I spoke too soon. This from "The Scotsman":
"According to new figures, the United States giant Coca-Cola is winning the battle for Scotland’s £525 million soft drinks market, knocking the domestic champion, Irn-Bru, off the number one spot in the struggle for supremacy.
Scotland was long one of the few countries in which a domestic brand outsold the iconic US product. But according to the independent industry ratings experts AC Nielsen, standard Coca-Cola now leads the way in "impulse" buying - which includes purchases from outlets such as convenience stores, petrol stations and off licences - across the country with sales of £23.4 million."
