To my delight there were loads of multipacks of Irn Bru on the shelves, all with the glorious red traffic light for sugar but alas it was new recipe cans and their 17% sugar content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were mixed in amongst some 17% stuff, slightly embarrassingly I had a bit of a rummage to find all the 38% ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Found some hidden away in the premier shop on Perth’s Crieff road. Although granted I did need to wash the cans before drinking out them as that shops clearly never been cleaned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a can of the new stuff on Sunday to ease a hangover and it make me feel worse.

pub car king Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 29 of those bad boys secured and now safely in my fridge. Each to be savoured and appreciated with the sad knowledge we are approaching the end of dynasty of pure sugar and E numbers. I feel I should get pished far more to feel the true extent of it's healing powers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 A shop down at the bottom of my street run by an Asian man (or the usual terminology for it if you like) is the only place locally I've seen it for a while. Found out on Saturday and mustve bought about 10 packs (8 in a pack) since. Of course I'm keeping the good irn bru whereabouts from locals so I can get more for myself and I'm not one bit guilty over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 My mate’s just been to Dumfries Cash and Carry amid rumours of original Bru. 5 cases coming my way Just been to collect my 5 cases (£8 per 24 pack at Dumfries Cash and Carry). I don’t have any kids, but I’d imagine collecting these shares a similar sense of pride as bringing a newborn home from the hospital. They’ll be rationed like a 1940’s loaf of hovis, every drop shall be savoured. Brothers of Bru, I salute each and every one of you in these troubled times, for sharing locations of the holy grail. ETA... Donald Trump is a c**t. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priti priti priti Patel Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Seven bottles of original Bru collected from a newsagent near Euston Station. Curiously intermingled with new bru so it was a sorting exercise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yeah there's a lot of raking through dusty shelves in questionable retail emporiums to find the good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Appreciate this is a banning offence but I’m starting to get used to the 17% shiteness.Also I was at a wedding in the Waterside (between Seamill and Ardrossan) at the weekend and I was not allowed irn bru in the reception suite/ball room part of the building. Asked for irn bru with dinner and was advised I would need to go sit through the bar to drink it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Had a bad hangover on Sunday and on an early morning trip to Lidl for flowers I got a bottle of the new stuff. It only added to the crushing guilt, regret and paranoia. Not good. Their intentions may have been noble but they've really fucked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
