Why are Ribena Bubbles Ribena Coloured?

[David91]

thats it realy, its been baffeling me for ages.

you pour Ribena into a glass. you then proceed to fill the glass full of water. Bubbles magically appear and they are a purple-ish colour

Why?

all other diluteable drinks bubbles appear white or clear

Orange Juice - White/clear Bubbles
Blackcurrant - White/clear Bubbles
Apple Juice - White/clear Bubbles

solve this mystery OCUK!

Because the liquid is such a dark colour. Pour out some Cola or Dandelion & Burdock and they are brown.

I think.

 

[David91]

hmm cant be just because of its a dark colour.

Pour out some Cola or Dandelion & Burdock and they are brown.

ah you see. i said Diluteable!



Muha!

ribena uses a stronger coloring, which shows up even in the very thin film of water unlike the others?

 

[David91]

thought ribena was 100% natural? no colourings?

suppose ill have to go and read the bottle later

Facepalm

I'm going to say the opposite and that it's because it doesn't use any artificial colourings unlike most other dilute fruit drinks.

 

[David91]

ribena uses a stronger coloring

the way you wrote that made me think of Artificial Colouring not a darker colour

 

[shimy182]

maybe the colouring they use is taken from natural red stuff. and they put lots of it in.

 

[Kreeeee]

Like you? You don't exactly radiate intelligence do you?

You can radiate intelligence O.O


Must be quite a sight.

[m@rty]

you can get diluted ribena?

I take it that means you got my point.

 

[Tefal]

the way you wrote that made me think of Artificial Colouring not a darker colour

you can have natural colourings too

I take it that means you got my point.

I wouldn't call it a point....

 

[Kreeeee]

Then you're far worse than you initially appeared.

 

[goujon945]

Do you realise that an argument has occured due to the colour of Ribena bubbles! is it just me or is that a bit weird?

 

[David91]

no! perfectally sane!

this question needs scientific studies to provide a real answer imo.

You aren't great with subtly are you?
