Paj! Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Might need to be Scottish to understand it. I'm scottish, and think they're bizzarely mediocre at best. But then I hate hearing the scottish accent on adverts. Unless it's a highland accent. Also I have no opinion on football.
Diageo Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Well it's an interesting joke of an ad, but does it advertise anything? Besides saying sleep with Brazilians.

Diageo Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 What is Irn Bru? Some sort of alcoholic beverage I would assume.
Retro_Link Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 What is Irn Bru? Some sort of alcoholic beverage I would assume.It's a soft drink, kind of the Scottish equivalent of Tizer. Though while we're on the subject... what the fuck is Tizer! Like Tizer it's bright orange... though I don't think either taste of orange.

Like Tizer it's bright orange... though I don't think either taste of orange. It's an orange coloured fizzy drink which doesn't taste of anything you'll have had before. Tizer is made by the same company, AG Barr, coincidently.
Paj! Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Irn Bru does taste a bit strange. Nice, but I never have it out of choice, really. You can feel the fizz rotting your teeth as you drink it. I never understood the naming of it...is it meant to be some sort of version of a scottish accent?
Ashley Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 It is thought that the name 'Irn-Bru' originated with the re-building of Glasgow Central Station in 1901. When workers from the William Beardmore and Company Steel Works in Glasgow were dying from the large amounts of beer drunk to quench their thirst from the heat of the steel works, an alternative was sought. A local soft drinks manufacturer, A.G. Barr, approached the steel works and eventually a contract was created to provide the workers with this drink. This unnamed drink later went on to be known as "Iron Brew" because of its connections to the steel (and iron) works. Irn-Bru's advertising slogans used to be "Scotland's other National Drink", referring to whisky, and "Made in Scotland from girders", though the closest one can come to substantiating this claim is the 0.002% ammonium ferric citrate listed in the ingredients. Wiki knows all.

They aren't allowed to have 'Brew' in the name which ir originally was so they decided to change the name to Bru and also take a letter out of 'Iron' too.
Raining_again Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I freakin love Irn Bru!! And the Irn bru bars... I used to live on them as a child! Although I drink the diet stuff - I can't bear wasting so many freakin' calories on liquid! The diet stuff is very fizzy/gassy, but still tastes much the same.
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Irn bru bars... I used to live on them as a child! They were sex in chewy bar form. It's fucking disgarceful you can't find them anywhere now.

Dyson Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Classic ad. Tizer is shocking. As a kid when they had the red head on the bottle that stuff was delicious, but now it just tastes of fizziness. Irn Bru on the other hand is gorgeous.
