I've never been a huge fan of blackcurrants in any shape or form and have always opted for orange or apple when it comes to juice variety; however in my increasing old age of becoming a student I have found myself rather drawn to Ribena and at the moment I just can't get enough of the stuff (though of course it can't possibly rival my cola addiction). I don't know what it is about Ribena that makes it so much tastier than all the other offerings available but it is actually the only blackcurrant juice that I will happily drink. Although it also comes in a concentrated form which you simply add water to, I find that somehow no matter how hard I try with my ...  Read the complete review

My parents used to give me Ribena to drink when I was very young, until I remember there was lots of furore about the amount of sugar it contains and you should not put it in bottles for your toddlers etc so it was officially banned in our house from there on in. I saw two multipacks of 200ml cartons on offer in the Co-op last week for £2 (so, 8 cartons for £2) which I thought was reasonable enough and I decided to give it a try as I am aware it is supposed to contain a whole heap of Vitamin C. I first noticed how the multipack 200ml cartons seem to look much smaller than a carton of Ribena normally looks. I am not sure if this is just a multipack ...  Read the complete review

It's so hard to find a drink that is truly thirst quenching sometimes - water does the job but it just isn't enough is it. Fizzy drinks are not all that refreshing and thirst quenching if I'm honest but still drinks are. One drink I love to have a cold glass of is Ribena. You can buy Ribena in a few different forms including lollies these days and concentrated juice but I prefer the fruit juices that you can buy ready made. You can either buy the ready made Ribena in cartons or bottles but I tend to reach for a carton out of habit. There are various flavours but my favourite is Blackcurrant. The carton it comes in is a significant deep purple with ...  Read the complete review

Ribena Blackcurrant I have always loved trying new soft drinks however sometimes it's just easy to go back to a firm faverouite. One of my absolute faverouite is Ribena Blackcurrant. I have always found this drink tasty and refreshing and throughout my student days this was my hang over drink of choice. What is Ribena? Ribena is a brand of fruit juices. The fruit juices are uncarbonated or in other words are not fizzy. Ribena has a number of different products such as the 500ml ready to drink bottle. This comes in blackcurrant flavour, strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate and cranberry with blackcurrant. Other products in ...  Read the complete review

After trying a couple of other offerings of late from the Ribena company and liking them alot I decided I really must try the original flavour that most people are familiar with (unless your me lol) and I hadn't tried it made up already in a bottle before. I do like blackcurrant drinks and as far as I'm aware this is meant to be the original and the best! The Packaging: 500ml long bottle with a green and purple label to the middle of it and a matching purple plastic lid/cap to the top of it. On the front of the bottle I'm told it is Ribena 'Rich in vitamin C a powerful antioxidant' blackcurrant drink. On the back of the bottle I'm given a list of ...  Read the complete review
