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.

@@returnoftheredeye I can say for 100% certain it's the case in Scotland. I read about Peru fleetingly so it may not be true. I wonder if it's the case in countries with trade embargoes like Cuba and Iran, surely they can't get Coca-Cola imported?

@@GM-tw4el That sounds about right. I did a very brief search, and the 2 examples it mentioned were Cuba and N.Korea, both due to embargoes as you mentioned. Regardless, respect to Scotland for bucking the trend.

My grandfather came to Coatbridge in Scotland from Yorkshire when iron ore was discovered there in the late 19th century. He worked in a steel works and found himself dismayed by the number of accidents in the afternoon because men were drinking beer at lunchtime. He resolved to manufacture a drink that would quench a man’s thirst without making him careless, and thus Iron Brew was made and named after Coatbridge, the Iron Burgh. He died before I was born, and my father was the youngest of seven children. The business closed in the early sixties when I was about 14 years old. I always preferred Iron Brew to the oddly named version.

My great great grandfather invented a sugary drink called Coca Koala for all the people who had been transported to Australia in the 1800's. Sadly it was a dismal failure.

I never understood this secret recipe nonsense. The idea that companies like Irn Bru, Coca Cola and KFC are allowed to keep their recipes known only to a few people, locked in a vault. Surely they are allowed to keep the details, and the recipes, but they have to be declared to food standards authorities or in the US, the Food and Drug Administration? And surely, any scientist with a reasonably well stocked lab can determine these things. To me it seems like an unnecessary mystique, and a marketing ploy to make the products seem like rarified commodities, when really it is just a blend of sugar, syrup and spicing...

@SamuelGeist 26 дней назад

My guess (based on nothing at all except hoping that food standards authorities are reasonable) is that the full list of all ingredients is known the the government testing and certification people, but as it's still a carefully guarded trade secret, they'd be opening themselves up for a massive lawsuit if they leaked that information. And yeah, I'm sure that most of these things can be reverse engineered, but again, to publicise the results of those tests would result in being sued immediately.

@helenjohnston3178 25 дней назад

The ingredients are listed but some can be grouped in e.g. 'flavourings', 'extracts' etc if the amounts are small enough. They all have to be food safe ingredients but the exact component and ratios are hidden. If you reverse engineer it you can make it, publish the recipe etc. Trade secrets independently figured out are fair game. Patents give an invention protection but for a limited time and they have to publish the full details.

@chadfife3265 24 дня назад

Also you can know the full list of ingredients ... but the exact percentage of each and the timing at which they are mixed would be impossible to figure out

@GM-tw4el 24 дня назад

You get supermarket imitations in Scotland. Same way there's lots of different brands of cola all over the world. You can tell the difference though, as you probably know.
