RiG Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The Sainbury's at Meadowbank had crates of the stuff when I was in the other day. I've barely had any Irn Bru since they changed the recipe come to think of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near Gatwick by chance? I managed to get loads of bottles from B&M last time round, not noticed them in any of the corner shops round my way at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a pretty large B&M so will take a look there as well. 3 hours ago, Ekhibee88 said: Sainsburys and Morrisons had it in last time but only in Scotland. I don't get why they don't put it in cans or small bottles Yeah I don't ever recall seeing it in a supermarket here last time. Asda didn't have it when I was in during the week but admittedly I don't go into supermarkets very often. I guess the price of the 750ml bottle ultimately means that a can of it would be some thing like £1.20, which people likely wouldn't pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Spotted this can on my walk today. Couldn't see a best before date on it. Looks ancient. Predates the modern ring pull which must have came in about 1990 or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent about 10 minutes wandering round the store yesterday trying to find 1901, gave up and went to the self scan checkouts and that's where they had stuck all the crates 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 This is a step in the right direction, but the best stuff is still the 37% sugar. This isn't quite that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this stuff have more sugar than the "full sugar" stuff? Im genuinely surprised that, if they wanted to go down the route of a permanent high sugar addition to the range, they didn't just bring back the previous good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be the best by a considerable distance and an acceptable drink that they've been lacking though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been about 3 years now since I had the "old" stuff so granted I've probably forgotten what it tastes like, but I don't really detect a difference between that and 1901. Doesn't taste any different to me, at least from memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
