    I hadn’t had Ribena since I was a little tacker. It just slipped my mind for all those years.

    Grabbed a bottle a few days ago and I honestly can’t stop drinking it lol

      It tastes pretty nice but has a LOT of sugar in it. I stopped drinking it when my boys outgrew it, and I discovered that the Tasmanian factory that makes it was owned by Her Late Majesty Lizzie as a personal investment. Now owned by KCIII I think but don’t know for certain.

      Gosh, that brought back memories. Where I grew up you used to also get it in cartons at vending machines or neighbourhood shops and it was my favourite drink after school if I had money. We rarely had any fruit juice at home but my mum always had a big glass bottle of low-sugar Ribena in the fridge with the embossed blackberries on the glass surface. Fun times enjoying a cool glass after school and flicking on the TV or lying down with the fan on full blast reading the comics in the papers
