I clicked because of the impertinent granny in the thumbnail, realized only after viewing the whole clip that it was Alan Davies.

When I was a kid, they used to say it was made with rusty iron girders. As I sit here typing at over 70 years old, I am drinking a can of Barrs Iron Bru, showing you that Amazon Prime selling 24 cans for a mere 9 quid and free delivery, can be your friend sometimes, maybe, perhaps. rofl

Lost its way since Stephen Fry left. Maybe just too tired a format.

Irn-Bru is from Russia, where the proletariat produce thousands upon thousands of iron rods daily for the drink rations.

Irn Bru the kings of marketing 😅

Scotland and Peru are the only countries in the world where Coca-Cola isn't the biggest selling soft drink. In Scotland it's irn-bru and Peru has inca cola. I've found irn bru all over though. Australia, Germany, Spain Portugal and even in Russia. The irn bru in Russia actually tasted like the Scottish stuff but the other countries something was a bit different.

Irn Bru lost it's flavour with the sugar tax but their advertising will always be legendary.

[@cornbeef]

More companies need to make adverts like this. Reminds me of the Hamlet Cigar ones. They're so memorable!

The even though I used to be a man Irn Bru advert was the best. That or the family wanting to call the new baby Fanny.

[@AdrianColley]

They've always had the best advertising. They're right up there with Phileas Fogg crisps. Maybe they used the same advertising agency.

In Scotland the babies eat Farley's rust

[@wisteela]

Yes I remember the burger one getting a ton of complaints. I'd forgot all about that, which is odd given I don't eat meat.

A few years ago irn bru had a limited edition spicey tasting one and one of the ads they used have on billboards etc "*

I liked the advert in the 90s that had a family sat around a piano playing and singing a song together, then the “mother” sings a line on her own “even though I used to be a man”….
