    Not quite, they don't do the carbonated drinks for Tesco.


    Macaw Soft Drinks Ltd used to do the carbonated drinks for Tesco, Macaw now bought by Cotts.

    However with Tesco Macaws supplied from the Midlands up and another company supplied the south.

    This was a while back, so if it's changed I don't know.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
    (OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)
  • Princes Soft Drinks produce the majority Tesco's carbonated soft drinks.
  • Cheers, David.

    From Princes' website:
    Princes is owned by the Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) – Japan's largest general trading company with over 200 bases of operation in approximately 80 countries worldwide.

    Definitely not Cott then. :D

    No not Cott - hope not in the future either as I'm employed by Princes. :D
  • I tend to buy the 37p bottles of Lidl's Diet Irn Bru (which has never even seen Scotland until it came here on the delivery van!). I'm sure my passion for the full price stuff partly contributed to my debts in the first place!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Bringing this one back from the depths after finding it on a google search.

    Asda own brand Cola (not the really cheap stuff) 39p for 2 litres type.

    Has it changed ? been drinking it for years but this weeks bottle tastes awful.

    Anybody else had the same ?

    Could well have changed as they changed some of their other soft-drinks a year or so a go and they had a lot of complaints then.

    Cheers, I have emailed them so I'll hopefully hear back what they say.
    I checked an older bottle & they seem to be the same.

    Such a good saving on Coca Cola & Pepsi, certainly a third if not a quarter of the price. I hope its not a long term change as I prefered Asda's one by far compared to their competition.
