Is Bucks Fizz becoming less popular?

Hildaonpluto · 24-01-2015, 15:00

Bucks Fizz is one if my favourite drinks especially for small family parties!Love its taste and the fact it doesnt get you intoxicated too quickly while ypur celebrating

However my local Tesco Metro stopped selling it 3 days before christmas and my local ASDA stocks it in a very unprominent place on an aisles bottom "blink and you miss it" shelf.

So is Bucks Fizz losing its popularity and do you still drink it?

you can easily mix sparkling ne and orange juice,

I will be better than a shop-bought one.

I know that!My thread wasnt posted out of anxiety that I will never drink it again!

It's dropped out of fashion at weddings.

You get served boring grown-up wines as reception aperitifs these days.

I used to get friendly with at least two glasses during that boring two hours between the service and the wedding breakfast i.e. while the photos were being done.

I like Bucks Fizz but the last time I had some was at Christmas, not really seen it anywhere else

I think next year I'll make some myself

Didnt realise you could buy it already made, I thought it was just a name for a home made drink, I think I'd rather have the do it yourself version.

I mainly buy mine from ASDA and the tang/zest balance of flavour to it is a little bit heavenly.

Much prefer a Bellini, although Peach Juice seems to be quite hard to find.

phill363 · 25-01-2015, 15:58

Try the M&S one

Simon_More · 26-01-2015, 22:24

The one from Iceland and the one from B&M are my favourite. I don't even know why I started drinking it lol.

B&M really?Just shows that top brand names with a price can be overrated.

They could be any brand if they are from B&M.

zoepaulpenny · 27-01-2015, 22:56

Aye of course I was thinking they meant shops own brand

cnbcwatcher · 29-01-2015, 11:26

They were really only a one hit wonder I guess and I don't know what happened to them after their Eurovision win. I know Cheryl Baker did TV and adverts and stuff but what about the others?

I'll get my coat...

IIRC, they had over 20 singles, 3 of which went to number 1's, plus several albums. One hit wonder? I think not.

Three of the original line-up still perform the group's back catalog at various venues.

I find it far less acidic than Bucks Fizz.

I'd take a nice glass of wine over both of them though.
