It shows just how much Pepsi and Coke overprice their shit, when you can get a can of Irn Bru for 39p.7moreDead said:Ja suis adore le Irnbru...But Often bru threads get so out of hand...I am not sure why it could be the madness that one gets just thinking about its sweet sweet taste or gods know what...Daystar Clarion said:Let me ask you a question. A very important question.
When was the last time you drank the sweat of god?
If your answer is anything other than 'I'm drinking it right now' then shut the hell up and feast on my teats of knowledge.

Don't push, there's enough to go around.
When you think of Scotland, what comes to mind first?
Kilts?
Sean Connery?
Haggis?
Unintelligible English?
Those are all good answers, but they are all wrong.
The right answer is Irn Bru

It's okay, I'll give you a minute.
Notice the colour?
Does it look familiar?

Okay, I'll giver you another minute, but no more!
There is a direct and infallible correlation between the consumption of Irn Bru and the colour of a Scot's hair colour.
But this isn't why Irn Bru is the best soft drink in the Omniverse.
Irn Bru is the only soft drink that has caused wars.
Remember Brave Heart

Ignore Gibson, he's not important.
Notice the background?
Has your mind been blown?
The First War of Scottish Independence wasn't fought for independence, no, the Scots wanted to keep the secret formula to themselves, the treacherous bastards.
This wasn't like the American Revolution, oh no, we didn't really give a toss about them.
No, this was a war the English were not willing to back out of.
The Great British Food God demanded that the knowledge of the Bru be shared by all his people so that discord may not be sowed.
"But Daystar, you furtive pygmy you, Why Irn Bru and not Iron Brew?"
That's a good question.
And now for some actual facts (no, really).
Well, back in the day, a drink could only be labeled 'brew' if it was actually brewed. As we all now know, Irn Bru is not brewed, it is sweat from the mighty pits of god himself, so how was this obstacle overcome?
Change the name? No, that would be to admit defeat. Take out a couple of letters, that should fool 'em.
And it did.
To this day, Irn Bru outsells Coca Cola (blasphemous American beverage) in it's home country.
It's so good that cows consider it a personal insult not to be consumed with the beverage.

See?
And cows never lie.
Never.

It's also stupidly cheap!
oh. thank you for telling me, but do they sell it in toronto?Formica Archonis said:Yes we do. Several drinks with the name, actually.bullet_sandw1ch said:can you mail me some? in canada we dont have that supposed nectar of the gods.

Find a place that caters to the Scottish, or at least has a lot of international stuff. Superstore carried it, but that was years ago. No idea about now.bullet_sandw1ch said:oh. thank you for telling me, but do they sell it in toronto?
I See your crude Scottish sparkling beverage, and raise the Nectar of the gods.... or the French,.Daystar Clarion said:The Snip Monster
But they do. You can occasionally find it in Irish/Scottish pubs and Brussels' larger or more exotic shops. Not saying it's easy, but it's possible.RustlessPotato said:Belgium is so insignificant they don't sell it here.Daystar Clarion said:Dude, s'all good.RustlessPotato said:Mr. Clarion, I search your wisdom and inquire information about this Bru. It sounds like it is a beverage casted straight down from the gods, It looks like pure energy from the Sun! Releasing this to the unprepared world surely will cause it to collapse, no ?Daystar Clarion said:Don't be mad because of the snip !

Oh how I long to taste this Bru, but I fear it would be to much for my weak mortal body. Surely only the Chosen Ones could stomach the Bru. If only I could, if only I could. How does one expose themselves to the Bru for the first time and be sure it will not kill them ?
Just drink it.
They do ? I must prepare for my quest at once !Alien Mole said:]

All hail Irn Bru. @_@
