A crush is a drink made from fruit juice, purees and water. It’s often found in supermarkets and is much thinner than a true 100% fruit smoothie.

From Innocent drinks

During my secondary school day, I used to be like the Miss Love Consultant among some of my peers. It was quite odd because this is a girl who has never been in relationships yet acting like an expert.

Today, I am pondering the meaning of this word ‘crush’. People use it so loosely nowadays. I was reading some articles about people experiencing crushes.

n.

1. The act of crushing; extreme pressure.

2. The state of being crushed.

3. A great crowd: a crush of spectators.

4. A substance prepared by or as if by crushing, especially a fruit drink: orange crush.

5. Informal

a. A usually temporary infatuation.

b. One who is the object of such an infatuation.

6. A decisive or critical moment or situation.

7. The process of stamping or crushing grapes for wine.

But best of all, I like to quote this from Lashinout;

“You make a crush sound like the plague”

Reminds me of yersinia pestis.. back to studying!
