Just wondered peoples thoughts on the way this has taken off , not whether it is a nice drink or not but the explosion in sales of it , ads have only recently been on TV etc but I have never seen a product take off so quickly

Around here it is now selling so fast that it is hard to get hold of , went out last night and everywhere had sold out , supermarket today was just an empty shelf , is this the same everywhere ?


oh and can you all stop drinking it please so that I can have some :D
 
^ errrr :confused:


in the early days it was only sold in pubs but now is availalble in supermarkets ( well they at least have signs in front of an empty shelf )

Word of mouth. Almost everyone I know has been recommending it since about a year ago.

certainly seems that way , I first started drinking it about 3 years ago in Amsterdam ( they have it on draught here )

if it is word od mouth then can you please all shut up until the supply chain improves :p

had to make do with Strongbow Sirrus tonight , while better than nornal Strongbow it is so obviously a product rushed out to jump on the bandwagon

For the OP , You're not missing much , fizzy , well marketed and overpriced.

it had already taken off before any marketing/ads hit the street

have to agree that it is overpriced though but if they can sell all they can make at the inflated price then they are going to

to some extent but I think Carling has a very watery taste , I can drink Fosters of Carlsberg just have never been a fan of Carling

It does seem to have taken off, but I'm not sure why - Its allright but nothing special tbh. Give me my Kopparberg any time :)

not tried the cider, did try the perry and that was 'orrible
 
not sure how folks say it is down to marketing , its was very poular befoe any ads and marketing had even started , just a drab looking bottle shoved on the shelf with dozens of others
 
wonder what they do to may it stay fizzy on ice , I tried a normal can of strongbow with ice and it went flat as soon as it was poured on
