Advantages: refreshings, different to most drinks, nostalgic even!

Disadvantages: very sweet, so sometimes a bit sharp

This drink is almost like the extreme for strawberries. This of strawberry sweets and them double the sweetness. If you like Ribena, you will love sweet drinks, and this is a refreshing twist from the normal blackcurrant version.

The taste of this is almost artificial as the flavours are so ramped up. It's great if you need a sweet fix, and I often used to treat myself to glasses of this instead of grabbing sweet junk food like chocolate or sweets.

Strawberries are sweeter than the blackcurrants and are certainly refreshing and energy-boosting. Sometimes if you drink it fast, you catch it at the back of your throat so it can be a bit scratchy. I would steer clear if you like simple drinks!

This makes me feel quite childish! A little bit nostalgic. Sadly a 500ml bottle has 60% of your daily sugar recommendation and 230 calories (all sugar), so this definitely sends you on a sugar rush. There are no artificial colours or preservatives or sweeteners, but there are flavourings.

Summary: The ultimate sugar rush- not for all of the time though!
