Irn Bru
Can I get some in Canada? I picked up a couple of bottles in SF yesterday, and it really reminded me how much I liked the stuff when I lived in Edinburgh. My wife, after exhibiting some initial scepticism, has become rather partial to it now, too. Can we buy it through ex-pat shops, or will we need friends/family to pick up some before they fly over?
Happy Sunday, by the way. |

Re: Irn Bru
have seen it in a couple of supermarkets over here - but only wee glass bottles, no big bottles.

Re: Irn Bru
I'm sure I've seen it in Superstore here in Saskatoon.

Re: Irn Bru
Available in Ultra Fresh, Zehrs, Food Basics etc..
Just little bottles though. The Scottish shops in Fergus and Elora sell the 2 litre bottles....for a price. |
Re: Irn Bru
is it my imagination or is stuff like this becomming more readily available? I mean Walmart even sells Pataks now - I'm sure they didn't when we first got here as I could only find that sort of stuff in some supermarkets!
The life of the UK care package is doomed!:rofl: |

Re: Irn Bru
Take care when looking for your Irn-Bru that it does not say that it was bottled in Toronto.
The Canadian version of Barrs is not a patch on the "real" thing made in Scotland. When I was in Canada last year, I heard that they had to ban Scottish Irn Bru sales for a short time until they changed the recipe for the Canadian market. Hence the version that is bottled in Toronto. Something to do with it containing a chemical that is against Canadian laws. GW |

GW On this topic: I noticed that Ultra Fresh are now selling Bru in 375ml plastic bottles. Still the best hangover tonic in the world. |

GW I know Mountain Dew for Canada was different until they rebranded it as an "energy drink". I thought previous Irn Bru problems were due to non-bilingual labelling, but I don't know, I've never bought any here. |
