Is Ribena the most delicious, satisfying & enjoyable drink ever invented??

I absolutely love it.

You do know there is a 'Food and Drink' forum, don't you?

No. I rarely stray from here.

I will ask the mods to move it.

Vimto is good as well...........but you gotta get the proper stuff, the cordial, not the fizzy sh*t...........

There's also a 'Fashion and Beauty' section just incase you feel the need to post about the merits of shoulder pads.

I LOVE Ribena - especially the strawberry one, great when you've got that furry-gob-syndrome when hungover.

Have you ever checked out the amount of calories in a carton of Ribena though??

I find Ribena quite addictive. I've already had two glasses of it within the last 10 minutes (ice cold water, with the blackcurrant flavour) and now I want another

Check this out - a normal 500ml bottle of Ribena has 225 calories (I could have a whole lunch on that alone!) whereas the Ribena Light 500ml bottle only has 20 calories.

Just switch to the light version, and batter on in

The low-fat, low-calorie stuff never tastes the same though

I might give the lite version of Ribena a try then. Once I've finished my current bottle

This is what worries me.

I love the blackcurrant version so much that even if it's just a bit different I will notice.

Sexbomb · 12-01-2010, 02:19

I love the stuff but i don't think the flavour is as a strong as it was years ago.

Think it has been made weaker

Ribena is good but only when it's in a pint glass.

Richlup · 12-01-2010, 02:26

I remember when they had Ribena "tooth kind", that didn't last did it?
I liked the orange flavour.

I think once you get used to it then you can't tell the difference.

I used to drink full-fat cola, now I drink sugar-free and can't touch the sugary stuff, it's well too sweet. It's just a case of getting used to it

Same with me and i did notice. It tastes soo stale in comparison!

I've started drinking Volvic Strawberry flavour water, as i used to drink too much Ribena.

Haha, brilliant, I'll be making up some acronyms of my own later. I used to like ribena when I was a kid, we only had one flavour back then - ribena flavour! But then one day when I had a cold my mum who's a bit mental decided that warm ribena would be good for me and made me drink it. It was so vile I haven't had ribena since, and probably never will.
