Probably out of date now. I had what will probably be my last ever can of the old recipe yesterday- absolutely delightful. Went to help my parents at their holiday home and there was a can at the bottom of the fridge as they don't drink it and it had been forgotten about! I walked by there today. Was tempted. I'm down to my last 4 cans in the house 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barr won’t see a knock on effect for a while so there’s probably no chance of ever getting that sweet orange elixir again. I pretty much ignore Irn-Bru now. Cherry Pepsi Max or Coke Zero for me now. Used to never turn my nose up at a can of Bru. I'll buy it very rarely, then feel dirty. Had a can of the good stuff on Saturday, followed shortly after by the new stuff. It's even worse than I realised. Got about 16 good cans left - dated June. Pretty much a Sunday treat now as I now have weekends off for the first time and, like a child, I can't stop myself getting pished on a Saturday. My dad threw some out before Christmas as no one drinks it there now and it was out of date. I was raging 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My stock is about 30 cans now, but go out of date in June. Will need to up my intake. Haveng bought new Irn Bru since trying the first can of it. Only drink Coke now if I want a fizzy drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until after the summer it really disappeared from the shelves, so I'd be amazed if this year didn't show a drop in sales this year compared to last. As I've said before, boy who owns my local roll shop said it's gone from his top drink to selling very little in the space of a couple of months. I'd imagine there's shops up and down the country saying the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I think my pile is all dated June as well. I fully intend to be drinking the stuff in several years' time, purely out of spite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I tried the "xtra" stuff, and I've grown to like it. I await the personal attacks from the "proper stuff" brigade. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 It would be scandalous is Coke became the biggest soft drink in Scotland because Irn Bru cut the sugar what was the margin the Bru held over Coke is it likely to be a win for the red tin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar tax & min alcohol pricing. Just waiting on a chippy tax & then I'm away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 In hindsight the amount of sugar in the original recipe was pretty frightening. I would’ve quite easily polished off a two litre in one day after a night out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 There's a massively out of date bottle in Inveraray Jail. Would still drink it before the New Shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
