I loved it. Especially hot Ribena when I had a sore throat.

The new stuff tastes rank.

sparklingbrook me neither! What were we being protected from?

No idea subtle. no TISWAS for us. If we were lucky we could watch Noel and Posh Paws on a Saturday morning if it was raining.

I once took 25 tonnes of blackcurrants to the Ribena factory. I remember that all the concrete was purple.

They gave it away in the canteen. I drove the wagon home as high as a kite on sugar and completely free of scurvy.

Sainsburys blackcurrant high juice is a good substitute Smile

Top tip for making chicken and mushroom pot noodle taste like it used to is add a liberal shaking of salt.
Back to being grossly delicious.
Bastards taking the salt out.

Why does nothing taste the same anymore? Robinson's squash and lemon barley water isn't the same either. I'm an adult, sometimes I like to eat and rink stuff that is bad for me. Nanny state gone mad.

Fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, ahhhh!!
