Indeed. I remember waking up at about noon the day after the the millennium Hogmanay at my uncle's place in Hawick (not thinking how the **** did I get here?), going downstairs and my uncle offering me a drink...

The Snowman Irn Bru ad is clever mind

Haven't seen it but I am sure we can make it like everything else.

After Uni plus a few extra years in the city that smiles better I am a convert to Irn Bru.

Also the adverts are top drawer...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHAUV4-Bzq8

It's sometimes available, but it's not always the Scottish produced product so check the label if you need the genuine thing.
Lulu is the market that most often stocks, and occasionally Tamimi though have not seen it there for a long time. Often available in Bahrain.

up until a few years ago, scotland was one of the few places in the world where a local soft drink outsold coca cola.

I dont mind it now and again (it has my name on the can after all (Barr).!

Pretty popular all over the UK now and, strangely, Russia is a big market for it?

The chippy at dubai marina sells it as well and not too bad with fish and chips and 5 pickles!!

Correct. Bobs used to deliver me dinner 4 nights a week and I always got a can of Irn Bru.

My old man, being a Scot, told me it really, actually, definitely, honestly was made with parts of girders.

I believed that until I was about 17.

you mean it isn't? damn (im 33!)

I'm genuinely not joking. I told someone stone faced that it was when I was at college. It took a moment on wikipedia and a lot of people laughing at me to realise that my Dad is a joker.

Classic comments, lol.

I'm glad it may be available.
It would be easier for me to break a 'crack' habit than to stop drinking Irn Bru tho!!

I found a bottle in Lulu in Doha a couple of weeks ago....not sure if they're in Saudi as well?

My god that made me very damn happy, even though the price of a 500ml bottle was 50% more than a 2 litre bottle of coke

Best bit was it was imported from Scotland, with an Arabic sticker on it, tasted perfect, all I needed to find was some tottie scones and I might just have had a trouser accident there and then - not to be though!

They're good, but these are better.....absolute belters

Do not forget that a pickled gherkin together with 330ml of Irn Bru will remove any hangover.
