Cherry Coke in Ireland

Jimmy Bottles · 01-02-2014 5:13pm #1

Made a little discovery today. Saw both bottles and cans of Cherry Coke being sold in a Spar today.

They've been on sale in the likes of Boots and Deals for a while now. But these are imported bottles and cans from the UK.

Anyways, took a look at the label and these are being produced by Coke Ireland. Expect Cherry Coke to be sold in just about every shop up and down the country over the next month. Looks they are pushing it too as they have a special label inviting you to drink it on the front of the fridges.

The 0.5l bottles of Cherry Coke have been sold in Boots, some Spars, etc. for years though. Would be nice if they bring it back properly though.

It has been though. The label shows that its being produced by Coke Ireland and two shops I've been in over the weekend are now stocking it, when they didn't stock it the week before.

Just to say, I saw them for sale at the following 2 shops:

Spar, Little Island, Cork
Fitzpatricks, Glounthaune, Cork.

Still waiting for tab clear to make a revival. Remember seeing it in the train station shop in bray as a kid one year. Think it was gone the following year.

Just about every shop I've been in today is now stocking Cherry Coke.

I'm guessing that Coke Ireland are doing a trial period to see if sales will be high enough to maintain Irish production indefinitely.

Dealz stores sell it by the pallet load on a weekly basis ,its gone from something you see occasionally to pretty much available daily ,

I don't suppose they're selling Cherry Coke Zero as well?

Yep, seen it in 2 - 3 local shops in the past few days.. including one shop (Spar) advertising to try it specifically. Had a bottle last week.

Hope it's around for good!
