      Also, you’re fucking talking about “flavorings” in mixed fruit drink beverages…

      It’s not the same fucking thing kid.

        Sorry I don’t live in " Teh 'Muricah", brat. In rest of the world we have actul whole juices. No flavourings, no added sugar, in many cases no predervatives even. Just the raw juice fruit.

          Brat??? Lol…

          Guy, you’re the one who started shit in that conversation… And there’s no way you have juices wherever you are in the world with a significant amount of passion fruit juice in it.

            Well, we do have. Unfortunately seems to be a common ingredient. Just because they sell it as premium product wherever you are, doesn’t mean it’s actually rare. It is a common denominator for bitterness in my experience, and no matter how much you think it is not, that is what it tastes for me. People taste stuff differently. Sometimes that difference is complete opposite of someone elses taste.

            The namecalling is a response to your namecalling, as I do not care, nor need to know your age nor gender, as you do not need to know mine, in this discussion of taste. Calling other people “pops” or “kid” is only demeaning, and brings nothikg to the coverstation, and warrant a sililar response.

            [EDIT]: It has come to my attention, that “may pops” is a slang term, not a fruit. Sorry for taking it as an insult. I know better now. Also, no mattet how mucg you love passionfruit, for me it tastes extremely bitter (I could’ve inserted your mom joke here, but let’s not at this time). Though for you it seems the name fits, as you seem to be very passionate about it.

                Oh, my deepest apologies I withrew the mom-joke then. Here you go:

                Bitter as your mom when they found they were expecting you.

                Feel better yet? :)

              To be fair… I think I need to take a deeper dive in to pssion fruit, because I do recall tasting it, and it tasting bitter. But then again, even as I tend to taste bitterness stronger than mybpeers, as that is one of the reasons I don’t like the taste of coffee (even the good one), the common denominator in the juices was pointed out to me by someone, who actually likes coffee, and I’ve never met a person in flesh, who likes passion fruit because of the bitter aftertaste.

              That leads me to believe there is more to it, because it is literally impossible to find a juice here (and to be clear, if it’s not made with 100% juice, it is called “juice drink”, not juice) where the third fruit is NOT passion fruit. There are some extremely rare brands, but it feels like the people making those juices are so insistant on adding passion fruit, that it feels like they’re trying to extend the juice with that. Which then conflicts with an idea that it’s an expensive delicacy.

              This then leaves few options:

              1. the fruit is locally a delicacy, because most of it is exported, and the exported fruits are of lesser quality.

              2. the exportation of those fruits cause them to go bad, but those who buy them in bulk completelly fail to understand this, and think that people want that shit anyways.

              Non the less, this requires investigation, so I can make a more public, local, case to push for lore mixed juices that are not ruined by their lack of product testing.

          Passion fruits are colloquially referred to as “may pops” in places that they grow wild like the US southeast.

          Maybe you shouldn’t be looking for a fight everywhere.

            In all fairness, I am not looking for a fight everywhere, I do however have tendency of responding in kind, and in this case, I may have been wrong to do so. Live and learn. But that is the danger of using South American slang in the internet, where not everyone is familiar with South American pet names for fruits that may or may taste extremely bitter for different people.
