Just For The Taste Of It...

Extra is worth a try. Sugar free and quite tasty.

It's the sugar in drinks that helps hangovers.

"Diet" Irn Bru is rotten. Proper Irn Bru is quite good for hangovers I discovered, when it was free in the client's drinks machine.

I had a similar experience in Malta with Kinnie. Got totally addicted to it during a visit a couple of years ago and can't get it anywhere else other than via mail order / online.

Scotland - the only country in the world where coca-cola is the number 2 carbonated soft drink

because Irn Bru is better.

Irn Bru extra - cold or with ice and cheap mixing scotch.

Its nectar!

It's not just banned in Trump's resort, it's banned from export into the USA.

I rather like it - every now and then - but it has to be the proper full sugar stuff.

Now what I'd love to find again is Tizer

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.
