Ribena in US?
Hi, Just wondered if anyone knows where I could buy Ribena?

I have found Ribena at some international grocers, and you can also find it online. I've bought from www.britishdelights.com and Amazon.com before. If you do a search for other british food threads, you could find other recommended sites too.

Meijer in Indiana sell it.
It's more expensive than smirnoff vodka, but you can get it.

I find grape juice to be a good substitute if you cant find Ribena.

Rather closer to home... the Indian grocery store on the South East corner of Legacy and Alma in Plano (right HERE, in the curved building) sells big bottles of Ribena, imported from the UK. They're expensive, but not impossibly pricey. They also sell Giant 1kg pots of Marmite too, for a tiny fraction of the cost per gram of Marmite in Kroger or elsewhere.
About grape juice, yes its nice in its own right, but I can really taste the ascorbic acid they are adding to it. If I remember Ribena is less sour.

Safeway near us sell it, you can ask the manager to stock just about anything (so long as he can find it) I go without as it's $8 a bottle, not a big bottle either.
my kids tear through it in no time, so we wait for visitors to supply us, and drink juice in between.
