I thought I was getting some orange soda or something, but colour me surprised when it turned out to be lethally sweet iron brew. Like the old stuff.

I'm so happy

Originally sold as Iron Brew, the drinks makers A.G Barr were forced to change the name of the drink in 1946 following a change in the law that stipulated that the marketing of products required to be "literally true". As the drink did not contain much iron, nor was it brewed, led the company to changing the name to the presently used Irn-Bru
