    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.

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

    I wish they brought back diet coke with lime, not a fan of cherry coke

    I haven't seen cherry coke zero on this side of the Atlantic. Dublin Airport Boots do lime and cherry Diet Coke, as well as Diet Irn Bru.

    The Irish branch of coke seems to be manufacturing. Have seen it all around the place, although only in bottles thus far.
