mizfit Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I stopped drinking full sugar drinks last year so not had the new one yet.The Xtra one is okay though, I’ll be happy if it tastes like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firm expects revenue of around £277 million for past year, up 7.5% on previous year. Barr says 99% of its drinks will be exempt from sugar tax levy by its April introduction. Still not tried the other ane yet Sales are up because folk have been buying as much of the proper stuff as they can before it disappears. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found there was a very slight different after taste, similar to a diet Irn Bru but not quite as strong. It tastes fine. Sorry, these two statements do not correlate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise everyone will have a different reaction to it, but I honestly thought it tasted more artificial than Diet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I had a can of the new stuff and it definitely tastes different. Very sickly sweet. Wasn't a fan however I suspect I will still buy it when I'm hungover but less often overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I've just checked the bottle I bought this morning and it's a new one. I hadn't noticed any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with you that Diet isn't good but I don't feel the new can is anywhere near as strong as the taste you get from Diet. You can taste the sweetener but I don't find it so sickening that I can't drink it any more. 22 minutes ago, KnightswoodBear said: I realise everyone will have a different reaction to it, but I honestly thought it tasted more artificial than Diet. Aye, as above I could definitely taste the sweetener but overall I thought the taste was pretty similar to the original. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggysBeard Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm one of the rare fuckin weird b*****ds that prefer Diet Irn Bru to the normal stuff, it just tastes like syrup to me. It's a marketing scam anyway, why would you tamper with a product that is already so dominant. What they should be working on is the reintroduction of the irn bru bar... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I prefer all diet soft dinks. I particularly hope though, that manufacturers are allowed to keep putting the stuff that colours them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted. Out of a can they are very different, but apparently in a glass it's harder to tell. No idea why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
