IRN BRU: What is this stuff?

[Xrysthos]

Ever wondered what Irn Bru is really made of? It's absolutely delicious and somewhat addictive, but it looks like waste product from a nuclear reactor. Ideas? Theories? Conspiracy theories regarding aliens/dinosaurs/others?

In your opinion - what does it taste like?



Edit: Picture

 

[Lukeje]

Sugar and carbonated water.

 

[Froobyx]

Uhm.. Something orangy brewed in an iron container..?

It's got a rusty metal taste to it. Am totally hooked

 

[Andalusa]

Made in Scotland from girders.

It was 'Iron Brew' until trading standards got on their case because it is not brewed and does not contain iron.

It's the devil. I get headaches from caffeine, one small glass of that and I could barely hold my head up.

But in all fairness, it's actually very tasty. Sugary, packed full of caffeine.. It's like the bastard child of Fanta/orange fizzy drink, creamy soda, Coke and crack cocaine.

.. I recommend it.

It comes originally from IRN BRU crystals, that are then liquefied.

It is heaven. The greatest drink ever made. And Just to clear this up, Irn Bru tastes like Irn Bru. Nothing else. Ever. At all.

irn bru is a heavenly elixir given to us from the gods.

Although these gods are awfully reptile-like...

@ Lukeje: Thank you - I didn't know that.
@ Simriel: Couldn't agree more. Scotch may however be the greatest drink ever made.

Scotch is the greatest Alcohol. Irn Bru is the greatest soft drink.

Hmm. From the website:

IRN-BRU 32 was so named in homage to the 32 flavours which give it its phenomenal taste. To the 32 mg of caffeine per 100ml which give it its phenomenal buzz.

.. Name all the flavours!

orangey heaven in a plastic bottle? ^-^
its meant to be fruity, i dunno how to describe it, but i think it tastes great

 

[Inverse Skies]
