Home Bargains did the sugared version for 49p a month or two back in my local (Liverpool city centre) store because it had an expiry date of March 2016. I bought a couple of bottles, but to be honest, Ribena doesn't taste all that great, especially compared to (sugared) Vimto. The only two squashes I like now are sugared Vimto and Robinson's orange barley water (yep, one of the few Robinson's squashes with sugar left in it...and it's always been bizarrely a lot more expensive than "standard" squash).

I remember the original recipe which was delicious, and destroyed your teeth. the current version never was as good

I agree too, strongly. Who the hell are they to decide what I should drink??? Personally I rarely drink soft drinks, but the point is, I used to have the choice- now I don't. It's so wrong.

- government introduces 1% tax on sugary drinks
- sugary drinks go up by 15% because screw you, consumer
- sweetener is added to everything now
Thanks, government.

I agree. As good as a sugar tax might sound to some, all it will do is remove consumer choice. Coke and Pepsi already reformulated their drinks decades ago to sugar free versions called Diet Coke/Pepsi.
There's also the issue of the sugar levy probably costing the government £1 billion to implement.
