Hello, I couldn’t see anywhere to put feedback for correction of errors, so I’m just putting it here and hoping someone can pick it up.
So, I was looking at old “Barratt”- brand cans, there aren’t many and they are all based around sweets from the 90s era, which is also when these cans were around. Anyway I noticed that the “Refreshers” one (probably the most memorable one due to its stripy colouring) was missing, which I was quite surprised about. A little look around and it’s in a typo brand called “Baratt”. Would love to see more of these types of cans, as I believe there were some more (maybe 1-3 extra - off the top of my head I remember fruit salad, and maybe refresher bar flavours, and possibly applejacks/other-jacks, drumstick lollies, dip-dabs and double dips, although this last one is the brand “Swizzels”, but same ballpark of drinks). Anybody got any to add?
Secondly, another can from the 90s I remember was called “Orange Plus”. This is actually listed but I was wondering if allcans could provide more images of the side/back for it? Additionally I remember another flavour in this range called “Tropical Plus” but I can’t find this. Would love to see this also. Anyway this indicates to me that potentially “Orange Plus” is not the brand name but rather a line/sub-brand, any ideas on this, allcans?
Lastly why is the “Irn Bru” line named as “Iron Brew”? This is in the “Barr” brand.
Cheers,
Andy
