Such a coincidence. I rarely drink Ribena - which is the concentrate made from Blackcurrants (other blackcurrant cordials are available) - but the other day I bought a bottle. I had just made myself a drink of it and sat down and opened Hacker News and this is the first article I see. It’s sad that that are banned over there in the USA and I did know about the issue with pines but the little berries are great in drinks and also for making summer pudding.
