In a surprise announcement, some of the most iconic ‘flavours of the era’ have rolled back the years to launch IRN-BRU Xtra Raspberry Ripple and Wild Berry Slush, transporting fans through time by almost two decades.
The stars took to social media today to share a series of tongue-in-cheek posts, taking a drink of the nostalgic inspired flavours and transforming into the looks that shot them to fame. Gareth Gates’ spiky hair, The Cheeky Girls’ cheeky outfits, and S Club 7 signature look were all back on show as fans celebrated the iconic announcement.
Returning to a time of blue eyeshadow, Tamagotchis, and flip-phones, IRN-BRU’s two new flavours are officially the ‘taste that takes you back’, taking drinkers on a nostalgic journey of flavour.
Bru’s newest recruits need no introduction:
• The Cheeky Girls, who rose to fame with their hit song Touch My Bum in an audition that went down in TV history
• Gareth Gates, who remains part of one of the most hotly debated head-to-heads in voting history with Will Young in 2002’s pop idol
• Bradley McIntosh, member of the iconic pop group S Club 7 who really did have a dream come true and star of hit TV series Miami 7
Scots will have a further chance to quench their thirst for nostalgia as The Cheeky Girls make an in-person appearance in Glasgow. The iconic duo will be stepping behind the counter at a local newsagent, donning their signature outfits to hand out the two nostalgic IRN-BRU flavours to fans. Keep an eye on IRN-BRU’s social channels for more details.
Kenny Nicholson at IRN-BRU said: “We've rolled back the years to deliver a hearty dose of nostalgia, celebrating our new releases by giving people a taste of the noughties.”
Now on shelves, you can get the two latest flavours for a limited time only. Find out your favourite IRN-BRU XTRA flavour and let IRN-BRU know via their social channels. The flavours are available in 330ml cans and eight-packs for a limited time in convenience stores and leading UK supermarkets.
