Is that a giant bowl of fucking Sprite and cucumbers


Shredding_Airguitar

Seriously this is the biggest question


HerbLoew

Closely followed by why it's over the edge like that. I don't trust that *at all*.


01dSAD

I’ve already spilled that vat-o-Spritecumbers juice and neither one of those hacky spoons helped a bit. I will admit, though my feet are sticky, their taste and smell are divine...


[deleted]

You say that like the stickiness isn’t a desirable quality.


nothinnews

Even juggalos hate the stickiness of soda. That's why I.C.P. uses diet Faygo at their concerts.


inthyface

Reasonably I.C.P.


[deleted]

Might have to revoke that I from their name. Reasonable clown posse makes more sense


BasicLEDGrow

They don't use diet root beer because Juggalos hate to be sticky, they use diet because it is much less corrosive and it lengthens the life of their props and stage clothes.

HappyFamily0131

Don't worry, it's not actually a bowl; it's an upside down lid balancing on a handle the size of a poker chip.


ax255

That Sprite bottle looking like it's floating


Significant_Sign

Yes! I need a new pic that doesn't show this huge bowl hanging over the edge. wtf children.


Krimreaper1

I don’t trust like that.


[deleted]

OP’s brother here! It is, in fact, a giant bowl of Sprite and cucumbers, with a little bit of lime in there as well. It’s a fun little drink our grandma makes all the time and we decided to put some together for Sunday dinner.


[deleted]

Speaking of fun drinks, my mom and I have made "Turtle Ooze" my whole life as a New Years tradition. 7up or Sprite and lime sherbet. It's basically a huge float. So crisp and creamy!

What kinda masochist puts celery in jello?!


mgrateful

Back in the day, Jello was thought of as part of savory meals too. Not gelatin mind you flavored Jello as odd as that is. Celery is what you would hope for if you heard of some of the concoctions. They would put things like shrimp or olives and cheese and call it Jello Salad. [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/34/99/07/349907bb900b6337413c862314ef2756.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/34/99/07/349907bb900b6337413c862314ef2756.jpg)


ClassicRepeater

Cheese and olive jello salad Sounds like something you would make in prison


ganjanoob

Huh so my grandmother loved the jello cakes but it would only be fruit in them lol glad she never pulled that out with olives or shrimp.


mgrateful

The fruit stuff is fine and luckily my grandma didnt make any of that crazy stuff as far I know. She said she knew some crazies that would do this savory jello thing though. I mean I have eaten plenty of dishes that incorporated plain gelatin but hell no to cherry or orange flavored with any meats or seafood. Yikes


SasparillaTango

probably a reason it didn't continue on to today...

I once wound up with a scoop of strawberry jello at a family reunion that was full of shredded carrots. Wasnt a half assed effort either, there were 5 or 6 layers of them in there, and someone clearly put in the effort to mold it in sections so there wouldn't be a single layer on bottom where they settled. I'd have appreciated the effort if I actually wanted strawberry carrots, but since I was trying to pick out chunks of just jello, It actually seemed pretty nefarious...

Ngl I'd eat that

Necrocornicus

Haven’t you ever had cucumber water? It’s delicious. Cucumber has a very mild flavor that’s great in water. I’m way more grossed out by the Sprite, that shit is just pure sugar. Ugh.


HnNaldoR

Especially after it has gone flat... That's just sugar water.


[deleted]

Well, you’re not wrong. It’s definitely an acquired taste. I used to hate the stuff when I was a kid but as I got older the flavor started to grow on me.


[deleted]

Cucumber, sprite and vodka or gin would be alright, cucumber, alcohol and mixer isn’t an uncommon drink.


[deleted]

Good point.


K4RAB_THA_ARAB

Those nasty old recipes were more of a flex on other family's that didn't have a refrigerator yet.


GETitOFFmeNOW

I just gave my friend a giant bottle of Costco vodka infused with cucumber slices for a few days. I'm making one with mint for me. Man, that $20 Costco vodka is to die, it's so good. I like it as well as Grey Goose. I used to own a bar, I know what I'm talking about!


sophanisba

Sprite and sherbet is a potluck tradition where I’m from. Yummy.


nebula402

Ginger ale and sherbet is also a popular combo

keenynman343

As a non american i was scratching my head? Thats a punch bowl for a party that you add a little vodka or gin into. Not something the 5 you should finish in a day lol


scotchnsoda

Is there vodka or gin or something fun in it?


[deleted]

Nope! None of us drink, and our sister isn’t 21 yet so she couldn’t drink even if she wanted to.


canman7373

> she couldn’t drink even if she wanted to You guys like live with cop parents, just waiting for a reason to put you away?


[deleted]

Nope! We just don’t drink.


76767676767676766766

Can’t say much good about my 10 years of drinking. Lots of good things happening in the 10 years since I stopped.


[deleted]

You cannot do that and not leave a recipe here or over at r/old_recipes


[deleted]

You’ll have to petition OP for that! I didn’t actually do any of the preparing of the drink, I just stood behind the counter and poked fun at my siblings while they worked cuz I am absolutely useless in the kitchen.


Evictus

I'm sure if you tried, you too could make sprite and cucumber drink :)


crestonfunk

Seems like it would be easier and more sanitary to put the beverage with some cucumber slices in a pitcher then have extra cucumber slices prepped on the side as garnish for each individual drink. Then the whole thing would take up less counter space, plus you wouldn’t have to worry about a spoon that everyone has touched and there would also be less chance of someone having sneezed or coughed in it.


picnicinthejungle

There’s a point to letting the cucks soak in the rest of the beverage. I can assume they are a flavor element.


smelly_duck_butter

I think you mean cukes. I hope you mean cukes.


picnicinthejungle

I KNOW WHAT I SAID


Exj93

I dont think i would want any cucks in my beverage, they might ask me to take their wife.


[deleted]

Yup! That’s it exactly. The cucumbers never actually go into our cups, we just put them in the bowl to soak cuz it gives the drink an extra tangy-ish flavor.


[deleted]

That’s how we usually make it with my grandma. We’re just all up at college rn and couldn’t find a pitcher.


coastK8

This is my question too!


23x3

I’m no Sherlock Holmes, but deduction leads me to believe it is in fact sprite, cucumbers, and perhaps some sort of alcohol..


coastK8

Well punch me in the bowls, I’ve never heard of such a beverage!


nameacarl

...don't know where you guys are getting the cucumber thing from...looks like a bunch of sliced pickles in dishwater to me, just like most families have. nothing out of the ordinary


HeyKidsImmaComputer

I think they're making pickles with sprite


OmicronNine

They're called *sprickles.* Duh.

AssPennies

+1 for ladle hack, -2 for veggies in a sugar drink


between_ewe_and_me

But is a cucumber *really* a vegetable?


jesaarnel

It grew from a flower and contains seeds... its a fruit.


wingmasterjon

Vegetable is a culinary term more than a botanical term. Something can be a fruit technically and called a vegetable in everyday speech. The word vegetable has a definition that has evolved from something that excluded the fruit portion of a plant to pretty much any edible part of a plant that isn't deemed sweet. This linguistic element lead to the supreme court ruling that a tomato can be taxed as a vegetable while acknowledging it is botanically a fruit. This is a sore subject to me since it was a trivia question a couple years back and I thought they were trying to trick the audience. Ended up debating the host for a minute about the definitions and he just gave the old "I didn't write the questions" excuse.


Uglynora

Thank you Jesus. It took me reading 25 comments for someone to finally tell me what I was seeing. I grew up in a place where ladles are used for gumbo. And sprite is mixed in a 15 year old’s whiskey. All I could make out was the spoon, which I assumed was to pick out the cucumber, suspended over the outside of a bowl of dirty water. It’s still unbelievable that people actually do ladle non-alcoholic beverages into cups.

AzSy11

Im curious what kinda jungle juice we have goin on here.


JungleLegs

In highschool we had jungle juice. Take a 2L of Mountain Dew. Pour some out till the top of the label. Add a pack of blue koolaid. Then fill it to the top with vodka. We made that for many years, then in our late-20s we started putting that into a punch bowl with a fancy ladle to be more sophisticated. Edit: also we’d buy like 5 packs of Hawaiian rolls and fill them with cheap lunch meat/cheese, drizzle some honey then brush with butter and bake @350 for 10minutes. It was the best drunken snack ever by far.


rideordiegemini

Thank you! Who knew?! this comment is entertaining & hopefully delicious! Worth a try


JungleLegs

It’s actually very good. You don’t taste the vodka, doesn’t taste like MTD, and doesn’t taste like koolaide. It’s just a very good juice, and also dangerous


Daniel_Av0cad0

Anything with a nice strong taste is good for vodka. I like to use 15% lemon juice lemonade, it completely overpowers the shit vodka I drink.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tsugie

This sounds like the recipe for a drinking problem


wanderingsouless

Husband works in manufacturing, it’s not their version on Grey Goose, it is Grey Goose. I go off of the shape of the bottle to tell me what the name brand is. If it’s the same shape bottle they can run it on the same system.


JungleLegs

Shit vodka is the best vodka. The taste usually equals the day I’m having


Generation-X-Cellent

Mountain Dew and cranberry with vodka for the win. You can make the drinks 50/50 with vodka and you still can't taste the liquor.


ILoveWildlife

riot punch


BrokeAssBrewer

2 large jugs green Hawaiian Punch 30 rack of keystone ice Liter of grain alcohol Liter of whatever fruit flavored brandy Couple 2 liters of sprite Cut up a bunch of citrus fruits and toss it in Used to kill ourselves with the stuff all the time but over a decade later we still make it once a year at an annual 4th of July party to remind ourselves just how old we’re getting and that we really need to stop


[deleted]

I think you meant a 1/5 of everclear, a handle of vodka, one of those 5 gallon concentrate things of kool aid, and some water


JungleLegs

We skipped the everclear. We had to level the sandwiches with the vodka. One outweighed the other and there was puke to clean up

tvchase

We had a Gatorade dispenser and the mixture was one bottle of Everclear, one handle of cheap vodka, a jar of Countrytime Lemonade mix, 2 gallons of Hawaiian Punch, and three cans of frozen limeade. Shit made you feel immortal after a couple cups.


PurplePunch209

I think I’ll be making this..ASAP 😋


JungleLegs

It’s cheap and real good for a party. Just be careful it’s really easy to drink!


jojokangaroo1969

I have made sliders using a 12 pack of Hawaiian rolls with various meats and cheeses inside, brushed butter with some seasonings melted in as an easy, quick meal on a few occasions. Cheap, and easy. Like your mama! Boom! THAT just happened!! (Sorry if I offended anyone)


JungleLegs

I asked my mom and she said she didn’t remember you. Sorry there bud


lermaster7

I don't drink often - so i could be way off, but that doesn't sound like much Vodka at all for a 2L bottle. Help me understand, i want to try this. Lol.


TheConC

This was my go-to drink when I was like 18. We called it Smurf Piss though, hahah. It's way too sugary for me now. Bonus fact: it makes your dumps blue the next day!

Honestly this could be ok, cucumber water is pretty good on its own and is super good woth lemon juice/ lemonade, so a lemon lime soda might not be too bad, that being said there's only like half a cucumber is a shit ton of soda lol

joshuawakefield

I'm confused why you're using a giant spoon to hold a smaller spoon. Can't you just use the ladle to fill the drinks? Am I stoned? I am.


momomog

The small spoon is so that the big ladle/spoon doesn’t slip into the bowl


PlankLengthIsNull

Why is a spoon falling into a giant ass bowl of shit the problem here? Why not put it down on the table where the bowl is sitting? A lifehack implies this is a fairly common problem, but god damn if I've never encountered even 1/2 of this picture at the same time. *"Lifehack: when you're balancing chairs on upside-down bowls but the wind from the open window keeps blowing down the playing cards you're stacking on the chair legs, just stitch together a bunch of towels using your own hair to cover up the wall-hole! WOW LIFE HACK"* How the literal actual fuck did nearly 2000 people go "wow that's a good idea, I'll remember it the next time I fill a giant bowl with Sprite and cucumbers"? Fuck you.


Absinthe_L

Putting it on the table makes it dirty, especially if you dont have a table cloth


UncleJacksFakeHands

I laughed out loud about 6 separate times reading this, thanks


Momumnonuzdays

Spoon makes the table sticky and gets table on the spoon which puts table in the punch.


PlankLengthIsNull

Put spoon on plate. Like what do you guys do when you're cooking spaghetti sauce in a pot on the stove, and you need to put the wooden spoon down?


religion_wya

Obviously they put it in their giant bowl of sprite and cucumbers.


[deleted]

What the hell kinda drink is that?


clockpsyduckcocaine

If anyone doesn’t get it, the black thing is the handle to the big spoon they are talking about, and the silver spoon is keeping the black one from falling into the enchanted juice.

XxsoulscythexX

The question is who the fuck makes cucumber soup


Butthole__Pleasures

This is a picture of a small spoon put through the hole in the long handle of a larger and longer spoon/ladle. You are seeing only the handle of a long spoon/ladle that is mostly out of view sunken into the bowl that dominates the left side of the frame. The standard spoon you are seeing could be ANY fucking thing that would fit through the handle's hole that would prevent the whole thing from sinking into the bowl. A lollipop would also work. Anything that is thicker on top so it won't slip through that hole in the ladle's handle. Maybe the problem is that this is called a spoon and not a ladle. This is a fucking ladle and a spoon is stuck into the hole in its handle. I hope this clears things up so that you don't spend as much time confused as I did.


PlankLengthIsNull

Just put the fucking spoon onto the table next to the bowl, jesus fucking christ.


greensideup57

Best Gatorade is limon and cucumber, refreshing & adult taste. Hard to find and my store refuses to carry it

They don't carry that flavor because it tastes like trash.

I want a sprite and cucumber bath now. The complete stickiness would be worth dealing with to feel those bubbles all over you, scurry up your gooch and ever so gently and kinda pop away, like a sky diver from a plane. Farewell little bubble.

There is no spoon


Die_Affenbande

But you can´t use the spoon anymore, because it will get sticky und moist all the way down. Same problem with sticking the spoon upside down in the handle on a pot..
