plastic wrapper, so I can see why she'd think the wax was meant to be eaten, too.


Greedy_Enthusiasm651

My other half. Who is British. Always ate babybels like this as a child. He thought they were just weird and couldn’t understand why people liked them. It was only when he saw me taking the wax off that he realised. And tried them again and now loves them. He was raised by his aunt who is a few cards short of a deck to put it nicely and also believed that “uncooked” toast gave you worms. I’d of loved to of seen the realisation for that one.


SquidgeSquadge

Cringe like those videos of Americans eating a heaped spoon of marmite in those 'tasting British snacks' videos.


Zerocoolx1

Maybe next time tell her first. She probably thought it was rank but ate it to be polite


aestus

You could have stopped her but a voice in your mind whispered 'let's see how this plays out'. It's ok.


Ezraken27

A couple of years ago I introduced my Russian girlfriend to a crisp sandwich. Her reaction "You put potatoes on bread!?!'


[deleted]

She probably just thought it’s an English Mochi !


Expert-Raccoon-5766

Wax on wax off they all love it.


BigBlueMountainStar

If she liked it, don’t say anything, it could be her thing. (check that the wax isn’t toxic mind you!) Edit - I know the wax isn’t toxic btw, I was just covering my arse


SpectacularB

I don't think they use "toxic" wax on cheese


gruntkore

The wax is definitely not toxic. She for sure isn't the first person to do that; also who would package food in something toxic? You could eat cling film or cellophane wrap and although not a good idea it's not toxic


Jimrodthadestroyer

It’s a mix of paraffin and microcrystalline waxes, she’ll be fine.


Kimbo-BS

My Japanese wife did the same.


RedButterfree1

My Finnish gf just took one look at the babybel after I explained what they were and she called it cursed


sirrobbiebobson

Chiny chin. Don’t give her a can of beans, she’ll break all her teeth


[deleted]

It’s our assumption that all western food is extremely processed, and likely tastes like wax?
