    When I was in the middle (Dubai) I had a phone call late at night from Mr Barr himself, He was trying to get into the middle east market & wanted to know if we could make the cans for him, ( I was in the can making buisness). I put him onto our sales team. IRN BRU-SCOTTISH WATER OF LIFE.

    This is a snip of a quote from Caledonian Kitchen's website:

    Scots, globally acknowledged as the descendents of hairy, sword-swinging, kilt-wearing hill dwellers, are not the typical audience for soft drinks, and their choice of IRN-BRU marks them as unique.

    ....hairy, sword-swinging, kilt-wearing hill dwellers... I kinda like that.

    Just might have to order some Irn Bru. Always been partial to Orange Crush.

    It doesn't taste much like Orange Crush, but maybe a bit more like Orange Crush mixed with Cream Soda (?). It's a unique taste. Tizer is good stuff too.

    I love IRN-BRU

    I found a place to get it in Edmonton. They sell regular and ginger, I don't recall there being any diet.

    You know, I love irn-bru but I can't drink it anymore. (It has glucose syrup which has gluten in it.)

    As for the flavour, my fiance tried it once and once only. This was her review.

    'It tasted like a mix of orange juice and bubblegum that had gone bad and was so full of caffine that I couldn't sit still for the whole train journey from London to Aberdeen.'

    I guess it really is an aquired taste.
