I have found it weird to hear Scottish folk calling things like Coke and Irn Bru "juice", as they're very far from what I consider juice to be (containing some traces of fruit).<BR/><BR/>I can imagine there being some worry about Ribena - it's so sugary-sweet I usually can't drink it without some dilution, else my teeth hurt.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396080098590034802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28231228.post-75300996729605687752008-02-06T05:23:00.000-03:302008-02-06T05:23:00.000-03:30Hi Lisa!

It is strange to read your comments about Ribena, as I had assumed it was common in countries outside the UK.<BR/><BR/>I just thought I'd add that the term "squash" is more of an English word for the drink. Here in Scotland, I think most people would call it "diluting juice" (as the concentrate is diluted with water!) <BR/><BR/>Ribena is also very nice when made with hot water and really warms you up if you've been out in the cold. <BR/><BR/>Another thing to mention about Ribena is that it received quite a bit of bad press a few years ago, as it is quite sugary and a lot of mothers were giving it to toddlers who then developed severe tooth decay.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have been enjoying your blog. Keep posting! <BR/><BR/>*P*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28231228.post-4223504528188916122008-02-05T16:00:00.000-03:302008-02-05T16:00:00.000-03:30Hi Megan,Greetings from Acadia!I have had Ribena i...Hi Megan,<BR/><BR/>Greetings from Acadia!<BR/><BR/>I have had Ribena in Nova Scotia for sometime.
