When I was in the UK Poundland did 3 cans of Cherry Coke for £1. I know an Irish branch called Dealz has opened up in different parts of the country so maybe try there.

Ironic username is ironic! :pac:

Yeah, I got that deal in the recently opened Poundland at the back of Erneside in Enniskillen.

Lol, I actually took the name from an Eagles of Death Metal song having never previously tried Cherry coke. Since that Poundland deal I've tried it and love it

Tell me any pound shops selling Vanilla Coke cans, cherry coke etc.. they're importing them from america, and while obviously applying a mark up I'd gladly pay €1.50 for a can of the stuff, isn't it €1 in most takeaways/shops by this stage?

Take A&W rootbeer for example.. you can get them at Asia Market around Drury street for 95 cents per can last time I check.. compared to 1.50 and may I remind you that 1.50 does not even include shipping..

Not sure about Cherry coke but as other poster had said pound shop sells Cherry 7up and they are 5 for 2Eur.

Look I'm not here to argue with you, all I'm saying is that the drinks are a bit steep in price with the markup relative to other items they sell, therefore not great value.. the sweets however does look decently priced

A few of the Asian supermarkets have 2L bottles of mountain dew, though it is probably not the EU one which is not the same as the US as said.

Same with vanilla coke, though I think many prefer the vanilla coke which was out here.

amazon also sell stuff free delivery if over £25

For all cherry coke lover following this thread, I was in 'Dealz' at Blanchardstown and they have cherry coke (330ml cans).. 4 cans for 1.49 Eur.. They also have 1.25 litre bottle for 1.49 Eur also..

That's absolute value right there..!

Pity cherry coke is not my thing

Basq · 22-12-2011 06:29PM

My local pound shop is selling 4 Cherry 7UP's for €1.50.. anyone ever tried that?

phasers · 22-12-2011 06:47PM

I have Basq, when you first try it it tastes a bit weird but it sort of grows on you. I love it now.

I had a sip, said "That's disgusting!" and ended up drinking the whole can in one go!

Had a can before it's alright, would rather cherry coke myself.

daytob · 22-12-2011 07:14PM

Only in bottles & we all know a can tastes so much better :-)

MagicMarker · 22-12-2011 10:11PM

I still don't understand why Dr Pepper isn't sold in cans here, or diet Dr Pepper at all. The diet stuff tastes exactly the same as the regular stuff, which is awesome.

daytob · 22-12-2011 11:17PM

I think Dr.Pepper is in can form in the iceland stores. I may be wrong though

comongethappy · 22-12-2011 11:19PM

thanks a mill OP - it's a great link to have! Brings back many childhood memories just looking at them! I recommend to everyone here to get a can of root beer and some vanilla ice cream, and have yourself a root beer float

I bought some of the Australian brand that comes in the glass bottles (can't remember the name!) and made my friend's son a root beer float when I was minding him, he loved it

Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke are both available from Dealz in Blanchardstown (and some other locations around Ireland - dealz.ie) for the grand sum of ....

4 X 330mls for €1.49 .... yes, €1.49 for 4 .... glug glug :cool:

Headshot · 22-12-2011 11:23PM

I wonder why shops dont stock it, what's the worse that could happen?

Applejack sweets are extinct

My local Poundshop also sells Lilt...

.. might pick some up today. Haven't had it in years!

Squidgy Black · 23-12-2011 02:37PM

They sell A and W rootbeer in a few of the spars in bottles, it's a bit pricey at around 2 quid but it's worth it.

Demios · 24-12-2011 09:39AM

Thanks OP for the linkage. I placed an order with these guys and they were nothing but professional, even threw in a few free cans of Mountain Dew for good measure!

I will be dealing with them in the future. Red Vines and Hot Tamales available in Ireland. Bliss.

All credit to tabitharose over on HUKD.ie for this..

Candyland.ie

They're actually quite reasonable.. well, they're far more reasonable than some of the prices quoted by UK sites (as postage tends to be the killer): Milk Duds for €1.79, Twizzlers from €1.90, Reeses Mini Peanut Butter Cup for 20c each.

Free shipping on orders over €50.. so useful if you get a couple of friends together to make a mass order. Otherwise - it's a €5 shipping up to 30kg.

*drools*
