    Default IRN BRU

    I hereby announce the inauguration of the official, unofficial quest to wrest domination of the World's soft drinks market crown from Coca Cola and place it where it firmly belongs, with the BRU.

    Post your experiences here.

    Has the BRU saved a loved one's life, inspired you to greater heights, started your car's engine when you've run out of fuel, defrosted a frozen water pipe, made a sterile dog fertile, irrigated arid land, replaced champagne at your wedding, killed a plague of cockroaches?

    Tell us here so we can spread the word.

    I do understand that you live in a fledgeling country - almost adolescent - and I admire your enthusiasm for all things American. However, Scotland has a long history steeped in culture and its heritage is rich. We are a tiny nation but our legacy to mankind inordinately outweighs our small-holding on planet Earth. Amongst a huge number of other inventions, we gave you the following...the television, telephone, penicillin, as well as...

    Anaesthetics •Beta-blockers •Bicycles •Cash credit •Colour photography •Cotton-reel threads •Continuous electric light •Criminal finger-printing •Decimal points •Fax machines •Financial services by telephone •Fountain pens •Electro-magnetism •Hollow pipe drainage •Hypodermic syringes •Insulin •Kaleidoscopes •Lime cordial •Motor insurance •Noble gases - Paraffin •Pneumatic tyres •Self adhesive postage stamps •Quinine •Radar •Reflecting telescopes •Retail banking •Savings banks •Tubular steel •Ultrasound scanners •Universal standard time •Vacuum flasks •Waterproof mackintoshes •Wave-powered electricity generators •Whisky

    ...oh yes...the internet too...but more important than any of these is our introduction to the World of IRN BRU.

    Cast your mind back to one of the most famous movie lines of all time in 'A Few Good Men' (1992). In the court scene near the end of the film, Colonel Nathan R. Jessep says http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yB7J7DYi6M...but very few people know that in fact the line was changed from ''You can't handle the BRU''...which is why it was changed...at that time you couldn't have handled the BRU and we felt it was important not to alert inquisitive minds to that for which they were not prepared.

    Only now do we believe that America is ready for the BRU and you and and your fellow Americans should ready yourselves for the experience of a lifetime.

    There are forces at work far beyond your comprehension and resistance is futile.

    Stanley Cup Champions - Boston BRUins!!...and don't forget one of our most distinguished members - Jean...bear...BRUin??

    But don't be afraid my friend, embrace the BRU and all will be well.

    Watch the ether for further updates...the time is near at hand!!

    You are well respected and I hesitate to rain on your parade. I won't even suggest that it may be somewhat churlish of you to single out whisky for special mention. After all, we Scots are particularly proud of our contribution to those who choose to imbibe our biggest export...however...

    ...it is a well known fact that John Boyd Dunlop invented the pneumatic tyre, is it not?

    He did not in fact invent it...it was developed by him 40 years after it was invented and patented by Robert Thompson. Unfortunately for Thompson, he was unable to get someone to buy his design and so a generation later, Dunlop got the credit...such is life. Not that it really matters anyway in this context - both Thompson and Dunlop were Scottish.

    So, to Al Gore inventing the internet...not so I'm afraid...the following is only one quote of many regarding the claims that Gore did so...

    Red Rock Eater News Service, Phil Agre, Mar. 28 2000

    "That Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet has got to be the most successful flat-out lie since, well, the last one."


    There are other quotes of course, but this one, I believe, sums it up nicely.

    Credit for the Internet's invention goes to Sir Tim Berners-Lee OM, KBE, FRS, FREng, FRSA born in London in 1955. He worked at the CERN institute in Switzerland and on Christmas day 1990, in collaboration with others, he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet.

    However, since it is not within my remit to reveal the name of the true inventor, I can only suggest that you wait until the year 2040 when Swiss Government papers will be published showing that, in fact, the true inventor of the Internet is actually Scottish. Of course you may well scoff at such a notion but, since you were so sure Al Gore was the man, maybe you should be receptive to such an idea. Research Al Gore and you will see that I am right.

    By 2040 there is a fair chance I'll be dead but what will never die is the BRU...long live the BRU.

    Apparently the recipe for IRN BRU is slightly different for the US version. I don't suppose someone wants to smuggle me a real can or bottle.

    Wait, you're taking credit for the Television? While I know a Scottish Inventor did some early experimenting Bell Labs here in the states as well as GE had quite a bit to do with furthering to the medium we now know. GE also established the first "Network" that broadcasted content. I think the "Scottis" involvement on that one was a bit peripheral. Nevertheless, quite an impressive string of accomplishments. By the way. while Bell was a Scot, he made his mark so to speak in the U.S. of A. Good Ol' "Ma Bell" none other than AT&T!!!!!

    Very witty post BTW!!!!

    The first television broadcast was made by Scotsman John Logie Baird.

    No argument on this site, or we will send in the Navy to sort you out!

    Wait. The Father of the US Navy, John Paul Jones, was also a Scot.

    In Scotland, the recipe for Irn Bru used to be different for the glass bottles and the plastic bottles.

    Ok, that's odd.

    I'm guessing you don't mean the same John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin.

    Very fair explanation however, as you well know, American politicians do not lie. Since we can agree on that "Fact" I'm certain you will agree that Al Gore is the father of the internet

    I prostrate myself at thy feet in abject apology Sir...how could I ever conceive in my wildest dreams that an American - or for that matter, any - politician would tell a porkie.
    If you give me long enough though, I'm pretty sure I can prove beyond reasonable doubt that, in fact, Al Gore is Scottish.

    Come to think of it, are you aware that Pavel Andreievich Chekov was actually a Scottish spy. Sorry Jean!

    Chekov was the navigator on the original U.S.S. Enterprise under the command of James T. Kirk. An only child, his youthful career was so full of brash pronouncements of Russian ethnic pride and accomplishments he became a good-natured joke among his superiors.

    My friend..I am happy to send you some real BRU but the mechanics of transportation raise some difficulties. In order to prevent slosh in transit (as bad in fizzy drinks as metal fatigue is in an aircraft wing), I propose to insert a bottle in a vacuum flask, pack it tight with ice, seal it, wrap it in a thermal blanket and send it by private jet to any location you care to name.

    It is worth pointing out here that the vacuum flask was invented by Scottish physicist and chemist Sir James Dewar in 1892.
