Ribena has taken over my life. It's even supplanted pomegranate Rubicon as my drink of choice.
Upon further research I have discovered that it began being fabricated during WWII as a source of vitamin for schoolchildren when oranges where hard to come by, it was distributed for free in schools as a no-brand drink and apparently started the countries lasting taste for all things of a blackcurrant nature flavour.
I also discovered two things I would like for christmas. Pomegranate Ribena, similar to the strawberry and apple version and available in carton and squash form, and Ribena Spark, a carbonated version of the blackcurrant original in a can.
