We all need a drink to wash down those calorie-laden pineapple tarts, and a can of Ribena is just the thing to quench our thirst.
Without artificial sweeteners, flavouring or colouring, Ribena’s probably healthier than those soft drinks you guzzle when visiting relatives. It’s also packed with Vitamin C which boosts your immunity – great for health-conscious parents who want their kids to stay healthy throughout CNY!
Score these purple beauties at Ribena’s 9 roadshows that run from now all the way till 11 Feb. Lug back either a carton of 24 packets or four 6-can packs of Ribena Sparkling to get a free Ribena Trolley worth $29.90!*
