❤❤ she's our biggest fan! Alas, she has celiac and doesn't like sweets, so she can only sample very little, but she loves every box and sitting in and watching from off camera. Thank you for your comment and I will share with her
The flavour of Irn Bru would be best described as "Bubblegum" but not quite. As bubblegum is typically strawberry, cherry and banana flavour, Irn Bru is a mix of these and some other fruits too I believe. Every now and then when I have some the banana taste comes through quite strongly, I drink it pretty much every day, so I can tell when the ratio of the mix is different depending on the batch.
Good call. Our bubblegum has this sickly sweet taste that's great when you're 12, but hard to handle at an older age. Upon reflection, that Irn Bru wasn't strong orange, but rather fruity. The can color may have overridden the taste buds when assessing a flavor.
@@snacktheworld5667 I've noticed a lot of people tend to think it's orange, so I do suspect the colour does influence people, as taste isn't just influenced by the tongue but in smell and look too. Even here in Scotland most people can't tell what flavour it actually is, and it took me years to realise that it was similar to bubblegum, and only after one day tasting the banana coming through. The company that makes it also makes a bubblegum flavour that is more similar to American bubblegum, and they also make a drink called Tizer, that is fruity/citrusy, so sometimes I tend to think Tizer is Irn Bru without the bubblegum flavours added, and the bubblegum is without the Tizer flavours added.
@@LastEuropaKiss If you've ever tasted Elderflower cordial, that's pretty much spot on to what the main flavour of Irn Bru is - add a dash of ginger, carbonate it and colour it amber/orange and I challenge anyone to tell the difference. The "Made in Scotland from girders" line is pure marketing propoganda: yes the ingredients include ammonium ferric citrate, but the amount of iron in Irn Bru is so little that every drop ever made would not require the iron content of one single girder!
@@DaveBartlett I can see, or rather taste, what you mean with the Elderflower, and certainly the ginger, I had forgotten to mention that too. When I was a kid I used to think the "Made fae Girders" slogan was because it was meant to be "Rust" flavoured haha.
IRN BRU is originated from Scotland and it is the most popular soft drink there. I like it probably because like you said its not a really sweet soft drink like most of the others where it feels like you are drinking syrup.
as for the cheese and onion walkers crisps, i like to smash them up in the bag and then sprinkle on to white buttered bread and make a sandwich out of it, other flavors just as good... only issue is US bread is very different to UK bread... or if you really want to be wierd i like to take crisps smash them up and then sprinkle over cheese on toast... then we have a salt grinder for crisps, i grind up crisps and cover my chicken and mayo sandwiches.
@@snacktheworld5667 it felt like there was no interactions with the people watching. Engaging with the camera would make you feel like you were more part of it. This is the first video of your RU-vid I have seen. Also the camera angle seemed to close up and it would be nice to see the items on the table that you are presenting. feedback is how you know what to improve on. I wish you the best on your: Snack The World
Prawn cocktail, also known as shrimp cocktail, is a seafood dish consisting of shelled, cooked prawns in a Marie Rose sauce or cocktail sauce,[1] served in a glass.[2][3] It was the most popular hors d'œuvre in Great Britain, as well as in the United States, from the 1960s to the late 1980s.[4] According to the English food writer Nigel Slater, the prawn cocktail "has spent most of (its life) see-sawing from the height of fashion to the laughably passé" and is now often served with a degree of irony.[5] The cocktail sauce is essentially ketchup and mayonnaise in Commonwealth countries, or ketchup and horseradish in the United States.[6] Recipes may add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, vinegar, cayenne pepper or lemon juice. Wikipedia. I love Prawn cocktail and Hedgehog Flavour Crisps, the 2nd like shepherds pie have no actual Hedgehog or shepherd in them. They were banned because from sale in 1982 when the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) alleged a breach of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 as the product was flavoured with pork fat and herbs and contained no actual hedgehog. A agreement was reached with the OFT to commission an artificial flavouring and rebrand his product as "Hedgehog Flavour Crisps". The product returned to sale in 1984 and continued to be sold until at least 1994. It was a fib I never even tried H F C, the nearest flavour would be smoky bacon flavour.
Irn Bru is best drunk chilled from the Fridge but don't add ice, as that spoils the flavour. Edit: Irn Bru is a mainstream soft drink like Coke (and it outsells Coke in Scotland) and Fanta but is also used as a mixer (we also have many flavours of Fanta over here in the UK too).
Let's see...I think I praised the majority of UK chocolate bars that we tried and even said in the first part or this video, that I preferred Cadbury to Hershey. But you switched off. At least listen all the way through so if you're going to criticize, you know what you're talking about.
I just gunna call it out. American taste buds have been destroyed over years of artificial flavours and colourings. So when you try UK food often people say its blander but its not gunna kill you or give you cancers.
UK drinks do not have corrn syrup. Irn Bru would be next to the coke and Pepsi it's not an energy drink. It actually outsells Coke and Pepsi in Scotland and is the number 1 soft drink there. They also have a different traditional recipe version called 1901 which is even better. Both must be drunk ice cold
Hence why we have been steadily bloating up since the mid-70s with the advent of Corn Syrup usage. Thanks for the knowledge and the comment! Hershey is a good chocolate, but Cadbury beats it head to head.
@@snacktheworld5667 When I go to the USA I find it very hard to avoid putting on weight or eating chemically foods. I don't even drink the soda unless there's no other options, because it's pure sugar and calories. There's a lot of nice food over there, but all the hidden nasty stuff is worrying. I can't remember having eaten Hersheys but a lot of people from the UK think it tastes acidic/like vomit because Hersheys add butyric acid to their recipes
@@russjoneswritesReally? That's wild. I know when Milton Hershey was originally developing the formula, his chocolate was thought to have a bit of a sour note and he or the chocolate developers kept it because it gave Hershey a unique taste compared to other available chocolates at the time. And of course he was trying to riff off of Nestle's milk chocolate formula. I wonder if that's related to the butyric acid. Very interesting to get that take from abroad. I also limit my soda intake because I don't drink diet soda and...corn syrup. I thought Irn Bru was a perfect dose of sweet and wish it were more readily available than ordering from Amazon.
You relly need to get some branston pickle make a cheese and pickle sandwich and add cheese and onion crisps to it im 37 and it had been my go to sandwich since i was 12 😂
Irn bru out sells Coca Cola in Scotland 🏴 it's not a health drink it's just a drink...you need to chill it and have over ice...it makes an amazing ice-cream float...
rn-Bru (/ˌaɪərn ˈbruː/ "iron brew", Scots: [ˌəirənˈbruː]) is a Scottish carbonated soft drink, often described as "Scotland's other national drink" (after whisky). Introduced in 1901, the drink is produced in Westfield, Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, by A.G. Barr of Glasgow. As well as being sold throughout the United Kingdom, Irn-Bru is available throughout the world and can usually be bought where there is a significant community of people from Scotland. The brand also has its own tartan. It has been the top-selling soft drink in Scotland for over a century, competing directly with global brands such as Coca-Cola. 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. Irn-Bru has long been the most popularly consumed soft drink in Scotland, consistently beating rivals such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Fanta, and reportedly sells 20 cans every second throughout Scotland. Irn-Bru is sold in a number of international food and drink markets, including in countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Malta, certain countries of the African continent, the Middle East, and North America. In 2014, Irn-Bru was one of a number of imported products, including Marmite, banned in Canada as a result of its additives in its ingredients, however a statement released by the Government of Canada in October 2020 stipulated that "Irn-Bru and Marmite are not banned for sale in Canada. These products have been available on Canadian store shelves for more than a decade and will continue to be sold in stores across Canada. ...Imported products, including Irn Bru and Marmite, that meet Canadian requirements under Canada's Food and Drug Regulations are and will continue to be available for sale in Canada."
