Irn Bru!

[Daystar Clarion]

I am sorry to correct you, but you have this backwards. Hadrians Wall was built to keep out the The Bru drinkers. You see, it is just too tangy, to mind-blowingly orange for a normal human too consume it and keep his sanity.

Worse still, it gave its drinkers the courage of Satan himself. These were a people not to be dealt with, and must be avoided.

For hundreds of years, we quarantined our northern brethren, lest the orange madness spread, until, on our travels we discovered the cure. (and promptly did the decent thing of invading the country it came from)

After years of trials, in the early 1700s it was deemed that they had calmed down enough to let them mingle with the rest of us.

I'm sorry but who is Head Professor of Irn Bruology?

A subject that I totally didn't just make up and have been Head Professor of for more than a thousand years?

You?

No, I didn't think so.

Well sir, you are clearly not keeping up with modern developments in the field (specifically, one 5 miles north of Kilmarnock). The problem of holding a position for too long I suppose. As Chair of the Institute of Beverage Studies I have, working with a crack team of sniffer haggis' unearthed archaeological evidence from the Irn Age which clearly supports my quarantine theories.

Hmm, interesting.

The Irn Age you say?

Yes, I'm familiar with the obscurity of that time period.

This requires more study, and by more study, I mean drinking more Bru.

Only inferior beings need taste such beverages. For by tasting them, they are granded a surge of energy, which, in their blissful ignorance, they believe to be the very essence of the gods.

How wrong they are.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

God Irn Brew is the most awful drink in the world.

Hate that stuff. DISPOSE OF IT ALL!!

You too.

Get out.

I don't want to see you on my internets.

You need to get out until you make another fantastic British food thread.

Is that all I am to you?

A deliverer of British food based threads?

once in cadets we pissed in someones iron bru...they didnt notice the difference

so yeh, i hate iron bru, but lucazade is the good stuff because it actually works well as an energy drink

I read in the newspaper that Lucozade contains more calories than you're burning during exercise, they're meant for athletes and if your exercising it's best to drink water. I think I read it in the Mirror.

Daystar I think you'll find this is the greatest beverage in the omniverse, Irn Bru's retarded cousin that is sweat from the pits of Lucifer himself.

RED KOLA

The Anti-Bru has reared it's ugly head.

Prepare yourselves men...

It's cheaper than Irn Bru by one pence *Evil laugh*

Is it anything like Big Red? Because I'd like to put that up as America's entry in the nectar of the gods contest. It may not be as well known as most coke, pepsi, or heck, Royal Crown products, but who can say no to bubblegum flavored soda?

My Electronics teacher is Scottish and he lives off the stuff. I was in his office on review day and he had about 20, 2 litre bottles around the room, the guy is crazy.

I don't think it's anything like big red I've never tried it. I read about it on wikipedia and it doesn't seem anything like Big Red. Wiki reckons that Red Kola is made from Kola nut extracts.

Oh, so it literally is a red cola, then. That would be interesting to try sometime.

Edit: Interestingly enough, according to Wiki, it's pretty much to cola what Big Red is to cream soda. Big Red isn't technically bubblegum flavored; the bubblegum flavor is a byproduct of what happens when you try to add citrus flavors to the vanilla of a traditional cream soda. It was originally called "Big Red Cream Soda" because of this. Red Kola is the same thing, except it's what happens when you add fruit to the flavor of the Kola Nut instead of whatever it is that makes Cola not unbearably bitter.

I want to try it. I love trying new sodas.

Plus they have wacky commercials.

From my own region, I recommend birch beer. It's tree flavored.

I've had birch beer. It's like Root Beer from an alternate universe where everything is better.

Edit: Heck, there ought to be a thread for "pepsi and coke suck for suppressing all of these awesome regional beverages." Is it too hipsterish of me to say that for every coke or pepsi product, there's a smaller company making a better equivalent?

I'm trying to think of another flavour to compare it to, but I just can't think of anything that tastes like Irn Bru.

One time I accidentally confused my red birch beer with a sarsaparilla. So gross.

It looks like Peach Mello Yello to me. But I don't think it's peach flavored, that doesn't sound particularly Scottish.

Scorned by my fellow man, this is the part where I turn to villainy and vow to take my revenge.

But in order to do that...

That's quite a cool fact. I love cream soda it's awesome, it's more awesome when you put a scoop of ice cream into it.

Nah, it's not really a fruity flavour.

It tastes more like a type of candy, I think that's the best way I can describe it.

Dear boy, I love this post. It's a disappointing truth that too few know of the wonders of the Bru. Irn Bru is like drinking fucking Scotland itself.

In fact, it's more than that. Drinking Irn Bru makes me proud to have entirely Scottish forefathers, to know I'm part of a Clan, to know that my people died for this most godly of beverages.

You sir, are an Irn Bro.

Captcha: sick puppy. Yet another thing Irn Bru is designed to heal.

I hate shortbread, everything in scotland that biscuit based is shortbread. Caramel slices shortbread base, cheesecake shortbread base, down in england cheesecake and caramel slices don't have shortbread bases.
