Little known fact; coke is the number one soft drink in nearly every country of the world with the exception of the Scotland. There IRN BRU is king. With the slogan, "feel phenomenal" how could I pass up the opportunity to take part in the beverage heritage of someone else's Scottish forefathers? Despite the Rifampin orange urine color, I took a big drink. It has the awful flavor of Red Bull, you know the taste of sugarcoated cancer...but it is less crisp, and somehow even less appealing than Red Bull. People in Scotland love it.
Other beverages available include barley water, which must have been a remnant from the Dark Ages. No doubt it was probably intended to soothe the aliments of the merchant class and ward away the evil eye. That is the only possible explanation for it's existence.
If you are interested in another beverage that must have originated as a dark magic Pagan potion, I can recommend a brew of Dandelion and Burdock. Rachael, my UK travel buddy, decided to buy a bottle, despite the fact that we already know that there is nothing good to drink in the Scotland.
While it doesn't look awful---I assure you that it tastes of candied mothballs and old people clothes that are ground into a fine powder and reconstituted into what you see above.
Moral of the story---don't drink anything that isn't water or alcohol in Scotland.
