jamamafegan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The Irn Bru recipe change is about to happen. People are stockpiling on the good stuff and a petition has been started to stop the change, a change which will see the sugar replaced with some vile sweetener. Are you stockpiling Irn Bru for the future? Is it all a sham and we’ll still get to drink our beloved drink as it is? Do you think it will taste the same anyway and you’re not concerned? Or are you currently freaking the f**k out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It was on the BBC new, Scottish and national. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-42565363 Personally I prefer the diet stuff (same with any juice/ginger/pop) as I find 'full fat' too sweet. Unless I'm hanging out my hoop then full fat 'Jock juice' is the very ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Nothing like this fuss about killing off Moray Cup for good. A wee change in recipe, aww bless. p.s. bit slow then. Edited January 4, 2018 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnHearts Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 TBF to Barrs, they must have spent a few quid on development. The 'old' sugar free Irn-Bru was rank, but the new Xtra isn't bad at all. Was close to assaulting Mrs LH when she brought home some own brand Iron Brew from Morrisons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 All their other versions of it have been shite. If Its anything like that xtra stuff ill be by with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes nothing like Irn Bru and standard Diet, whilst pish compared to the real deal, is much better. Can't drink the sugar-free Bairnardo. Even down here when the proper stuff and Xtra is sold out, there is always sugar-free left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm still recovering from the death of the Irn Bru bar. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I had a taste of the Xtra a while ago, and it was absolutely rank rotten. Genuinely one of the worst drinks I have ever had the misfortune of trying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 They're between a rock and a hard place. While sugar is certainly less damaging to the human body than the artificial shite in the diet stuff, there is the equivalent of eight teaspoonfuls of sugar per can. That's actually shocking and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. I normally prefer the educational route myself, but sometimes a harder line needs to be taken... -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I’m tempted to ask hedgecutter where Gman lives (he’ll even tell me what bus to get), stealing his stash (it’s no doubt plentiful after Christmas) and selling it back to him at a premium. Anyone wanting in needs to put in cash up front but I will split the takings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The sugar-free stuff has been my drink for years, but I can only feel for @G_Man1985 during this dark time. Hopefully this is just Barrs pulling a New Coke type stunt to increase sales. Hang in there, brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Why don’t they just continue making the original recipe but charge more for it? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
