Scotty Tunbridge Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I also miss the good stuff, but if I had someone willing to buy a multi pack off of me for £20 I’d take the money easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 By my reckoning there is 58.5g of sugar in a pint can, is that correct? That's 14.6 teaspoons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50/50 Winner Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 In the past week or so, I've managed to buy 40 cans of the good stuff at my local newsagents. I'm going to try and make them last a while but that probably won't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Nooka Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Unfortunately it looks like Barrs masterplan may be paying off. A colleague in work who strongly detested the new Irn Bru and refused to drink it has now confessed to having a couple of cans at the weekend and not being able to tell the difference. It's now been at least 6 weeks since I had a real Bru and I'm getting a bit fed up with Coca Cola. Also noticing more and more places not even bothering to stock full sugar drinks and this is pissing me off even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticing more and more places not even bothering to stock full sugar drinks and this is pissing me off even more.We did the Irn Bru taste test thing at Cairnie Fruit Farm the other day. I couldn’t tell the difference but it’s been ages since I had Irn Bru so it’s a poor frame of reference. Sister in law has a PhD in Chemistry and she says she can definitely tell the difference and it’s not for the better.I had a can of ginger beer the other day. I wasn’t a fan of that with sweeteners.Had a can of Lilt recently and it still tastes ok even though it presumably had sweetener in it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the f**k difference does that make? Getting a PhD doesn't improve your tastebuds. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a PhD doesn't improve your tastebuds.I was thinking more along the lines of knowing what the various ingredients do. Maybe that makes her think she can taste a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Haven't touched a drop of the new stuff since a taste test. I'm genuinely worried about the future when I run out of the real stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 My stash has gone and the funky shops I relied on have run dry. Full sugar soft drinks are being stamped out for example inenjoy vanilla coke bit that's now diet only, if you go to somewhere like pizza hut you can only have diet. This is fucking bullshit I've been alive nearly 40 years i want the choice between sugar and shitty cancer inducing sweeteners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Coke stays the same I can handle it, but almost every other brand has changed to a shitey sweetener based flavour, it’s revolting. Nowhere is allowed to do free refills now either unless you have diet which is another kick in the balls. If Coke ever changes the recipe I might have a full blown heads gone. I also still have about 90 cans of old Bru. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 20 pence more than the unlimited diet (and shite) options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I was told in another (lying b*****d) restaurant that they had to remove their unlimited refill offer due to the sugar tax. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
