Beat the Fruitshoot Scam

  • If you get them to use the carbonated water rather than tap to dilute the sqash then the kids this that they are getting orange Pop, its cheaper and better. My nephew always has milk at Brewers Fayre but Hungry horse only has plastic shots for coffee and no fresh milk on the premises. So much for healthy eating...

  • When we go out to our local Brewers Fayre (grandparents' choice - we can't stand it) we negotiate with the staff before ordering about the Fruitshoots and whenever they are included in a "meal deal" they get replaced by water or orange juice.

    We came back from France last week on Norfolkline and declined their inclusive fruit shoots with a smile - the man at the till came to our table a few minutes later with some lovely choc chip cookies as a replacement.

    I never liked squash or fruit drink when I was a kid. My son wasn't keen either.
    An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :p :eek::mad: :beer:
    I am no expert in property but have lived in many types of homes, in many locations and can only talk from experience.
  • Oh yes, we always refuse to buy fruit shoots too. Ds and Dd usually have well diluted squash, usually about 40p for a large glass. If we go to Macdonalds they have Milk or Tropicana.
