• What did your child think of the taste?

IT HAD A NICE REFRESHING TASTE, ESPECIALLY GOID WHEN HE WAS REALLY THIRSTY

• When did you offer the drink, and how did it fit into your usual routine?

MY SON ENJOYED THIS AS PART OF HIS AFTER SCHOOL SNACK.

• How would you describe the drink to another parent?

ITS AN EASY TO GRAB DRINK OR SOMETHING THATS GREAT TO HAVE IN YOUR BAG WHEN OUT AND ABOUT

• What was your/your child's favourite thing about the drink?

MY SON LOVED THAT IT DIDNT NEED A STRAW, HE HATES SOGGY PAPER STRAWS!

• Is there anything you/your child would change about the drink?

MAYBE JUST BE A LITTLE EASIER TO OPEN, THEY CAN BE FIDDLY

• Which Radnor Hills drink and flavour did your child try?

Radnor Splash - Apple & Raspberry

• What did your child think of the taste?

Both children (11 and 7) liked the flavour although my youngest prefers a stronger taste.

• When did you offer the drink, and how did it fit into your usual routine?

With a snack after school.

• How would you describe the drink to another parent?

A handy fruity water carton that kids enjoy.

• What was your/your child's favourite thing about the drink?

That is was handy and healthy and a good change from water.

• Is there anything you/your child would change about the drink?

My youngest struggled to open the seal and spilt it when opening her first carton so I wouldn’t use it for packed lunch or away from home. A bottle would be better to reseal so it doesn’t have to all be drunk in one go.

Which Radnor Hills drink and flavour did your child try? Toy Story 5 - Apple

What did your child think of the taste?
All the kids loved the taste.

When did you offer the drink, and how did it fit into your usual routine?
I didn’t have chance to think about how to fit them into our usual routine. They lived them so much they were consumed as soon as they arrived! On a more regular basis they’d probably be put in lunchboxes.

How would you describe the drink to another parent?
Convenient drink for days out.

What was your/your child's favourite thing about the drink?
The flavour.

Is there anything you/your child would change about the drink?
A little difficult to open without adult supervision. The mouth hole is a little big for younger children.

• What did your child think of the taste? Both of mine liked the taste although perhaps would have preferred a stronger flavour as it was quite subtle.

• Would have liked to include as part of lunch but a straw is needed really to be more convenient
• How would you describe the drink to another parent?
• A fairly refreshing alternative to water
• What was your/your child's favourite thing about the drink?
• The flavour
• Is there anything you/your child would change about the drink?

Which Radnor Hills drink and flavour did your child try?
Radnor Fruits Toy Story 5 - Apple

What did your child think of the taste?
The children liked the apple flavour but found the drinks unpleasantly sweet - that's not me bragging, this has literally never happened before.

When did you offer the drink, and how did it fit into your usual routine?
We put it in with packed lunches for school

How would you describe the drink to another parent?
If your child likes sweet fruity drinks it's a great option as an alternative to squash

What was your/your child's favourite thing about the drink?
My eldest liked the packaging - that there was no straw (apparently this is cool) My little one liked that it was Toy Story themed.

Is there anything you/your child would change about the drink?
Less sweet, my little one needed a straw - he couldn't manage the packaging independently

My kids tried the Toy Story apple drink. They enjoyed it as an after school drink ready to go. My child's favourite thing about the drink was the taste and the fact that it looked good. I would change to have no artificial sweeteners in it

My daughter tried the apple and raspberry radnor drinks.

She enjoyed the taste but didn't actually finish and of the cartons.

The cartons are useful for day trips or for a lunchbox on the go.

Its a convenient carton of fruity flavoured water.

My child enjoyed having a novelty drink rather than her usual bottle of water.

It would have been useful to have a straw with the cartons.

Hi

My 12 year old daughter tried the Apple & Raspberry flavour cartons.

She absolutely loved the taste, said it was refreshing and tasted healthy! She was worried it would be too plain, but it totally wasn’t :-)

She had the drinks with lunch at home and at school. It fitted in fine with her routine, although she noted it may have been useful to have been able to reseal at school if she hadn’t been able to drink it one go.

I would definitely recommend to another parent. It made a great change from our usual cartons or plastic drinks bottles.

My daughter loved the foil tab opening, she said (and I agreed!) that it was much easier than paper straw cartons around.

We have actually since purchased a crate of the Apple & Raspberry drinks for her to continue taking to school. We did opt for the 500ml bottles so she can sip on them throughout the day also!!
