Advantages: Lasts a long time, full flavour, tokens to collect

Disadvantages: Quite expensive

Im quite fussy when it comes to drinks and as I try not to drink fizzy drinks (unless theres alcohol involved lol) it can be quite hard to find a "squash" drink that I like but I have to say that Ribena is awesome, its full of flavour and a little bit goes a long way. Its very strange though because I don't very much like blackcurrants or blackcurrant flavoured things so I cant get my head around why I love Ribena so much!

I prefer to keep the Ribena in the fridge I don't know why I just feel it will keep it fresher for some reason, maybe because of the super syrupy consistency of it or something. There are 3 different sizes of bottle you can buy being 600ml, 1 litre and 2 litre and I prefer to get the 1 litre bottle which is quite expensive at nearly £3 for the bottle, but as I only take the tiniest little bit added to my water so it lasts me such a long time. I actually managed to get a great deal the other day as Asda had the large bottle on offer for only £1 needless to say I bought 5 of them!!!

Another great thing about Ribena is that all of their bottles are 100% recycled so with every bottle you buy your helping the environment that little bit extra :)

This is a great juice loved by kidss of all ages...and yep that includes all you big kids out there like me :P they also have a great website to find out any information you want on their products which is www.ribena.co.uk they also have a promotion on it at the moment where you can collect tokens to get activity days for the whole family. Although the tokens come from the bottle you purchase, the website gives you your very first starter token and you print out your collectors card to attach them to and your all set to go, especially great for the summer time as there seems to be alot of sporty items you can get!

Each bottle gets your this many tokens:

600ml = 1 token
1 Litre = 2 tokens
2 Litre = 4 tokens
4 pack cartons = 2 tokens
10 pack cartons = 4 tokens

For 6 tokens you can get: Juggling balls, velcro catch set, flying disc, face paints or footballs

For 8 tokens you can get: Kites, rounders set, skittles, badminton set, cricket set or quoits

For 12 tokens they send you an activity pack from which you can choose: canoeing, kayaking, dancing, archery, go-karting, horse riding, rock climbing, sailing or martial arts

What more of an excuse do you need not only are you getting the best tasting soft drink, in my opinion anyways, you're also getting the chance to receive family orientated activities while helping to save the environment at the same time!!

Thanks for reading I hope this was of help :)
