Because that’s not a colouring or flavouring?
Artificial sweetner flavouring, how's it not a flavouring You can argue all day about whether flavour includes sweetness but clearly it doesn’t for the purpose of that messaging.
its been crap for years.
the syrupy delight of our youth in the 90's and 80's is long gone.
sometimes people on here recommend alternatives. some are ok, but most are crap and none a patch on the sweet goodness of original ribena. amd there all pricey.
the stuff in cartons is slightly better than the cordial, but probably the same and psychosematic or whatever.
don't get me started on the glory that was proper strawberry, orange and apricot or the delightful forest fruits in a carton.
thanks jamie, thanks fat people who feed their kids non stop ste.

Ribena is fking filth now however fret ye not, help is at hand.
https://shop.mrfitzpatricks.com/collections/fruits...
100% artificial sweetener free and as thick and gloopy as Ribena and much nicer.
A bit on the pricey side but a bottle lasts me a couple of weeks.
All the other flavours are ever bit as good.

Oh might have to try this one then or just make my own...yes unfortunately ribena vile disgusting filth only fit for the drain now, a bit similar to a few others which have changed in recent times...maybe there is a loophole with cold drinks with the sugar tax as one example Starbucks coffee is loaded and still sell them for £1 https://shop.mrfitzpatricks.com/collections/fruits...

Yep its utter filth the UK stuff these days, like most other UK soft and fizzy drinks, ruined by the Govenment.
Anyway my solution is to buy imported full sugar stuff, it'll cost you, but worth it.

A single bottle works at over £23 posted, about £17 in delivery costs, so i get 3 at a go, still £13 a bottle, but thats the cost of sugar tax

Not trying to be that guy but as someone who also reacts badly to sweeteners etc why are you not checking ingredients properly? The sugar tax has been around a while now and has sufficiently ruined everything with the exception of Coke and Cherry Coke and a few cordials/squashes (Rocks in now my goto) really this shouldnt have been a surprise.
If you want something fizzy then look for a local Nisa or similar, they usually stock the US versions alongside the UK ones, the US ones don't have the sweeteners in them

Coke, cherry coke, lemon coke, Mountain dew, irn bru 1901. That's about all I can find. Depressing.If you want something fizzy then look for a local Nisa or similar, they usually stock the US versions alongside the UK ones, the US ones don't have the sweeteners in them
