Irn Bru!
I thought it tasted a bit like bubble gum when I first had it as a young teen in London.
Seems other non-Scots don't mind it either.

Alongside a post-work dram of whisky and a lunchtime haggis, delegates at Cop26 have been getting acquainted with another Scottish delicacy: Irn-Bru. Gleaming mounds of the rust-coloured drink are on sale throughout the SEC convention centre in Glasgow, and it has proved a hit with people from all corners of the planet – and a miss with others.
The Zimbabwean presidential spokesperson got the party started on Monday, sharing a picture reportedly showing members of the delegation emerging from a Glasgow Costco with trolleys full of Irn-Bru and alcohol for an event that evening. The drink, which Donald Trump banned from his luxury golf resort in Turnberry in 2018, also has a new fan from the South Pacific.
Dreli Solomon, a negotiator from Vanuatu, has drunk the orange fizzy drink twice a day since he first tried it. “It’s my first time in Scotland. I’ve never seen this drink before. I’ve tasted it and I am hooked on it,” he said, enjoying a can over lunch in the Cop26 food hall. “It’s boosting me, giving me adrenaline. I like it.”
Azeez Abubakar, a youth climate campaigner from Nigeria, has also given the drink a thumbs up. “Since I got to Scotland, it’s the main drink. It’s mostly available in the different stores and I have discovered that it’s unique to Scotland. I don’t see it anywhere else in the world,” he said at a a nearby table in the food hall.
