Irn-Bru
By Fledermaus

a little frustration...

What a silly orange drink
Back home poured it down the sink
For what did I have to think
Glasses were no longer pink
In Scotland it made love stink
For it's there she broke the link

About a fizzy drink or lost love? If you tried to win her over with Irn-Bru it isn't any wonder things went wrong! 
 
It's about as Scottish as deep fried Mars bars.

Hi Phil. 
Long story. I had a girlfriend, but she moved to Scoland and there we broke up. She was trying to become more Scottish then the Scots and thus a huge fan of the drink. For my trip back to the Netherlands, she gave me a bottle of the stuff.
Its our "other national drink"

Batty, Batty, Batty! You are determined to make enemies of the noble Scots! 
 
Made in Scotland from girders - more efficacious than any brew prepared in the your swampy low-lands - AND a bloody good cure for a hangover too!

Gabh mo leisgeul, a Oli ;) Even Scotland now and then produces less attractive things. Funnily enough, I can't think of a Dutch soft drink, and irn-bru is orange, so perhaps there's a market here? There's at least one Dutch girl who seemed to like it :p
