Irn-Bru fans STILL pining over axed pre-sugar tax recipe despite makers bringing back 1901 version with MORE

IRN-Bru fans have been reacting after makers revealed they were bringing back an 118-year recipe - and they're STILL demanding the return of the version ditched because of the sugar tax.

We told how AG Barr are launching the limited edition drink - crammed with more sugar than their axed original.

The “old and unimproved” 1901 fizzy pop formula from the firm’s archives has 10.6g of sweet stuff per 100ml.

The classic pop — axed last year after a new sugary drinks tax — had 10.3g.

New Irn-Bru 1901 has MORE sugar than axed pre-sugar tax recipe

Fizzy juice fans were outraged last April when the sugar content in Irn-Bru was halved and replaced with a sweetener-laced fizz.

More than 50,000 signed a petition demanding a U-turn.

And the latest launch still doesn't seem to be appeasing them.

One drinker said on Twitter: "Give us the proper, more recent recipe @irnbru - it’s not rocket science."

Andrew Gallacher said: "They had one simple task bring back irn bru so that it was the same as before the sugar tax but no they bring out this s***e. Scamming b******s £2 a bottle f**k off. Just get the normal irn bru back."

Callum Murphy wrote: "Never mind 1901 just give us back the original and best!"

Stephen Clark added: "What do we want? O

UR OLD IRN BRU RECIPE BACK. When do we want it? WHOA WHOA NOT THAT OLD!!!"And the fact there is actually more sugar than in the ditched recipe seemed to be lost.

Another punter added: "B*****S IT AINT THE OLD ONE WITH SUGAR it's gonna be s***e and £2 a glass bottle. Just in time for Christmas... Original Irn Bru to relaunch."

We told earlier this month how Irn-Bru die hards were being tempted with out-of-date cans of the original recipe drink on eBay — at £100 a pop.

One seller was offering a four-pack with a best before date of May this year for a walloping £399 — plus £1.50 for delivery.
