    They are changing the recipe so it now has 50% less sugar. Don’t really drink ginger anymore but if I do it’s usually Irn Bru. If the new stuff tastes like that diet pish then I won’t be buying it.

    I doubt most people will notice a difference to the taste and slightly healthier Irn Bru is a good thing.

    I find the Irn Bru Extra tastes fantastic and better than the normal one anyway.

    The Irn Bru Extra tastes like the chew bars.

    Doesn't effect me because I don't drink full fat Bru but you can thank the Government for the change regardless!

    Don’t understand the fuss about Irn Bru. Give me a Club Orange any day.

    I think this is to do with the sugar tax. If they have less than 5g sugar in every 100ml I don’t think it applies. Many other drink companies are following suit.

    Much is a bag of sugar going to cost fs. It's got 100g of sugar per 100g.

    Folk are going to be smuggling kilos of tablet over from France, bags of sherbet will be disguised as cocaine.

    I think it's a * disgrace.
