Britvic Robinsons Special R Squash No Added Sugar Apple and Blackcurrant

No added sugar aye? That won't do will it, I shall ave to add several heaped teaspoon fulls of sugar myself then! Actually, this isn't so bad, quite sweet enough as it is. Though I have a problem with Robinsons's squashes. I cannot drink one without thinking of that wretched advert at Wimbledon, where the kid steals the drink and Pat Cash beats him senseless with his racket. Onto the drink then. It comes in a plastic bottle which you can recycle, or perhaps use afterwards to store water in for when you go to the gym (which is sometimes what I do.) The concept of apple and blackcurrent is not to be alarmed at, I am sure it has its roots in old fashioned Fanny ...  Read the complete review

This apple and blackcurrant squash really stands out. I chose it because I was told by my doctor to stop drinking caffeine, so I needed to replace my daily drinks (coffee, tea, coke) with something else. In addition to getting decaffeinated versions of these, I also decided to branch out and expand my range of drinks so that I wouldn't feel deprived. Of all the drinks I have since tried, this squash is my current favourite. The first thing you notice about this beverage is the colour. It comes in a clear plastic bottle and so you can see the inviting ruby-red shade of the drink inside. You mix the squash with 4 parts water for every 1 part ...  Read the complete review

Okay so it might sound odd, but I don't like drinking plain water and I never have. I know that it's good for you and it's cheap, but I just don't like it. I also don't drink milk or milky drinks either, which leaves me with very few options - fizzy drinks (not really the best for your teeth, your wallet or your health), fruit juice (is quite expensive when you drink lots of it) or squash, which I tend to drink the most. As you may have guessed, I'm quite fussy about what I drink and because of this there aren't many diluted squash drinks that I like. For example I find Ribena absolutely disgusting, as it's like drinking syrup and leaves a nasty coating in ...  Read the complete review

I do enjoy squash and cordial drinks, but I am always very aware of the potential damage that they can do to my teeth. I used to drink lots of diet coke, but was concerned that the 'fizzy' could be causing damage to the enamel on my teeth. I have recently swopped to Robinsons fruit squash (with no added sugar), the idea being that I still get to enjoy some fruit squash....but without the damage caused by all of the sugar. Robinsons is by far the market leader when it comes to fruit squash and i was lucky enough to find a two litre bottle of the apple and blackcurrant drink in my local poundland for yes, you've guessed it...the bargain price of ...  Read the complete review

Having purchased this when it was on offer in Asda (£1 for 1ltr) I felt a bit posher all of a sudden. When it comes to squash I'm generally a price savvy person, so at full price £1.79 at last glance compared to supermarket own at 59p, I generally go cheaper. So anyway £1 for 1 ltr, I thought why not!? Now the bottles itself is a lot sturdier. Most squashes in plastic bottles have a 'cheaper' plastic which when you hold it, falls in on itself and you feel like you've must have been pretending to be Britains Strongest Man and you dont know your own strength! This however holds its own. Its quite an elegant shape for a squash bottle, most are the square ...  Read the complete review
