Sherrif John Bunnell Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to make it a once a year thing like Creme Eggs. Create a bit of advertising hype leading up to December 1st and sell tons of bottles at £2.00 + a pop, then it's cruelly taken away for another 11 months after Hogmanay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the two diet ones mixed up but called both the normal one and the new sugary bad boy. Feeling quite chuffed with myself, and quite happy to continue with the two quid stuff - even though it's not quite the same. It'll be v interesting to see what Barr's do now. This is only a temporary bottle but they surely can't just take it away and go back to what they had. That would be financial suicide, surely? The share price lost 30% in the day this year where they announced their sales fall, so surely they'll need to put in place a long term high sugar option (hopefully the original and best). ^^^ What are you doing with all that irn bru dear? I'm conducting a blind taste test for my pals on the internet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 ^^^ What are you doing with all that irn bru dear? I'm conducting a blind taste test for my pals on the internet.I got small bottles. The kids also got their first ever taste of orange nectar. They preferred the sugar free varieties - which is a good sign. (I support the sugar tax as we need to get a grip on the sugar we take in - but let me buy the good stuff that these c***s got me addicted to) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this would be closer to it than it is, and they were just marketing it differently to save face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether it’s the old-old stuff and not the old stuff; it’s far, far better than the post sugar tax imposter they introduced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
