Caramel slices shortbread base, cheesecake shortbread base, down in england cheesecake and caramel slices don't have shortbread bases.

If this is true, and the citation needed tag isn't hiding a horrible lie, god bless Scotland. Any country whose solution to thirsty workers dying of alcohol poisoning is replacing the beer with a soda instead of, I don't know, water, is awesome in my book. Makes me proud that a good chunk of my ancestry is Scottish.Wiki said:The name Irn-Bru is said to have originated during the re-building of Glasgow Central Station in 1901. When workers from the William Beardmore and Company Steel Works in Glasgow were dying from the large amounts of beer drunk to quench their thirst from the heat of the steel works, an alternative was sought. A local soft drinks manufacturer, A.G. Barr, approached the steel works and a contract was created to provide the workers with this drink. This unnamed drink later went on to be known as Iron Brew because of its connections to the steel (and iron) works.[citation needed]

Did you know the e number in IRN BRU is known to cause hart attacks, which is how you know it is a Scottish thing 'cos as Marcus Brigstock said "Scotland is totally unafraid of scurvy and I admire that! Only the Scots would Scotch an egg, "you know what that egg needs? MEAT AND BATTER!"".Daystar Clarion said:Snip

Even I, in all my half English/half Irish-ness, have to bow down to the superiority of Scotland in the soft drinks world. Irn Bru will blow you fucking mind! If this drink could talk, surely it would say (in a broad Glaswegian accent) "What're yoo lookin' at yoo fuck?"
That said, no one, and I mean no one, can beat the Irish when it comes to alcohol. Russia? ***** please.
Also, something else to add to the good.ambitiousmould said:irn bru is fine. each swig is like a carbonated dose of orangey goodness from mother earth's rockery. it's one of the best things scotland has to offer. there are bad points about scotland too.

I find that it gives you short burst's of isometric energy, followed by a long lasting sugar high which i find useful when im exercising, trekking, fighting or playing but im not worried about losing weight as im already in shape i just train muscular power, muscular endurance and cardio-vascular with a tiny bit of muscular strength so i find it useful.ToTaL LoLiGe said: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.HarryScull said: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
