IRN BRU what have they done

Has anyone noticed that IRN BRU has changed it is now a lighter colour and is less fizzy and tastes YUK. I have been trying to fing out what has happened and I am getting different stories every where I go these include. The EEC has ordered that some ingredients are removed,a mistake at the factory and they got the mixture wrong,The formula has now been changed after the death of the only man who knew how to make it and the worse one of all some say they are now using english water so the IRN BRU now tastes limey.

i dont think only one guy knew how to make it.......the "secret" ingredient is just an advertising gimmick

maybe just a bad batch?

Irn Bru in glass bottles tastes the same as it's ever done. Irn Bru in plastic bottles doesn't taste the same and leaves an aftertaste in the mouth and Irn Bru in cans has a slightly metallic taste. When I lived in England there was a discernable difference in taste between the Irn Bru you got down there and the stuff you get in Scotland.
