I haven't had it for a while. I went off it years ago after the Irn Bru type alcopops came out. It wrecked my throat.


I do remember having burbon and Irn Bru a long time ago. It was quite nice IIRC.

I am Scottish so it is inbuilt in me but I love Irn-Bru. I drink it all the time. However, I am very clumsy and nearly everything I own and parts of my home have Irn-bru stains. I can only imagine the colour of the inside of my stomache!

I don't live in Scotland and I LOVE Irn Bru.

It is a great mixer with spirits and a good handover cure too

I use to drink it years ago, but I had some a few months ago and the taste was different for some reason, and not in a good way, couldn't even finish the sickening drink.

As for Irn Bru 32, I prefer this energy drink but then this isn't very tasty compared to others on the market.

I love Irn Bru (am drinking some right now) but then, I am Scottish

It tastes best out of the glass bottle for some reason. The one you get 30p for returning (which I do)

I used to drink it quite a lot but realised it was affecting my sleep as I hadn't noticed it contains caffeine.

Agreed.

Love Diet Irn Bru.

Is it wrong that I love the fact it goes flat really easily though?

In a two litre bottle the first half is always fizzy then the second litre is always flat, it's like 2 different drinks. Both excellent. lol

Morissons do their own version at about 75p if you're feeling skint, tastes as good as the real thing too.

I've introduced it to a lot of non-Scots who all love it - but they still never seem to buy it!

I prefer the diet one too, but only because I'd be the size of a house if I drank the ordanairy one at the rate I do the diet one!!

ASDA do a diet version too, but Morrisons and Lidl's ones are the normal variety
