I haven't got a clue about either of these drinks. Perhaps their respective sponsors would like to explain why they nominated them?
I second Buzz's call for explanation. I can't find them in a quick search of the nomination thread so a little help is needed (and no the suggestion that I should get classes would not be helpful).
Red lemonade: Red lemonade is a popular soft drink in Ireland. Lemonade in Ireland comes in two varieties - red and white. Both are officially lemon-flavoured, but there is a marked difference in taste between the varieties. Visitors to the country are often surprised when serving staff ask which type of lemonade a person has ordered. Red lemonade is one of the most popular mixers used with spirits in Ireland, particularly whiskey, including Paddy, Jameson and Southern Comfort. Three major brands of red lemonade exist - TK (Taylor Keith), Country Spring which comes in a three litre bottle, and Nash's. TK is by far the most popular. I wikied it
English classes, maybe ? or just typing skills ? :razz: Red lemonade must be funky, whatever Fernandes is.
nominator See what I do for the sake of Red Lemonade.... Post from work - which is potentially job threatening. The virtues of Red lemonade are far reaching. *strokes imaginary beard and gurns looking off into the distance* A favourite of both young and old folks although in recent years has been relegated to being used as an alcohol mixer – BTW Southern Comfort (or SOCO as that annoying advertisement on the TV calls it) isn’t considered a whiskey here and Powers, Jameson and Bushmills whiskey are usually the varieties of choice. As a child I loved this drink simply because it seemed a little bit different from the usual Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite. The taste is hard to describe but it’s a little bit like ginger ale and a little bit like Irn Bru if that helps – It sort of has a smokey flavour which compliments the taste of whiskey.. I didn’t know a shop like this exsisted but hey.. People will buy anything. (The red Lemonade is the second on the left) Nash's Red Lemonade Ok that’s all I can think to type in this perilous post… Rinso and Jackel – you’re the only other people here who potentially know what I’m talking about…. Or maybe Rinso just imagined he tasted it once.
I think she meant she needed glasses because she couldn't find what she was lloking for, but she typed classes. Not exactly a spelling mistake, more a funny typo. :wink: Senz of humor. I haz it.
Bunch of Xenofobes! Fernandes is, like stated before, a lollipop in a liquid form. (without the stick, obviously). It comes in 5 or six hidious flavours: "Cherry Bouquet" (Red) , "Green punch" (Green), "Red Grape" (Blueish Purple/Purpleish Blue), Cream Ginger (Orange...ish) and Super Pineapple (Bright yellow) The website is slightly less than helpfull and in Dutch: Welcome at Fernandes! - the real exotic softdrink - It does have [-]pretty[/-] pictures It's ingredients, if I recall correctly, are; Water, sugar, artificial flavoring and artificial colouring.
It sounds like I picked right too, red lemonade. I was thinking it might be a bit like what I had last night, it was Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade, I really wanted Hard Lime but I guess the Royal is the place I have to go for that. I put a new bar on my list last night, The American Legion has Karaoke on Tuesdays. So now I know where to go if I'm lonely on Tuesdays. Some people I know from work are there almost every week I was told
The Fernandes looks intriguing but disgusting, whereas the red lemonade looks intriguing and pleasant. Xenophobia doesn't come into it, since they're both foreign to me (Ireland is as English as Portugal is Spanish). Red lemonade it is!
Thanks for pointing out that my typing skills are somewhat lacking, classes / glasses both mean I'm somehow deficient. Anyway, after the explanations given I'm going for Red lemonade...
