That Old Guy with the BeardFollow up to this: this bottle of #Ribena says to check the cap for an expiry / best before date.
I checked all the caps (the out one, inside that one, the ring you peel off of it, the plug you remove, all of them.
There was no date.
When @giflian said her bottle was past its date, my reaction was “they go bad…?” This lack of date anywhere suggests that my instincts were right: there is so much sugar that the liquid is preserved forever.
Partial success in my quest to try #Vimto! Thanks to discovering H Mart in Mayfair Mall (seems much like T&T Supermarket), I have got some #Ribena made in Malaysia. No sign of the Holy Grail, however.
Meanwhile, in same aisle, Aha carbonated fruity water, in Lime/Watermelon flavour!
Also, what has to be the most inherently dangerous beverage in the world, Marble Pop. You unwrap the plastic around the mouth, then you push down on the top and a marble fires itself into the narrow collar of the neck as the air pressure is released. Apparently it’s a “Codd-neck bottle,” and is designed to hold the marble against a rubber washer to seal the drink inside. You break the seal, so the marble drops and also gets out of the way as the drink comes out. I still find the sound and vibration terrifying.

consumableJoy@LilPecan I also returned home to a full large bottle of Ribena black currant concentrate, which I love possibly for nostalgic reasons. I usually drink it diluted significantly with water or sparkling water. Now I am pondering various ways to use it in cocktails…. #cocktails #ribena

ChrisQuick #DrinkReview - #Ribena - This is the first time I’ve ever tried this #British #drink. I’ve seen or heard it mentioned on British television and podcasts. Now that I’ve tried it, I can’t figure out why it’s so popular. It tastes like artificially sweetened water.
