That advert has been running on TV up here for a couple of weeks now.
Quite good, as are most Irn Bru ads.

Ja, I seem to recall you are a fan of the drink too. I went through a phase when that was all I would drink. I've had to cut back on fizzy drinks though.

Indeed I am.

Health reasons?

Ja, the ones I like are the sugary ones and I gotta cut that out because I am getting mighty heavy. And it isn't all muscle. I gotta get more exercise too, otherwise who knows how fat I'll get :shrug:

Ah, I get you. Unfortunately the diet variety of Irn Bru tastes completely different from the genuine article.
-
Ja, the diet stuff is often fairly dire. The only one that doesn't seem to make me want to spew is the original Diet Coke. I can't imagine a Diet Irn Bru tasting very nice.
-
Just the smell of Diet Irn Bru is enough to put me off it. Absolutely horrid. Mind you, drinking normal Irn Bru from a plastic bottle isn't too much better - it's gotta be from a freezing cold can.
No problem with that at this time of year :-D
To me there's no point in drinking Diet or Caffiene Free stuff.
-
I remember visiting Scotland and luckily every shop I went to had Irn Bru. Coca Cola was actually hard to find. I used to drink a lot of fizzy drinks back then.
I still prefer Irn Bru over Coke though.
-
I haven't been able to drink Coke or any of its variants since I consumed half a litre of Pepsi post-mix syrup as a dare over the summer. The lemonade syrup gives a strange kind of high about ten minutes after consumption, but just thinking about the Pepsi literally makes me gag even now.

It doesn't, it's rather watery tasting.

I find it tastes a bit odd from a can. I prefer it straight from a cold, standard issue glass bottle.

Do you get the small (normal) sized glass bottles?
We don't :-x
We only get cans or plastic bottles here. It can be difficult to find a 2 or 3 litre glass bottle here aswell. Actually, finding a 2 or 3 litre bottle is difficult enough!
I can't stand drinking from a plastic bottle.
-

750ml I think.

And now the ad. that started the thread is on...

Not so handy when you're wandering about a busy city center :-P
I saw some 3 litre bottles in Farmfoods today. First time I've seen them in ages.
Still no glass bottles though :-(
