Soft drinks fans have voted for ‘Tropical’ and ‘Ice Cream’ to become the two new limited-edition Irn-Bru Xtra flavours this summer.
Almost 13,000 votes were cast in a Facebook public vote, with Tropical and Ice Cream declared winners. Both will now go into production at Barr’s factory in Cumbernauld; the new drinks will be available in Scotland from mid-May.
Irn-Bru’s Facebook followers were urged to get behind their favourite flavour and 5,300 chose Tropical while 4,000 opted for Ice Cream, meaning Candy Floss (2,400 votes) and Marshmallow (1,000 votes) didn’t make the cut.
Adrian Troy, Head of Marketing at Barr Soft Drinks, said: “The battle was fierce, but our fans have spoken and chosen Tropical and Ice Cream as our limited-edition summer flavours. We’re always looking to give shoppers something Xtra and we can’t wait for these two new phenomenal flavours to hit shop shelves.”
The two limited editions will be available in 500ml (RSP 99p) and 1.5-ltr (RSP £1.29) bottles across Scotland.
