Because it doesn't cost less and has a lot more sugar in it.

I drink tons of juice, but when I was in the UK the squash was good, more refreshing, less sweet, but still orangy enough. Also the option of no sugar is something fruit juice cant compete against.

The absence of squash isnt a deal breaker, but a nice apple blackcurrant squash as well as an orange drink would be an additional pleasure to have, and free up some fridge space too.

We often make home made "Gatorade" (electrolyte drink) e.g. by mixing one portion apple juice, one (or more) portion freshly boiled/cooled/filtered well water with a dash of salt.

I used to buy Gatorade / Powerade to drink almost everyday then saw a Dr. (on some kid's science TV show - no idea which one) who basically laughed at people who bought the stuff and demonstrated how easy it is to make.

Although this doesn't help the OP, I don't care. "I'm the picture of health", have "no social hang-ups" and I'm "very, very handsome".

hi louiseeg,
We brought about 14 large bottles in all we(or rather the packers)distributed them amongst the boxes as they packed.We knew you could buy some robinsons and ribeena but from friends of ours knew vimto didnt exist here.
Only problem is all the kids friends are hooked on it too now so my supply isnt lasting as long as antisipated

good luck with the move over

My parents have bought some out every time they have visited and had no problem though if you want a quick fix you can buy vimto online at several food stores here. I also bought out 4 bottles when I moved out here.
I agree with you louise, there isn't anything quite the same here. Every time our local food basics or sobeys has Ribena in I buy as much as I can without my OH rolling his eyes at me!

In answer to your question, rather than insult you and go in differing directions!! Yes. would suggest you put loads in. We have moved onto the frozen stuff you mix with water. Doesn't goes as far but the kids drink it. We bought some Robinsons with us just to help the kids settle in, one it was gone it was gone. We bought some on special for $2.99 from Pete's.

Good luck with the move.

It's not too expensive either, at least I don't think so.

I found the prices from Pete's not too bad, certainly cheaper than the vimto, planning on going down to Pete's to stock up for the winter in a few weeks on squash as well as a few other things that are not detrimental to my health but nice to have
