Desperately seeking Robinson's High Juice Blood Orange flavour

BB78

After several years of drinking only Robinson's Blood Orange squash my local Tesco's has stopped selling it & I can't get it anywhere.
I've called Britvic & they said in an effort to promote their own High Juice range Tesco's have decided not to stock Robinson's Blood Orange anymore! Apparantly Asda have agreed to stock it but Britvic say the decision is on a store-by-store basis & they do not know when it will start to arrive in Asda stores!
This has left me with a major problem as I don't drink tea, coffee or fizzy drinks & can't find any other flavour squash that I like!!
I used to make sure I drank 1.5 litres of water (in squash) a day but I'm lucky if I drink .5 of a litre a day now & with the warmer weather I'm getting more & more thirsty!!
So I'm on a desperate hunt for anywhere stocking Robinson's Blood Orange High Juice. I get through 3-4 bottles a week so if I have to buy it by the case then thats fine, I live in Crawley, West Sussex so anywhere in a 25(?) mile radius??
I'd also to be interested to hear if anyone spots it further afield but I think it'll work out expensive to have it delivered/posted because its heavy; unless anyone can come up with any other idea's??

Has anyone spotted this?? anywhere??

Sorry, I've had no luck even though I've looked all around my local area. It may be worth approaching your local shop or pub to see if they could buy it from Britvic for you.

I too have spent months looking for this juice, it's the only one I can drink. My local Tesco still stocks robinsons high juices just not this flavour. I find this a bit stupid as there is no Tesco blood orange for it to rival. I live in Wirral so it apears that it is not to be found anywhere in the country. Unless anyone knows different?

I can't beleive we can't find this between us all. I know you've contacted Britvic direct BB78 but I've e-mailed them again with a link to this thread. It's got to be worth a try.

Just had a look at Asda.com online groceries, they haven't got it but they've got something similar - maybe you could try that to see if you like it? It might be available in store. It's called Asda Extra Special Cordial - Blood Orange & Pink Grapefruit (although I guess it depends if you like grapefruit!):

They also have one called Belvoir Organic Cordial Blood Orange & Mandarin (but it's a bit pricey!): http://www.asda.com/asda_shop/rc04_products/web_rc04_b_products_detail.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0305918216.1211018663@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdcadeeddlfhhdcfkfcfkjdgoodgmh.0&product_id=2464372&from_panels=&trolley_page=/rc03_trolley/web_rc03_a_trolley_body.jsp&item_status=I&on_promo=No

Britvic won't tell me who stocks it only that some Cash & Carry's stock it & Asda have agreed to stock it on a store-by-store basis. I've approached my local Asda & asked them to stock it but they say they will only stock it if the demand is there!



I've tried Asda's Blood Orange & Grapefruit; its not bad & its the closest thing I have found that is drinkable but its not the same. :sad:

My friend owns a pub but frustratingly they deal with Schewps not Britvic. :sad:

Britvic reckon they have had lots of calls/complaints since Tesco's stopped stocking it; I can't believe its still being produced but no-one can find it anywhere!!
Has got me thinking that if I do get my hands on any I should stick it on eBay instead of drinking it; seeing as its rarer than gold dust!! LOL!! :rotfl:

BB78

Had a letter from my local Asda Manager saying they will only consider stocking it if there is demand for it; but if no-one knows that Asda are allowed to stock it how are they going to let the store know they want it stocked!!

Tesco's was a blanket NO! to re-stocking it or even just getting a whole case & selling it to me :-(

Have you got a local cash and carry? Bookers or Makro maybe.
If so give them a call and see if they stock it, then if they do try your local pub/business to see if they have a card for the cash and carry and pop there and get a few cases.

Worth a try :beer:

No Makro nearby, just phoned Bookers & they don't stock it :-(

Called Britvic again & spoke to nice lady (who'd seen my eBay comment & found it funny!) and she said try Waitrose or Morrisons. No Morrisons nearby; will have to have a look for Waitrose. Or she suggested speaking to Tesco Head Office as it seems mean (& down right ridicoulous to me!) that they won't buy a case & sell me the whole case! Its not like they lose out if I'm buying the whole thing!
