Can't drink the stuff since they changed the recipe to evade the sugar tax in the UK. Still can't believe they messed with it. Worst thing to happen to Scotland since Thatcher 🤣
Should you like or not have access to Irn Bru, try Big Red. Similar (not same) tastes. Both good.
Deranged amazon order
Irn Bru is fantastic. Gather it at all costs.
Fun fact: it outsold Coca Cola for a few years in its native Scotland. Unfortunately changes to the sugar tax in the UK, and the changes both companies made to their products as a result, mean that Coke does now outsell it.
I tried Irn Bru for the first time a month or two ago, and it is great. I'll randomly just get a craving for it now, and unfortunately I don't have access to it without overpaying for it on the internet
If there's a Latino market near you, try Peruvian Inka Kola. Tastes the same to me.
Inca Cola for life! I was stunned when it tasted the same when I visited scotland and tried Irn Bru lol
I've heard of it but have never seen it anywhere. I will keep an eye out
We had to sign for a DVD once. It was a foreign documentary about a car rebuild. But as it did not have any local age rating, it is automatically considered 18+.
Triple the explosive efficacy when mixed with pop rocks /s
Girders
Famously

Girders, according to the old TV ads.

Irn.
Is that an inside out urn or something?
I think it's a secret ingredient like chemical-X or something.
I once had to show my ID when I was buying non alcoholic beer. Even the cashier was surprised and quietly complaines to herself: "Even [brand] now requires an ID..." But it didn't happen ever again even in the same store, so it was likely a system error.
I fucking love irn bru
I find it so pathetic when people order things like this.. must have been so productive with all that time you save
Ah yes, let me just drop on by to the store around the corner in [insert basically anywhere other than the EU] that regularly stocks a specific German soda.
GTFO
Irn Bru is Scottish
Beware of Scots in warpaint for the foreseeable future. There's a reason it's called "Scotland's other national drink".
Other than that, heaps of reasons to have it delivered indeed. When I broke my ankle it's how I got my groceries.
Irn Bru isn't available throughout most of the world without ordering it online
I find people like you to be a complete waste in society
ah now lads come on with ye
People getting really defensive in here, I agree with you bud.
Ordering groceries is something else than ordering a single soda :) and there's definitely some classist undercurrent about white collar worker's time being more valuable than deliverer's or service staff.
I ordered a six pack of Irn Bru a couple months back because I live in the US and have no way of trying the soda otherwise
Ok, but do you think the OP was talking about someone like you? I think it's not too generous to interpret the OP as saying: they dislike people trivially ordering things they could've spent some of their own time on collecting instead. Since they mention the timesaving after all. And I feel like they mostly meant the instant-delivery services rather than just ordering something online, but who knows.
I think if you're unable to buy it nearby and you order a reasonable quantity online you're not who OP meant.
See, here's the thing: they made a generalized comment on a screenshot of what looks like an Amazon order. That makes it seem like they're talking about anybody who orders food online, regardless of whether it's Door Dash or 5-7 day shipping. There's no way to tell from that photo whether that's a single can or a box of 30.
And that timesaving comment has the same levels of sarcasm as any "lazy youth" remark.
Besides, if you're willing to pay somebody else a decent wage to deliver something for the convenience to you, what's the issue? At that point it's no different from ordering at a restaurant or deli - pizza places have had delivery drivers for half a century! Should we be upset with people who don't cook all of their own meals?
That makes it seem like
According to you, I think that's an ungenerous way to read OPs comment. Just Irn Bru would be a strange grocery list.
Pizza delivery is a result of suburban living, more of a necessary evil than a commendable goal imho. I'll just briefly say because I don't know whether you're genuinely interested, but I do kind of think the world would improve from a reduction in paid labor, particularly of the undesirable kind. And that does ultimately come back to a hierarchical valuation of people's labour, if we valued everyone's time equally it'd make little sense to pay for one's own convenience at the detriment of someone else using their time on something worthwhile.
Made in Scotland from girders.
...and enough additives to trigger your adhd symptoms even if you don't have any. But no worse than any "energy" drink, I'd guess.
It's a Scottish Aperol spritz.
