Squash/Ribena/'Juice' is heavily sweetened with chemical sweeteners.

Ribena didn't used to be sweetened with artificial sweeteners - it used sugar. Unfortunately, in reaction to the UK government sugar tax, it now is artificially sweetened and tastes foul.

That's a big change since I lived in England.

There used to be half a shelf of "no added sugar" squash, and half a shelf of "no artificial sweeteners".

It seems there's now much less choice of sugar-only drinks, although they still exist. Several have redesigned bottles that look more appealing to adults.
