Ribena has been the nation’s favourite way to get their vitamin C since 1938, taking its name from the Latin word for blackcurrants - Ribes Nigrum. Usage became widespread during World War II due to a shortage of citrus fruit as a result of rationing.
After 75 years Ribena has evolved to include new ranges, such as Ribena Strawberry and new Ribena Plus in flavours such as Apple and Peach, with added health benefits and no added sugar. There’s a Ribena for the whole family and every range stays true to the core Ribena values of providing 100 per cent of your daily dose of vitamin C.
To this day, Ribena remains a uniquely home-grown brand, using blackcurrants which are still grown on a handful of British farms by farmers who have grown blackcurrants for Ribena for up to 60 years and three generations.
Sara Hasan, senior brand manager at Ribena, said: “A lot has happened in the past 75 years, but we’re extremely proud of the fact that Ribena has been a constant in family life over that time, delivering its daily dose of vitamin C. Fans of the brand have shown tremendous loyalty and it’s only right that we reward that loyalty by giving them the chance to express their love for the brand in one of the best ways possible.”
The competition launches on 27th May 2013 closes on 21st June 2013; for more details visit http://www.ribena.co.uk/75-birthday-competition
