cdhafc1874 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Having not seen any in weeks I have just purchased a 6x500ml bottle pack of the original Irn Bru from a Co-op in a location I won't disclose other than to say it's in Lanarkshire.Saw the packs with the newer yellow sugar warning of 13% of daily intake per 250ml then spotted packs underneath with the red warning of 29% & my eyes lit up - £2.99 per pack [emoji3] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So too early to say yet I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Had my first dabble with ‘New’ Bru today... Heartbreaking how obviously different tasting it is. I see no point in them continuing to make Irn Bru Extra as they just taste the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no point in them continuing to make Irn Bru Extra as they just taste the same. It reminds me of really shit coke (the drug not the fizzy drink) in the way it leaves you completely unfulfilled but yet still going back for more in the hopes that it will get you somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t drink much fizzy stuff but I definitely won’t be purchasing more Bru unless I stumble across the old stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm actually on a plane to visit the Mrs in the states. She wanted irn bru but didn't get her any since the recipe change there's no point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother isn't a big fan of onions but my mum has been slipping them into his food without him noticing for about 10 years, I see no reason why Barr's couldn't pull a similar trick. I'll try a blind test and see if I can taste a difference, if I taste the difference then I'll just stop drinking it. I only have 1 can maximum a day anyway so I'm really not that arsed. I do think they could've left it as it was though and maybe brought out another Irn Bru to this less sugary recipe, thus giving the choice to the consumer. If they started slipping onions into Irn Bru, I think you'd notice pdq. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 6 hours ago, Rugster said: A good point! Contained within the first two lines, even: The maker of Irn Bru has reported its sharpest annual rise in sales of the soft drink, up by 8%. AG Barr issued its figures for the year to January Of course the headline is nonsense, but "Irn Bru sales go up as people stockpile before a pointless recipe change ruins it forever" isn't as snappy, and Barr probably wouldn't like the fact that the truth hurts. 2 hours ago, throbber said: It reminds me of really shit coke (the drug not the fizzy drink) in the way it leaves you completely unfulfilled but yet still going back for more in the hopes that it will get you somewhere.

I certainly bought much more than usual, simply to make the most of the old stuff while I could.

jamamafegan Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Sales rise is only down to people rushing to get the good stuff. They are fooling no one. The sales will drop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanquinho. Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 As devastating as this whole situation is, it's heartwarming to see the level of frothing, vile abuse they are receiving any time they dare post another one of their shitey ads on Facebook (mostly from me tbf). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boot in the pie wouldn't have been unjustified IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
