The internet reacts to the Ribena ban
Sit down and pour yourself a stiff drink – but not of Ribena – as Tesco has announced plans to stop selling lunchbox-sized cartons of Ribena and Capri-Sun in a bid to reduce child obesity. Here’s how calmly the internet took this bombshell.

Tescos banning #Ribena is a good start but until we have CCTV in all homes we will never know what people are really eating

It starts with #Ribena and before you know it they're swigging full-fat Pepsi and spiralling into a pack-a-week Haribo Tangfastics addiction

Dear @Tesco, I was thinking of having a Mars bar this afternoon. Just wanted to check if that is OK with you? #Ribena #nannyknowsbest

Tesco banning #Ribena mean that people are going to start selling it on the black(currant) market.

Just been to my local Tesco and they're already boarding up in anticipation of people panic buying Ribena. pic.twitter.com/b7PrnbPwuZ

Of course there was pure outrage. Outrage from people who were too busy being angry to read the details of the story.
This is the beginning of the end. @Tesco you have ruined my life #saveribena

Can't believe tesco are axing ribena, what's kinda of sick joke is this
Brb off to go bulk buy ribena and rubicon mango juice whilst @Tesco still allows it #saveribena #savedajuicymangos https://t.co/mFaleulakz

I genuinely hate Tesco with a passion and this is actually the last straw!

So @Tesco is going to stop selling Capri Sun drinks? I've never even been to a Tesco, and I already hate them.
