How cool is Irn Bru !!! (or Diet Irn Bru for me).

I am working this week in a canning plant where Irn Bru, Orangina and all sorts of pop is canned and i have been drinking it all yesterday and will continue today. The stuff is lovely.

Gonna try and take a crate home with me.......

Does anyone else outside of Scotland like it this much ?

Dave

Most Scots are weaned on it As a hangover cure, Irn Bru and a fry up cannot be beaten

Does this mean that you are in Ecosse this week?

Irn Bru is lush. Tizer aint bad either. Mountain Dew - well maybe the Red Alert (cherry) version.

Anyone remember Quattro in the 80's?

Irn Bru is the ****. I like it even though it loses its fizz quickly.
I also drink it to stick a fat index finger to the cocacola machine
(Scotland is the only country in the western world where coke is not the No.1 soft drink, two guesses what is )
oh and hangover cure. You cant beat it!

Irn Bru: superb stuff. remember buying two cans on Haymarket station in summer '74. It'd been a long, hot, dry day, and the first went down without touching the sides.

Irn Bru is the stuff!
Glass bottles are the best agreed. Only can get 'em in chippies though.

Rob Walker: laughed at the idea of going round people's houses asking for bottles to take back. We never thought of that on our council estate, we just climbed over the back wall of the "offy", nicked a few bottles, then went round the front and cashed them in

hmmmmm, you drink Irn Bru. Do you smoke regal King Size?

Thats what I was asked when I first met my boyfriends very english brother when I had a can of Irn Bru hanging from my mouth. Funnily enough I do smoke regal King Size.

Irn Bru is the daddy, but it is laced with sugar. **** loads of it too.

Aye, 'ah boatil ay ginger an twa paracetamol' soon sorts out even the worst hangovers

Irn Bru seems too sickly sweet for me now though, Diet is the way forward.

Astraboy, AFAIK, Sunny D knocked Coca Cola off the No1 spot a couple of years back and they're still fighting to get back on top!
