Irn Bru is Scotland's national drink - definitely more popular than whisky where I live! It is has been made to a secret recipe in Glasgow, Scotland by A.G Barr Ltd for over 100 years.

Irn Bru's tag line has always been "Bru'd in Scotland from girders". This claim probably refers to the 0.002% ammonium ferric citrate listed in the ingredients.

Irn Bru is widely used at a hangover cure in Scotland - this is probably correct due to the caffeine and also the sugar content which gives a pick me up effect.

Irn Bru is manufactured in Cumbernauld, Scotland also in Russia, Australia, Canada, South Africa and Norway. It is also available although not on a wide scale and only usually in holiday resorts in places like Spain, Portugal, Greece etc.

Irn Bru have a diet version available fror the sugar and calorie concious, also there is Irn Bru 32 - an energy drink to compete within the growing energy drink market, and I remember buying the massively popular Irn Bru Chew when I was young although I'm unsure as to whether these are available in 2009!

Summary: Great tasting drink from Scotland
