Yes, there is a website called Clockwork Orange Juice. It's about a pair of Canadian radio DJs who seem to have half a clue between them and they leave the entire half at home most of the time. |
|
| |
Thanks for hoping to point it out to me. |
|
| |
so if it turns red as soon as you unseal the bottle, how do you know it was orange in the first place ? |
|
| |
i think it's more fun to see it changing color after pouring it into a glass; it's also more easily bakeable. |
|
| |
Can someone explain where the idea is, please? |
|
| |
yes... maybe for those who might not get the references. I know of the movie clockwork orange, but Ive never seen it |
|
| |
The invention is in the singing bottle and in the fact the juice turns red as it is exposed to the air. Obviously, it would turn red slowly, as air cannot get to it terribly quickly if it is open but undisturbed. I've amended the idea, to reflect that. |
|
| |
If you haven't seen the movie then now might be a good time to hire it on VHS or DVD and enlighten oneself, to the fact that not everything from the 1970s was embarrassing. |
|
| |
or read the book. it was a book first you know. |
|
| |
i'd like to see the clockwork orange juice event during an acting scene, with stereo Beethoven's Fifth from the surround theater system, with the color of the bottle ajusted by spotlights, and with actors suddenly grasping for air and violently jumping down to the floor etc. And then it would be a really pleasant surprise to find the drink for sale in the theater's minibar after i leave the pittiful play |
|
| |
That annotation makes a lot less sense than you think, [sweet]. |
|
| |
i was actually trying to make sense of the idea. i'm sorry for having a hard time doing that [UB] |
|
| |
If you really wanted to pull it off, then you'd have to make the slot from which the juice comes oot smaller than usual, and need plenty of air. When pouring, more surface area of the juice would be exposed, and so more coloration would occur... |

[zeno], puns come to me as naturally as breathing. Most of my idea names are puns of some sort. It's inentional, but not the raison d'etre. |

"I was curious, extremely curious and not a little in the thrall of trepidation."
That may well have been the worst prose I've read all day. Nicely done. |
|
| |
Well I have a love for free orange juice, so this better not cost much. |
|
| |
Actually, [UB], I believe that the symphony the orange juice should be playing is Beethoven's ninth. If my clockwork orange juice started playing beethoven's fifth, I would demand a refund. |
|
| |
With a list of ingredients on the label in Nadsat?

"the red-red vino on tap and the same in all places, like it's put out by the same big firm" |
|
| |
//I know of the movie clockwork orange, but Ive never seen it// Go see it. Even though it won't help this idea make much more sense, it's worth doing. |
|

Thank you, [jutta]. I try to rescue these little nuggets from the sewer of life. That one (roughly replicated here) came from a book I read many years ago... something by an Englishman in the late 1800s. I cannot recall the title, unfortunately. It reminded me of the convoluted grammar of Alex and his Droogs. |
|
| |
Clockwork orange juice - wouldn't that be milk? |
|
| |
Just a couple of days ago, I bought an orange that was grown in Australia... Not so odd, you might say, but that little orange was a long way from the house, and I'm only a 30 minute drive from the Florida state line. |
|
| |
Now this! I say CONSPIRACY!!! |
|
| |
Anyway, here's an *American* croissant UB! |
|
| |
I like it.
Somehow it just occurred to me that Malcolm McDowell played Alex in that movie, and also in a recent movie about a murderous barber (Sweeny Todd, anyone?). |
|
| |
[Zigness], if it's any consolation... this morning I had a blood orange with my breakfast. It was grown in California. |
|
| |
The world is surely screwed up when we export citrus to each other, isn't it? |
|
| |
Can't you get red oranges? I'm sure I've
had one from M&S |
|
| |
Read my previous anno~, [DRudge]. They're called blood oranges. |
