now here's a remarkable thing - Irn Bru. On our recent trip to scotland we noticed Irn Bru everywhere. it's the coca-colo ('cocalola' says kezia) of scotland.

i tried some at the loch lomond shores which was an irn bru only establishment.

look at the colour of the thing. i'm sure this is why the stereotypical scotsman has red hair:

they sponsor rubbish bins:

and kids play parks:

cans even wash up on the side of rivers:

oh, and i think it tastes horrid. but then i'm probably not man-enough to drink it or something.
