'Mix that with Buckfast and there'll be chaos' - Glasgow reacts to Irn Bru's new energy drink

Today is a big day for soft drink connoisseurs of Glasgow with the launch of Irn Bru's new energy drink - in both regular and sugar free versions.

Promising a 'totally different taste experience' to the regular recipe, the beloved Glasgow firm have used a brand-new formula combining the iconic flavour of their top secret essence with the taurine, caffeine, B vitamins and taste of a regular energy drink.

Also, it actually has more sugar in it than either the current regular or previous recipe drink - although with a different recipe it will taste different to both.

And it's safe to say that its currently dividing Glaswegians, hitting the sweet spot for loyal fans of the drink while not impressing others whatsoever - especially those who are nostalgic for the old recipe original stuff.

@AdamCobb tweeted: "Worse than Irn-Bru 32...Revolting. My mouth has been violated. Sugar Tax ruined everything. Sad."

While @Braunscello said: "Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but it gets the thumbs up from me."

And @MadGazF1 said: "Had a sip of that Irn Bru Energy.... I think I'll need to eat some sh*te to get that taste out my mouth."
