Irn bru is great. Reminds me of the eighties for some reason. Tastes a bit like lucozade original

Irn Bru flavour (note the correct spelling).

Like Lucozade and (he states tentatively) Cream soda.

Irn Bru is awesome! Tastes like summer.

Dr. Pepper, on the other hand, is like drinking Germolene.

We used to call these simply 'sticky buds' as we threw them at each other:



I never knew they were Burdock till just now.

Rust gives it the distinctive flavour and colour!

Irn Bru is great. one of my favourite drinks. you have to drink it more to get used to it. I used to always buy it in school/6th form as it was priced 15p where as everything else was 45/50p.

It's apparently Pear Essence, no idea if that's true or not though.

Scotland is the only country in the world that Coca Cola isn't the biggest soft drinks brand I think.

As others have said, it's Irn Bru flavour, and it's the only drink to outsell Coca-Cola in any country I believe. It's fairly unique. You can taste the quinine in it I think

One of my Irish exes described it as bubblegum flavoured piss. I couldn't disagree more, a glass bottle of Irn Bru is one of life's ultimate pleasures for me.

It gets its colour from the Sunset Yellow FCF and Ponceau 4R, not the ammonium ferric citrate.

I'm not sure what it actually tastes of either.

Brilliantly refreshing drink though, especially when ice cold.
