When it comes to cans of juice there is one that stands above all others in Scotland and that is, of course, the mighty Irn-Bru. However, it's not the only Scottish drink that we go crazy for.
At one point, there was another cult drink, this time made in the northeast. Famed for its bright red colour, and a delightful fruity taste, Moray Cup was much loved. Rivalling even the ever-present Irn-Bru in Aberdeenshire and Moray, it was sadly discontinued in 2017.
Originally made in Macduff, Banff, by a drinks company called Sangs, the ever-popular drink, which was regularly sold in chippies across the northeast, first came under threat in 2012, according to this look back by Aberdeen Live.
With Sangs announcing they had fallen into administration, a campaign was posted online to try and save it with thousands of people signing the petition and leading to the brand being bought by a new company called Cott Beverages.
The drink continued to be produced, but became increasingly hard to obtain, until it sadly came to an end in 2017.
A spokeswoman for Cott Beverages confirmed the drink would no longer be made and blamed the decision on the UK sugar tax, introduced back in 2018.
The spokeswoman previously said: "With the UK sugar tax approaching as well as the cost of materials, we have determined that we are no longer able to viably produce the Sangs Moray Cup range of drinks.
"We would like to thank our consumers for their loyalty and we appreciate that the brand will be missed.
"If at some point in the future circumstances change, then we will revisit our analysis on this range of products."
In a bid to try and save the infamous red drink, individuals from the area set up a page on Facebook called ' Save Moray Cup '.
A petition was made by fans to try and save the locally produced drink, but unfortunately, they were not able to do so.
Distraught, one fan previously said: "All the more reason for local ownership of our traditional companies. Surely one for Alex Salmond to campaign on?! Moray Cup is my favourite - how could they."
Although there is a Moray Cup-shaped hole in our hearts, at least we can reminisce about the times we could walk into our local chipper and grab a bottle or two.
