Irn Bru


Recommended Posts

I've just bought a bottle from the wee grocery across the road from Munns on Maryhill Road. £2 seems to be the going rate. I don't drink as much fizzy drinks since they changed the recipe (so the sugar tax has worked) but if this is any good there will be a few bottles going in the cupboard for special occasions i.e. hangovers.

Wee shop on Barnes St in Whitecrook is selling it, rationed to 2 bottles per person. Had to get both my sisters to go in and pick me some up. A few bottles waiting for me to return home to in a couple of weeks!

1.99 a bottle in New Stevenston post office, one per person.

It's nice, but not 1.99 a bottle nice. Hope they make it in cans.

I assume they are worried that some folk will stockpile it and sell it on at a profit. They'll want to do that themselves when they get towards the end of their stocks...

Spanked a bottle at lunch. Can't deny im fucked off Barrs took it away only to re-release at Christmas and create a mad hype that's driven me to buy three bottles at £2.30 a pop, but by f**k did I finish that first one in about two minutes. Glorious.

Is this Bru only a limited time thing? I had thought this was just going to be an option for the rest of time.

Yep, however from recent Twitter posts, I dare say it will make a come back on a permanent basis.

I just don't understand them. To me they've played the perfect "business" game here. Cancelled a well loved drink causing huge stockpiling across the country, successfully transitioned to a different recipe, then re-released basically the original which now looks to be causing a huge burst in sales again, right before the end of the year. To take this off the shelf again would seem madness to me.

I'm assuming they will launch it as a permanent product again, off the back of what seems like overwhelming evidence that we don't care how expensive it is thanks to the sugar tax, we just want to drink the fucking stuff even if it bankrupts and/or kills us.
