Looks like there’s a version of it that is a caffeine drink. But yeah, I’m pretty curious about what it tastes like. Unsweetened and originally a replacement for beer, so I’m going to guess it’s nothing like a conventional soda.
I tried it once canned, can’t remember the brand but it was Italian. It was slightly sweetened but had this bitterness that hits the back of your tongue in a very unpleasant way then fills the rest of your mouth. I would not recommend it.
Yeah, if you read the article linked above, it was originally marketed to steel workers as a replacement for beer when on the job. Originally Iron Brew. But the ingredients are a closely guarded trade secret. I’ll have to see if I can find some to taste.
We have Irn Bru and it’s made from girders.
It also has some of the most amazing Adverts
Scotland also has Buckfast. It’s not from there (it’s from Devon I think) but only the Scottish will drink it.
There are places that serve bucky on tap.
But I wouldn’t call it a soft drink.
Wreck the hoose juice!
Only the Scottish could think “caffeinated wine” is a highly desirable beverage.
It’s the OG Red Bull and Vodka.
It’s popular in some parts of Ireland too
I just spent 20 minutes watching commercials. Thanks!
Me too, but i still don’t know what it is? Definitely involves caffeine.

And what is a girder?? “Made from girders” is no help at all, as I think of a girder as an architectural support.
Edit: looks like there’s some ginger involved, which helps the ginger commercial make slightly more sense.
Edit 2: well, they really do mean steel/iron girders. There ya go. Still no help at all.
Edit 3: people claim it tastes like orange the color but not orange the fruit.
