I thought I was getting some orange soda or something, but colour me surprised when it turned out to be lethally sweet iron brew. Like the old stuff.

I’m so happy

Originally sold as Iron Brew, the drinks makers A.G Barr were forced to change the name of the drink in 1946 following a change in the law that stipulated that the marketing of products required to be “literally true”. As the drink did not contain much iron, nor was it brewed, led the company to changing the name to the presently used Irn-Bru

Weird law.

Mountain Dew would never make it.

Nah it’s closer to Kola Champagne/Inca Kola if you’ve ever had it. It tastes like sweet, like the platonic concept of sweet, a bit like bubblegum but also just kinda indescribable

Irn Bru doesn’t taste anything like cream soda. Unless we’re talking about different cream sodas.

Possibly? I’ve only had it once ages ago, and there is a video by a comedian here who described it tasting like creaming soda and I was like yeah that’s vaguely how I remember it tasting. We may be talking about different things though.

No idea what the flavour actually is, but it’s nice
