Can contain, not made entirely of.

Hence, albeit an extremely milk biased smoothie. Had he said his dad was drinking milk with ice cream and ribena I would have said milkshake.

But there's no blended fruit which is a requirement of a smoothie, it's pure liquid and therefore not a smoothie.

He's getting muddled up with beer.

He's drinking a pint of milk with a little bit of ribena! Anyone tried this before or is my old man losing the plot?

And by ribena you meant a double shot of JD?

I've done this many times, also do it with blackcurrant and apple squash.

I've put a dollop of blackcurrant jam in porridge recently, it was nice, but ribena and milk? Ewww

Neither, it's just the way my trousers are bunched.

Right, I've just mixed one up and it's actually made the wife barf. I must admit it doesn't taste as good as it it did 20 years ago!

I don't know why I found that funny but I did.

EndlessSky · 25 Jun 2011 at 22:03

Reading that back I understand why it did make you laugh, ooo matron!

Bennie-Mac · 25 Jun 2011 at 22:06

Is that not just the same as that Crusha stuff? Add to milk and tasty beverage

Robinsons used to sell "robinsons for milk" It used to be the only way i could get my son to drink cows milk, they dont make it any more though. there was orange & peach flavour, and a red one that was raspberry with something.

Evoss · 25 Jun 2011 at 22:51

Another thing to add to my "to try" list

Theophany · 25 Jun 2011 at 22:52

It's lovely, my gramps used to make it for me back when he ran his shop. Reminds me of Ilfracombe!

Randomface74 · 25 Jun 2011 at 22:55

Milk comes out of a cow.... seriously.... just put the ribena in water!

Uriel · 25 Jun 2011 at 23:03

Not that much different from syrup milkshake additives is it?

ViZioN8 · 25 Jun 2011 at 23:07

I'd try it once...

flibbage0 · 25 Jun 2011 at 23:08

Make sure you add a tiny amount, not loads.
