    Forgot to reply, don't bother, it's gone.

    Must have been a small single consignment they got.

    I also had a look (for curiousity) in the €2 shop because their stuff is "grey market" imports from the UK I think, no joy.

    Yeah I went in Saturday and got 4 cans there were 2 left but prob not for too long!

    Might try centra they do get some odd drinks there.

    Supervalue might get em back when they realise they sell. They were only 97 cent

    It tastes like dog p1ss.

    How much are people willing to pay for this nectar? Might be worth setting up a Boards shipment so we can all get a discount.

    the petro station at the junction of Rochestown Avenue & Pottery Road (near Baker's corner) is selling 2 x 500ml bottles for €3.60, not sure if it's the American version though.

    Apparently the Red Shop in Dalkey is selling bottles of it for €1.60


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 427 ✭✭RebelScorned


    Mortons on Hatch Street have cans for €1.15 mark I believe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭FullblownRose


    After yearning for Vanilla Coke yesterday (I loved the stuff), it has come to my attention that the coca cola site has relisted Ireland as a seller of Vanilla coke.

    So if anyone can find any vanilla coke in a shop, or lying around, report in! :D


    Mrs.Murphy's sweet shop Ennis. Possibly other 'old fashioned'sweet shops too


  • Registered Users Posts: 451 ✭✭Rocket19


    Got it in "Sugar and Ice" sweet shop in Enniskerry (Wicklow).
    One can is 90c.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Madladroi


    Two shops sell it in Letterkenny. One is The Olde Sweet Shop (Cans, American - €2 each) And Superdrug (Bottles, English - One for €1.60 or Two for €2.45)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 290 ✭✭mollydolly271

  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith

    Oh my GOD, the €1.50 shop in the Ilac in Dublin have 1.5 litre bottles for €1.50, no more being ripped off AND it tastes great. :D:D

    Boards openly supporting discussion about people's coke addiction and where to get their next hit, absolutely disgusting, children reading this and all, this countrys gone down the drain, no morals, no hope.

    Do you know where we can get cheap good coke or not, because if not you're wasting our time? *twitches sporadically as she speaks*

    Saw some in the Spar at the end of Tara St, on the Quays. Think it's Georges Quay?


  • Registered Users Posts: 67 ✭✭seanpjs93


    It's for sale again in the UK...so is the UK stuff for sale in Northern Ireland? I got the American Import stuff before, €1:50 for the can, it wasn't great, it just didn't give me the nostalgic flavour, I then found out it was because they don't use sugar in american coke, so when a friend from the UK read the were bringing it back, she immediately told me knowing how much I've been wanting some for so long...she's still taunting me to be honest. I would think ASDA or Tesco in the north would stock it because of it being a UK store chain in the UK. Has anyone been up there and seen it?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,095 ✭✭✭SeanW


    spotted the stuff in the €2 shop in Harbour Row shopping centre in Mullingar - it's in an open fridge beside the counter, you have to look closely because it's not well marked.


  • Registered Users Posts: 96 ✭✭Clondalphian


    Got 3 cans for 1.49 in Dealz in Drogheda on Saturday. Went down yesterday and there was only one can of it left. Shelf was full when I went saturday

    They have tons of it in Dealz in Cork.

    It's the U.K. stuff though so nowhere near as nice as the U.S. version but at 3 cans for 1.49 it will do :)

    He probably just didn't know when, so he said they weren't.

    Dealz in Carlow has a hape of it.
