I would appreciate it if you didn't call Hispanic people *wetbacks* as I have a Mexican boyfriend. It's just as bad as the N word. Thank you.

And I would have appreciated not being called a "Damn fool!"
The moral of the story being, keep your f***ing snout out of other people's business.

A sparkling soft beverage with a taste and style as unique as the crisp Scottish air, the benefits of this vibrant orange liquid are, so far, only truly appreciated by the Caledonian natives. However, AG Barr would like to change all that. First introduced to the market in 1901 by the Barr family, Irn-Bru has grown to a point where it now controls 25% of the Scottish soft drinks market and is more popular in its homeland than Pepsi and Coke.
Its ubiquitous nature means that it's available everywhere from supermarkets to McDonald's, and its sweet, sugary taste has made it a popular non-alcoholic mixer in restaurants, bars and clubs. If you're curious about the ingredients, however, you've more chance of discovering what a Scotsman wears under his kilt than getting a glance at the Barr family recipe. The only thing that's certain is that the formula has changed little over the better part of a century.

Umm, I only goodled, then copied and pasted!
But to answer your query about Tizer. It's kind of the same, but different.
some comments about Tizer:
It's red. It's bubbly. It's red and bubbly.
Tizer's smell is elusive... it's a not unpleasant combination of ginger ale and Alka-Seltzer cold medicine.
When we took hesitant sips of Tizer, we were surprised to discover that it was hardly disgusting at all. It pretty much tasted like weak ginger ale, with just a hint of lemon. But not bad at all!
And then the aftertaste kicks in. Band-Aids. Definitely Band-Aids. And not just one or two but the whole box, in all those unusual sizes, like that square one. What's that for? If you have a cut, you use a band-aid. Ifyou have a circular wound, then I would imagine a circular Band-Aid would be in order. But when do you have a square injury? Not often enough to necessitate 25% of the Band-Aids in the world being square. Not only is the taste Band-Aidy, but it leaves a waxy residue in your mouth, like you've been licking the little suckers. It's unfortunate that such a promising beverage should make it all the way to the 5th S and then collapse, leaving nothing behind except the feeling that you've been chewing medical waste.
The secret to enjoying Tizer is to NEVER STOP DRINKING IT. While it's in your mouth, it's fine. Even shortly after you stop, it's fine. After you finish a bottle, you have 4 or 5 good seconds to start drinking it again before the aftertaste kicks in. We recommend you open the second bottle while you're drinking the first, since it's one of those bottles you have to unscrew by wrapping it in your shirt.
Oh, and stay away from flat Tizer... once the bubbles start to disappear, something mysterious happens to the antiseptic flavor (or "flavour") and it begins to smell and taste like wet, soggy animal.

LOL, well I guess you wouldn't like Red Bull (VERY highly caffeined beverage- it's the second thing away than snorting a line of meth! VERY popular here, and it's expensive, but boy does it give you a RUSH! Thanks for your Tizer explanation..now Lynne, I am now fully convinced you should be in Advertising!

Hmmm...I may have to try some of this, Colleen. I have to sip tea (jasmine! yum) ON TOP OF the other stimulants I pop every few hours, just to maintain a modicum of alertness. I fear that if I was not addicted to Rembrandt products my teeth might very well be baleful shade of russet by now!

Hmmm, Red Bull and vodka- interesting, I'm going to have to try that! You'd think that the depressive effect of the vodka would cancel out the Red Bull. Hmmm yes, I'm going to try that. Tonight. If I can't sleep, I usually choke down a small handful of Benadryl (anti-histamine). Works brilliantly.

HaHa, this is so funny --when I am short of barbiturates and anti-anxiety agents, I resort to a "small handful of Benadryl" as well. As a matter of fact there exists a table of conversion: seditave of choice per mg = diphenhydramine per mg! What makes this maximally humorous is the fact that I have the conversion tables memorized! This is necessitated by a mild allergy to barbiturates that leaves me desperate for agents of sedation. Damn you people with salubrious sleep/wake cycles.

we're not talking about iron brew, your cheap english equivalent to the only Scottish national drink which is IRN BRU.
And I do beg to differ, but Vimto is not even comparable. What next, Doctor Pepper?
