Just make your own words! Append that shit to any word you want. Be a mongermonger.

What you are looking for is a “Bed shaker”. These are often used by the deaf to wake up. A relatively cheap phone-connected one can be found here but it’s iphone only. This one works with Android. Both use proprietary apps. The website linked was just at the top of a Google search, you can find stuff like this on Amazon as well.

If you are going to pose the question to a more academic circle I’d advise specificity. “When was the word ‘squash’ first used to denote a beverage?” is a good question, or even “How did squash turn from an alcoholic drink to the nonalcoholic drink base we know of today?”; My uneducated guess is the temperance movement may have had a hand in that.

I’m afraid prepared foods and drinks don’t always have the sort of etymological provenance you seem to be seeking. When was the verb squash first used as a noun to denote a drink? A quick search of Google Books shows the earliest literature mentioning squash is The Adventures of Cooroo, a Native of the Pellew Islands from 1805. From a glance it appears to be known as an alcoholic drink at the time, and is mentioned without explanation so it was part of the popular lexicon and could have been used for years before that.

From there it morphed into your aforementioned “lemon squash” in the late 1800s, which seemed to be a nonalcoholic drink made from crushed lemons and soda water. By at least 1897 recipes for squash mentioned “essences” of lime- and lemon- squash so it is easy to see that transitioning to the sweet flavored syrup by 1938 when Ribena first produced your Blackcurrant Squash.

It becomes even more murky when you search for cordial, which appears much earlier and also denoting an alcoholic drink(Although cordial seems to have first had a more medical use).

From etymonline:

“to crush, squeeze,” early 14c., squachen, from Old French esquacher, variant of esquasser, escasser, escachier “to crush, shatter, destroy, break,” from Vulgar Latin *exquassare, from Latin ex “out” (see ex-) + quassare “to shatter” (see quash “to crush”).

Squash was originally a drink made from crushed fruit and must have turned into a concentrate somewhere down the line.

For a little while I didn’t have a car so I bought a Sparkel beverage machine, which is unique because instead of CO2 canisters it uses two powder packets that you mix together in a chamber. It adds water from a reservoir into the chamber and the resulting chemical reaction produces enough CO2 to circulate through a bottle and carbonate your drink.

And the proprietary powder packets are just citric acid and baking soda, so if you know what your doing (I’ve forgotten the measurements tbh) you can carbonate for real cheap. You could also carbonate liquids other than water with it and add things like ice or fruit or lemon slices before carbonating.

It’s more of a hassle than CO2 tanks though. It’s about as involved as a fancy coffee maker, and on rare occasions it would fail due to clogs. I was always able to get it running again and managed to make my money back on it from carbonating tap water. I went back to canned seltzer once I got a new car though.

Others have said it gives the seltzer off flavors as well but I never noticed it except for one time when I think I put too much of one powder in.

I didn’t mention the sticks and you got me mid-edit. Fine, you can eat the sticks but you gotta chew real hard. You don’t want slivers…

1400-1600 calories, only 180% of daily sodium requirement… If you had a light breakfast and it’s the only other thing you eat that day it’s not that bad. You might want to get some more fiber (Not the stick though), and a multivitamin wouldn’t hurt.

Why not both?

I dunno, wore a mask in public during the worst of it and used hand sanitizer regularly? I think it helped more that I’m a homebody with no friends.

I would have said the same. 3 and a half years working retail during the pandemic and last week was the week it knocked me on my ass. Be careful.
