Been a while since I was in somewhere like Coscto or Makro, any idea if these places normally get the glass bottles of Bru? 

No idea, but it would wash down a nice kebab from Kebab Mahal very well.

If you are from Glasgow there is no Makro anymore, we closed it down & moved everyone to Paisley & Shawfield. All the c&c's in Scotland will be going mad trying to get as much of this stuff as possible, Stevie Ramages phone will have been ringing off the hook all day as this will be stupidly popular.

If you want to stock up yes, I would imagine that us, United & Filshill will get the majority of stock for the Independent market. I will be forward buying as much as I can from whatever stock makes it way down here for reselling purposes, not falling for that again.

I'll never forget. I'm going to haunt you until you try it, or one of us dies. Whichever comes first.

Hi Moomintroll,

We've been clear from the beginning there's no plans to bring it back and that remains the case. Although we appreciate the cheeky angling for an exclusive.

Best,
IRN-BRU

Was the last message they sent, although I have obviously changed my name.

Delighted for G_Man.

Just a warning - years of artificial sweetener abuse has left me thinking real sugar drinks taste rank. Lock away any sharp utensils before you try it.

What real sugar drinks?

Are you making a point about corn syrup, or just curious about what sugary drinks my palate doesn't like anymore?

Erm, I was just curious.

 

I don't drink any sugar free stuff, I've just moved from bru to coke for the last year or two.

 

Are you saying that you don't like full fat stuff anymore, and you've got used to sugar free versions - or is coke not made from real sugar and so now I'm worried I won't like this new/old bru.

I can't really stomach any of the real sugar soft drinks now - don't like the taste, and the consistency is even worse. They feel like drinking treacle.

I forgot which country I was in for a minute - in the US, most of the fizzy drinks have switched to corn syrup instead of cane sugar over the years (because it's cheaper), and quite a few folk complain about being able to taste the difference. Oddly, I prefer the new US versions, so clearly my tastebuds are utterly borked now.

Why are people delighted for G_Man? He’s one of the scabs that continued to buy the shite stuff, and put this delightful development at risk.

 

It’s the true boycotters that that took one sip of the rancid new recipe and vowed never to drink it again, forcing the share price tumbling, that deserve the praise and well wishes.

 

I shall be stocking up greatly, with this sugary sweet elixir.
