Here's to Canada and Irn Bru!

[MacHummel]

Hey Blu the Zehrs in Fergus carry both Tizer and Irn Bru.

Irn Bru tastes SOMETHING like Sunkist. Not exactly, but kinda. Think about as similar as Coca-Cola and RC (IF you know what that is).

Is that a good characterization?

it's orange because it made frae girders!

OK, what the heck is a girder? Over here it is a hunk of iron used to build large buildings! Not sure I want to drink something made from them.

Ah Cranbrook.....

Irn Bru is actually pretty accessible in alot of BC, though it does seem to come in waves of availability. Right now I out of luck, but my local British Butcher expects more shortly.

I haven't yet been able to find Irn Bru in Ontario. Still looking though.

Ok, so it looks like it IS made from girders! I wonder about the long term effects...

I tried it at the Gatlinburg games. I wasn't overly impressed. Maybe because it was over priced. Its my understanding that the Irn Bru available in the US is not the same as the Irn Bru in the UK. Probably a dye or flavor additive not allowed by the USDA. I don't know if the same applies in Canada.
I did hear that it was good for hangovers.
