Advantages: ... none

Disadvantages: too sweet and like own-brand

I've recently tried this and have to say I found it pretty average; the Robinsons brand was established in 1823 and bases itself on the concept of excellent taste. Recently it added no artificial colours or flavours to its drinks and this particular squash is the same. The bottle says that it makes 20 drinks however i feel this is a bit optimistic; if you like very weak squash you could get this many however on average i make about 10/15 drinks out of the 1 litre bottle. It is very low calorie; per 100ml of liquid made it only has 10 calories which is nothing and so makes this great for dieters. It states that it is made from concertrate however I would disagree with this; the taste is very artificial. It does not taste of acidic strong lemons, it almost tastes a little bit sweet and whilst i can see that kids would love this it tastes exactly the same as cheap own-brand lemon squash and i feel not very nice. Bearing in mind the £1.30 price as well i would prefer to by the 14p own-brand version!

Summary: ... just buy the cheap version!
