Can't drink the stuff since they changed the recipe to evade the sugar tax in the UK. Still can't believe they messed with it. Worst thing to happen to Scotland since Thatcher π€£

Should you like or not have access to Irn Bru, try Big Red. Similar (not same) tastes. Both good.
Deranged amazon order
Irn Bru is fantastic. Gather it at all costs.
Fun fact: it outsold Coca Cola for a few years in its native Scotland. Unfortunately changes to the sugar tax in the UK, and the changes both companies made to their products as a result, mean that Coke does now outsell it.
Triple the explosive efficacy when mixed with pop rocks /s
We had to sign for a DVD once. It was a foreign documentary about a car rebuild. But as it did not have any local age rating, it is automatically considered 18+.
Girders
Famously
I tried Irn Bru for the first time a month or two ago, and it is great. I'll randomly just get a craving for it now, and unfortunately I don't have access to it without overpaying for it on the internet
If there's a Latino market near you, try Peruvian Inka Kola. Tastes the same to me.
Inca Cola for life! I was stunned when it tasted the same when I visited scotland and tried Irn Bru lol
I've heard of it but have never seen it anywhere. I will keep an eye out
Irn.
Is that an inside out urn or something?
I think it's a secret ingredient like chemical-X or something.
Scotland
Girders, according to the old TV ads.
18+
I once had to show my ID when I was buying non alcoholic beer. Even the cashier was surprised and quietly complaines to herself: "Even [brand] now requires an ID..." But it didn't happen ever again even in the same store, so it was likely a system error.
I fucking love irn bru
Citrus is dangerous stuff.
Is it citrus?
Not even slightly.
It has citric acid in it and it's orange π€·ββοΈ
So, itβs just sour.
I've never picked up a citrus flavour, but it is certainly orange lol
You can't just deliver acid to someone's door without id.
Made in Scotland from girders.
...and enough additives to trigger your adhd symptoms even if you don't have any. But no worse than any "energy" drink, I'd guess.
It's a Scottish Aperol spritz.
Not sugar.
