Barr's Irn Bru (Iron Brew)

Nemici

Does anyone like that crazy drink Irn Bru,

its the scottish lucozade. Some people think its vile, me I drink it like water.

very tough to get in the shops though !

nosmo

Mmm.. I loves it I does.. Although it stains everything orange if you spill it.. just a warning

Nemici

i also found out that ants love it, I spilled a bit out my back garden and a colony of ants marched to the spill and drank it dry.

(now they are a race of Orange super ants)

went into Lidl shopping for phood once. once you get over the smell of travellers its not THAT bad (sic).

neway, they have imitation irn bru (spelt Iron Brew). tastes identical to teh real thing, something like 50c a 2 litre bottle!

Irn Bru rocks. Made in Scotland - from GURDURS! Used to drink it all the time in Glasgow, it can be had around Dublin though.

Irn Bru is the business

That "iron Brew" stuff is easily told apart. It's a total el-cheapo knock-off, like those little 26p bottles of Coca-cola used to be when we were kids

Señor Juárez

well if it tastes identical, why would it matter?

fisty

i think its rank on its own, good with vodka though

Señor Juárez

with vodka? urghh... actually now that i think of it, that could be quite funky

I love it.... as do most Scottish ppl I've met... They told me something about the health risks associated with the colouring in it... ah well...

Señor Juárez

health issues? do tell

Duffman

Hrm... I think they said something about the colouring not being approved in any other European country...

Señor Juárez

except in scotland? or the UK as a whole?

sharkman

Yeah , As far as I know both contain Quinoline Yellow which makes Kiddies and us adults too ( thanks be to got ) Hyper-active .

I love the stuff

The only place I can every get it though is the Centra [think that's the name of the shop] beside the Abberley Court [Tallaght]!!

The stuff from Lidl is too sugary/sticky for my liking!!

The proper Irn Bru is a sharper & tastier.

i remember irn bru in its soda stream from, manky as far as i was concerened, but my brother loved it and still does!

suppafly

i think its fairly nasty now!! Its way too sweet!!

Used to drink this stuff in Glasgow from the ice cream man when I was a kid. Then they had it out over here years later, and it tastes completely different to what I remember. Don't know if they changed the flavourings, but I preferred it when I was a wee boy!
