Found these in Asda Swansea, there are 2 different flavours but can't remember what the others were, we had mixed fruits. There are pallets of them by the exit. My son picked me up a few cans last night.
Possibly store specific to Llansamlet but not certain.

The cans are 440ml while the larger bottles are 500ml. Please let me know where I can buy either of these for around 56p.

Clueless restaurant or bar? You say that you're hardly ever out, you are clearly of the older generation as you've been drinking for 3 decades. So maybe these clueless establishments aren't so clueless because they know you never leave your house so have no need to stock your strongbow! They stock it with drinks that their customers who actually leave the house more than once a year want to drink. That to me makes perfect business sense.
Hot.
Goodnight.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby, hope all is ok being premature. All the best :smiley:

One of the worst ciders ever made. It shouldn't be called cider, it should be called a sugary alchopop.
As for branding pear cider - errm, that's perry!!
Bit like calling hot chocolate, coffee - imagine the uproar
Unfortunately, almost every clueless restaurant or bar is substituting drinkable mainstream cider with this muck (I'm not after anything special draft thatcher's, stowford press and even strongbow are fine).
Been drinking the odd tipple of cider over the last 25-30 years its getting pretty frustrating if I'm out (which isn't often now) ill have a cider but at this rate ill start bringing my own. This stuff makes even blackthorn cider look brilliant.

Quite agree, bloody branding and styling over substance. Should not be allowed to call Perry, Cider.

The bars and restaurants sell this because it sells. Personal taste is exactly that, personal. Please move along.

Well if you call something like strongbow or woodpecker drinkable mainstream cider then i think id rather stick this sugary alcopop down my sneck instead!

I fail to see the point of you posting in this thread, you won't influence anyone who likes it.
Despite what you think it's a good price, no, its a very good price, hence why its getting heat.
Whether it is a good,bad or indifferent product is irrelevant, this site is about the monetary value of items, if you've voted cold because you don't like it, you've failed to grasp the concept of HUKD, sadly there seems to be more and more like you voting this way, if indeed you did vote cold due to the flavour of the tipple.
Heat from me.

Actually no, it's not Perry, it's pear flavoured cider (i.e. made from apples), if it was made from pears it would be Perry, totally different drink, totally different taste. These are actually not bad.

It always amuses me when people confuse opinion with fact. Thanks for your contribution all the same, but try not to get too upset. I'm off out now to look for things I'm not keen on and then I'll let everyone I meet know my opinion. I'm sure they'll be interested.

Here's news for you: if it won't sell, they won't stock it. So, they don't keep YOUR PERSONAL FAVOURITE because you would be the only one drinking it.
It reminds me of a decades long regular at my local who stormed off permanently in a girly huff because the landlord wouldn't keep London Pride on tap any more because he literally was the only person who drank it and she was having to sell it off at below cost, or throw it out, before it aged and became stale.
Stop moaning, stay at home and get your artisan, esoteric cider from wherever you like, or move to the West Country. Women like Kopparberg and Recorderlig; the sort of women who aren't attracted to moaning men.

Tap water costs roughly £36.50 per month :wink:
I can confirm I haven't drank 32.5 litres of water this month therefor its not cheaper as I'm paying for water I'm not drinking :smile:

I'm currently in Singleton Hospital with my premature baby, I think it would be frowned upon for me to leave to pop over to llansamlet to pick up some cider

No, I'd have an issue if they DID call it Perry!
Perry = proper Pear cider made with perry pears

Why do people feel the need to state their views on why they won't buy a product which they don't like. Have they not considered that other people might actually have different tastes to them? These deals aren't always aimed specifically at you..

any update - are there still some left - Swansea local here lol = fab deal if still available= fingers xd

Cold - these are only the "fun-sized" 330ml cans, so this deal works out as around £1.12 a litre, or the equivalent of 56p for a standard sized 500ml can which isn't that spectacular.

£1.12 for a litre of Koppaberg is a deal isn't it ? As a normal bottle of Koppaberg is about £2.50
HUKDDUDE to UncleWilly
21 Jan 16#21
A 500ml bottle is usually £1.99- so it is spectacular value!

Each to their own, everyone. Thanks OP for posting, though it sounds likely to be store specific. The cans are, usually, 330ml, which may be what this deal is referring to. The pack is often of 10 cans for around £10, so 15 cans for £5.60 is a bargain for those who like it.

Are they short-dated or something?
As a former asda employee I think they'd only do this (if it is store specific) if it was short dated or massively overstocked.
Good find though :smiley:
