Irn-Bru!

[TheButler]

Did you know that Scotland is the only country in the world where Coke is the second best selling drink after Irn-Bru ?

I'd just like to see who amongst us ( that aren't Scottish) have even heard of Irn-Bru ?

 

[labgnat]

not once have i heard of it. send me a can i'll try it

 

[Sonic_Death]

I heard of it from the Chat when I talked to Froovs a lot

It didn't sound too good, but you never know!

 

[Deathblade Eric]

Is it still made from girders?

+1 I'll try anything once!!!!!

 

[TheButler]

I dunno if i can send pressurised cans through the post or i would seriously send you guys some

No one knows how they make it, I think it is Scotland's best kept secret. I sure as hell love it, in fact i never go a day without having some... scary

My Scottish friend loves the stuff, he told me it can even cure hangovers!


After doing some googling, apparently you can order it here in the USA (never seen it in a store before)

Yes it can cure hangovers. hence the reason it is becoming really popular in Russia

It isnt that secretly kept, thats a bit of an urban legend

It would ruin it to let the ingredients out tho, but it isnt anything special (ingredients-wise)

Tis an awesome drink tho

I disagree with the hangover thing, if anything it will just make them worse in short order. As will any fizzy drink.

Irn-Bru is amazing!
I'm Scottish though haha

I loooove Irn-Bru. A friend of mine is from Scotland (he moved here a few years ago) and he brought us some back one year. Great stuff. I kept the empty can just for the heck of it.

I used to pick up a few cans every few weeks, but the store in town that sold it has recently closed. I guess I'll have to order it online now.

You guys get Mountain Dew, we get Irn Brew.

I think a drinks exchange is in order !

Hi.

Never heard of it before. Apparently it's somewhat available here in Finland so I'll give it a try sometimes.

It certainly tastes like it.

You can get it here in NYC at Myers Of Keswick, the import store. Apparently it was banned for a while by the FDA due to one of the additives, sounds about right

 

[TheButler]

The ingrediants aren't kept very secret ( it has them on the side of the can) it's how they make it *please sense the sarcasim*

 

[The_D]

I always thought the real stuff wasnt exported over to the states because of the additive thing. Not so much a secret ingredient but the additives.

If you can get the real stuff dont buy Diet. It just wont be worth it. Tastes like garbage.

 

[i_got_a_mohawk]

Tis true, Diet Bru sucks

 

[Mark Wilson]

I know A&P used to sell it.
but, because of this thread, I took an hour and a half out of my night going from Store to Store looking for it.
