Ribena Blackcurrant Concentrate

Ribena, Ribena, Ribena, I love it! Ribena Blackcurrant, Ribena Apple and Ribena Strawberry - you name it as long as it's Ribena! So why do I love Ribena so much? Throughout my childhood, there were 6 children in my immediate family. My parents would never buy us Ribena as it would get drunk too quickly and well, they weren't that rich - lets face it, it is expensive stuff for a concentrated juice drink. We were always subjected to the supermarkets own brand blackcurrant squash drinks. I grew to hate these drinks with such a passion, every day for years and years, the same smell, the same taste eurgh…. ! The smell still makes my stomach ...  Read the complete review

Ribena Blackcurrant Concentrate Description: 600ml. Ribena is a natural drink that contains NO artificial sweetener, colour, or flavour. Ribena is a brand of uncarbonated soft drink made by GlaxoSmithKline in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. I am sure that you have seen this drink on the shelves of your local supermarket, even if you haven't tasted it. I bought a liter bottle for £2.80 from my local shop, bigger bottles are also available. It comes in a see through bottle with a purple label, red lettering and pictures of blackcurrants on the front. This is a diluting drink, so you basically add a small amount of ...  Read the complete review

Different people have different remedies for when they have a cold or a sore throat and for some reason whenever I was feeling poorly as a child my Mum would always make me a cup of hot Ribena with a slice of lemon on it, telling me it would help my throat to feel better. Some years later and living in my own place, if ever I am feeling low with a sore throat I am soon down to my local shop to buy myself a bottle of Ribena to make myself feel better and relive those childhood memories! I have to admit that I really like Ribena, especially hot Ribena even though some people look at me funny when I say that as they have only ever drunk it diluted with cold ...  Read the complete review

Ribena has been part of my life since I was a kid. It was thought of as a treat in our house, and my dad would ration it out as if it was the last bottle on earth. I have always liked Ribena - only the original mind you, I never got into the other flavours (it isn't Ribena if it isn't blackcurrant!). I also hate the taste of any 'light' products, as they have those horrible sweeteners, and Ribena light is no exception. Have a look at the label and there they are... Aspartame and Acesulfame K - sounds and tastes yuck! Not to be found in the original, just good old sugar in there! I know it's not good for you, but I don't drink gallons of it at a time, and ...  Read the complete review

After just coming out of hospital and still recovering from a major stomach operation i have decided to take a healthier approach to my life, and looking back at the amount of fizzy drinks i used to consume i am disgusted with myself. Whilst in hospital and being nil by mouth for a few days and only allowed 'sips' of water i was over the moon when my doctor declared that i could finally start drinking properly again. Although instead of sending my partner down to the coffee shop to grab me a can of coke, i just really fancied some Ribena which did seem strange considering that i hadn't touched the stuff for years. My partner came back with the little cartons ...  Read the complete review
