About Tesco banning Ribena- and weird beverages in UK and USA

I hate squash ribena don't see the point. Why not go for fresh juices like orange juice , apple juice if u want something sweeter. Squash and ribena taste like crap

I like squashes because they're less acidic, and there's the no-added-sugar option.

I'm a big fan of squash/cordials/ribena/whatever (I drink it quite diluted) and I really love lime and soda. I find regular fruit juice too sickly sweet, I really need to dilute it with a lot of water when I drink it. 

I'm afraid I really like it room temperature as well.  I really really really don't like cold drinks, unless it's really warm, which it never is, in the north of Scotland.

But the no sugar option has aspartame, which I do not want to drink! Ew. The sweetness just lingers in my mouth and it tastes off.

I think it's just a stretch for adults to drink any soft drink that isn't tea-- or, at a push, coffee.  Particularly cold soft drinks. 

It's pretty much tea, or booze, and anything else is for kids.  And none of it should be more than about 10 degrees cooler than room-temperature.

That is true, come to think of it. I'd forgotten. Only one of the people who said something about it really ever drinks squash.

And why is there VAT on orange juice?  I mean "real" juice -- not sugary squash.

My team at work must be the exception to the rule... out of the 8 of us, 2 drink Diet Coke all day long, one drinks Diet Irn Bru, 2 drink squash, one drinks nothing but water, one drinks nothing but tea... and then there's me with the drawer in my desk full of Crystal Light packets, 3 different chai tea bags, and peach/orange Robinsons Squashd.  I like variety!

However... you're right about the temperature... everyone's drinks are room temp, apart from mine, and the girl who drinks tea.
