Bert Raccoon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Tried the new stuff today. It's not horrible but it's definitely different. Can't say I was hugely impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Highland Brew, and the Girders stuff, left a horrible after taste in your mouth.I remember I was invited into a back room at a show by Rolf Harris and they only had Girders. I asked what it tasted like, as I hadn’t sampled it at the time, and old Rolf put a blindfold on me, told me to open my mouth and then fired a big load of the fake Irn Bru in.Tasted ok at the time but horrible a few seconds later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Right, serious hot-off-the-press office lunchtime science: I had a bottle of the original and a bottle of the new brew, both varieties given to 5* academics in unlabelled glasses. On a blind tasting, 80% of participants correctly identified the original from the new brew. 60% thought there was a marked difference (one going as far as calling the new stuff "disgusting"), the remaining 40% thinking there wasn't much in it. So there you go, peer-reviewed evidence that most people think that the new receipe is shite. *Ignore the statistically invalid sample number here btw and just remember that "statistics are like mini-skirts.

Dindeleux Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Can you tell what it is yet? Felt like he was administering the Girders to me via a pre-heated didgeridoo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Don’t drink Bru that often, or any fizzy drinks for that matter, but I do like the odd can when I get a notion. As result, I stocked up with a case of 24 original from Tesco today for safe keeping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your daughter knows the script. Barrs will bring out the original stuff again but the damage has been done. It does originally come from Falkirk so I guess it was only a matter of time before they fucked it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I had a bottle of the new stuff today and didn't notice much difference from the old recipe however it was definitely flatter and less gassy. There's definitely a more noticeable difference when you're drinking it from a can though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
