    Has the novelty of this worn off?

    People were saying it was flying off the shelves but there was crates of it in my local shop today.

    Still not tried it, won't be trying it.

    Why didn't they just keep ordinary Bru and bring out the lower sugar Bru? That way people had a choice?

    Numpties.

    Tastes * tbh

    Don't know if it's because I haven't drank many full sugar drinks for years.

    Your talking * then. Tastes like diet my *. It's got more sugar than the one took away.

    Just so you know, once the glass bottles are done there coming out with 500ml bottle since it's been such a success. So irn bru is here to stay. You heard it hear first ;)

    I’m only passing on what he told me, he doesn’t really have any reason to lie tbh.

    edit: yeah having checked it seems you are right the recipe changed worldwide, link was in the Sun and Record so I can’t post it.

    I always felt the bru you bought in Spain tasted different anyway.


    Still waiting to try the 1901 stuff.
    Will be happy if they are legit willing to bring it out long term as well, even if it will be in plastic
