Default Irn Bru panic as fans stockpile before recipe change


Fans of Irn Bru have started stockpiling the soft drink ahead of a planned change in recipe.

Makers of the fizzy favourite are changing the formula of the product to cut the sugar content by almost half.

It is part of a sugar-reduction programme by AG Barr before the government levy on sugary drinks comes into effect in 2018.

But fans have launched the "Hands off our Irn Bru" petition, attracting more than 6,000 signatures.

Irn Bru drinkers are angry after the manufacturer revealed the new flavour would appear in stores in January.

They have been taking to social media to vent their dismay, with stories of people buying up to 250 cans mentioned but not substantiated.

Get your irn bru now to avoid disappointment!

Irn Bru is the best drink ever though so they better not change it.

They already have a sugar free version so should leave it alone.
Can we all not think for ourselves now...and make our own decision on if we want the sugar or not.
Ruddy nanny state.
