Sales of coca cola are through the roof, irn bru has completely collapsed because they took the sugar out. Went from 2+ pallets a month of irn bru 2ltr to 4 cases and coca cola has increased to 4+ pallets from 1. Probably the same nationwide in scotland anyway.
Has been the same on everything. Monster and redbull kept the full sugar and suddenly we sell loads where as before it was rockstar who cut sugar and nobody likes anymore.
They also ruined lucozade.
I have to say I was totally unsurprised when Irn Bru 1901 with full sugar & no artificial sweetener appeared just before Christmas. The only surprise is that it's taken so long to launch. Wonder what the margin is at a selling price of £2 for a 750ml glass bottle.Has been the same on everything.

I noticed at the weekend a bottle of the traditional red Lucozade had a "contains glucose" advertising tag on it - maybe Glucose Aid will be going back to its original recipe before too long as well?

The thing is there just wasn't any need for if they already had a sugar free one.
