A rather garish coloured soft drink with a unique taste. Something you had to have grown up with. A bit like that brown hot water you like....what's it called again??..... oh yes, Tim Hortons coffee!!

It's a carbonated soft drink, kinda hard to describe what it tastes like, but it's nice in vodka and really good for a hangover.

Liquid bubble gum. That's how a flatmate of mine described it.

B**locks! Excuse the vernacular but I'd say that the disgusting brown goop they call Root Beer over here tastes like liquid bubblegum.

Irn Bru is definitely for the discerning palate though.

...and Raine is right: it's tastes great with Vodka.

Yes I think you can manage perfectly well without Irn Bru in your life, unless you are an unstable diabetic in need of a quick sugar fix!!!

(Don't get excited anyone, that wasn't a poke at unstable diabetics!!!)

I was once at a meeting with a guy who I could see was going off the boil. I could NOT persuade him to eat a Mars bar I bought for him, as he was past the point of reason by then and he ended up in hospital that night! .... maybe if I'd had a bottle of Irn Bru available .......

Well, the flatmate didn't grow up with Irn Bru, so allowances have to be made. Not everyone has as discerning palates as Irn Bru drinkers.

Irn Bru + vodka = class in a glass.
