Ribena Really Light Blackcurrent Reviews

When I was a child growing up in the US but with British grandparents, I would occasionally get the chance to visit the UK - this happened on average once every couple of years. During these visits, apart from seeing my grandparents, the best thing that happened to me was getting to sample all the sweets and treats that are sold in the UK but are ...  Read the complete review

Background: When I was a child it was always a treat to visit my Grandmother, especially as this was the only time we got to drink Blackcurrant Ribena. I can remember then considering it a superb drink and fabulous on those hot summer days. These days I but my Ribena whenever I can, but more often when its on special ...  Read the complete review

I took quite a few years to get into Ribena. When I was a kid I wasn't that keen on the quite intense blackcurrant flavour. But with time I got to like it yet didn't buy it because it was sugary and calorific. So recently I have been buying this light version. And it doesn't taste much different in my opinion, which is a positive thing. ...  Read the complete review

Oooh I do love this drink, which is unsurprising when I have a fetish for all things sugary. Ribena really light, for me, is a much better option though when satisfying my blackcurrent drink fetish.

My experience of Ribena Really Light was accidental for the most part, after I picked up a bottle that was half price in my local supermarket for my girlfriend, who is a secret Ribena drinker. Now I'm all for healthy alternatives to family favourites. For example, did you know that a kilo of Flora has 3,000 calories more than a kilo of ...  Read the complete review

Robinsons Ribena to me remains unbeaten in the Ribena wars. I've had supermarket own brands but they taste quite washed out compared to the real thing. Robinson's Ribena in this case has a sweet fruity flavour, and the blackcurrent comes out really nice and strong. It is prepared by mixing it with water in approx 1:4 that being 1 ...  Read the complete review

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think Ribena is onomatapeic. When you say that 'beeeee' bit in the middle, you have to elongate your mouth into a facsimile of a smile. I think this is deliberate attempt to make you say it and associate it with feelings of happiness. But then, I'm full of rubbish. Let's see if our little blackcurrant ...  Read the complete review

The product is a non-fizzy soft drink which comes in a variety of flavours but the main one is blackcurrant. It is available as a cordial and ready to drink bottles. The packaging on this product is purple and very fun and cheerful. Nutritional information (please see below) is shown in an easy to understand format. The drink is very high in ...  Read the complete review

I used to love Ribena as a child, especially the ones in the little cartons. But once you start doing your own shopping you really notice how prices change and how expencive it can get. You also notice that one drink contains a lot of sugar and calories. When I came across the concentrate version of 'Really Light' Ribena it was the perfect ...  Read the complete review
