Rich: Urgh, cherry. That’s the red one.

Harry: Cherry’s gonna rock.

Rich: No…

Harry: Cherry everything is better.

[laughter]

Harry: Okay, the cherry Bawls is also clear…

Clive: That’s wrong.

Rich: I don’t want any… cherry’s not my flavour.


Mark: Come on. In the interests of scientific endeavour…

Harry: It smells really cherry…It smells like fricking glazed cherries.

Mark: Come on Rich, people want to know your opinion…

Rich: It smells really cherry. So, people who hate cherries, they’re not going to like this. That’ll do.

Clive: You drank all of the Jolt cola though, and that was awful!

Rich: I can still taste that jolt cola…

Clive: Oo, god that really is really cherry-y

Mark: Mmm, that’s alright.

Harry: That’s really nice, but I love cherries.

Mark: Like cherry cola? It’s just like cherry coke.

Harry: Yep.

Clive: Yeah.

Harry: Yeah, exactly like cherry coke actually.

Clive: It’s a bit weird that it’s clear though.

Rich: Coke’s full of caramel colouring isn’t it? [tastes the cherry Bawls] Yuk!

Clive: Yeah, that’s right. I would’ve like some redness though.

Rich: Hmm, maybe.

Clive: But then that’d probably be through cochineal, which is ground-up beetles, which is a bit disgusting… so, maybe it’s good that it’s clear.

Harry: No colouring, it’s all good

Clive: That’s pretty much a thumbs-up for the two Bawls… A pair of Bawls!

Harry: [resigned voice] A pair of Bawls…

[laughter]

Clive: How did we miss that earlier? Four journalists in a room and we didn’t come up with a pair of Bawls immediately!

Harry: So, next up…
