Irn-Bru (pronounced iron brew) is a popular carbonated soft drink produced in Scotland. It is made by A.G. Barr plc, of Glasgow. Barr's Irn-Bru is available in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Russia, Canada, South Africa, Singapore, parts of Europe, Middle East and in some parts of Australia.

Irn-Bru is famous for its eccentric bright orange colour (something it shares only with the glucose drink Lucozade). The formula for Irn-Bru is a closely guarded trade secret, known only by two of Barr's board members, with a written copy held in a Swiss bank-vault.[1] As of 1999 it contained 0.002% of ammonium ferric citrate, sugar, 32 flavouring agents (including caffeine and quinine) and colouring (E110, E124). It is advertised as having a slight citrus flavour, but many have differing opinions of the exact taste of Irn-Bru. One of the key ingredients is said to be barley while another rumour holds that seaweed is a major contributor to the taste.

Irn-Bru was first produced in 1901, under the name Iron Brew. In 1946, a change in laws required that the word "brew" be removed from the name, as the drink is not technically brewed. The chairman of the company came up with the idea of changing both halves of the name to a phonetic spelling, giving the current Irn-Bru brand. 1980 saw the introduction of Low Calorie Irn-Bru, this was re-launched in 1991 as Diet Irn-Bru and the Irn-Bru 32 energy drink variant was launched in 2006. All the quirky mysticism, rumour and folklore surrounding Irn-Bru only serve to help keep it in its place as an icon of Scottish popular culture.

It has long been the most popular soft drink in Scotland, outselling Coca-Cola, but recent fierce competition between the two brands has brought their sales to roughly equal levels (perhaps leaning to Coca-Cola).[2] It is also the third best selling soft drink in the UK, after Coca-Cola and Pepsi, outselling high-profile brands such as Tango, Fanta, Dr Pepper, Sprite and 7-Up. This success in defending its home market (a feat claimed only by Irn-Bru,Brazil's Guarana, South Australia's Farmers Union Iced Coffee, Peru's Inca Kola and Sweden's Julmust) has led to ongoing speculation that Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Inc. or its UK brand franchisee Britvic, would attempt to buy A.G. Barr.[3]

Irn-Bru's advertising slogans used to be "Scotland's other National Drink", referring to Whisky and "Made in Scotland from girders", though the closest one can come to substantiating this claim is the 0.002% ammonium ferric citrate listed in the ingredients.

Iron Brew Soda

Answer 3

Vernor's is the oldest but for "dark" sodas such as Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper I believe Moxie would be the oldest beating Dr. Pepper by a year with it being widely marketed in 1884. Moxie can really only be found in the New England states such as Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Though it can also be ordered online from Amazon and it has an incredibly unique taste.

1767 THE SODA WATER DEBUT In 1767, an English scientist named Joseph Priestly began experiments to "stimulate the fixed air found in natural waters". In one of his attempts, he used a primitive apparatus to pour water from one vessel to another held near fermenting vats at a local brewery. He found that the water easily absorbed the gas later identified as carbon dioxide, the same modern-day "fizz" that tickles our tonsils in Coca Cola. Priestly published his findings in a paper titled "Directions for Impregnating Water with Fixed Air". 1807 THE FIRST CARBONATED DRINK It is believed that the first carbonated soft drink was made in Philadelphia in 1807, when Dr. Philip Syng Physick, the father of American Surgery, asked a chemist to prepare carbonated water for a patient. Flavor was added to make the drink more palatable. The main problem at the dawn of soda pop was finding a way to add natural juices to carbonated water without fermentation ruining the drink. In 1809, Joseph Hawkins of Philadelphia was granted the first U.S. patent to bottle soda water. Shortly thereafter, he opened a small bottling plant on Chestnut Street. Carbonated beverages did not achieve wide-spread popularity until 1832, when John Matthew's invented an apparatus for charging water with carbon dioxide gas. 1871 LEMON'S The first soda pop trademark was issued for "Lemon's Superior Sparkling Ginger Ale" in 1871. 1885 DR PEPPER W.B. Morrison at the "Old Corner Drug Store" in Waco, Texas, developed a distinctively flavored drink at his soda fountain. The name Dr Pepper was inspired by Morrison's love for the daughter of his former employer... you guessed it... his name was Dr. Pepper! Dr. Pepper has the honor of being the oldest major soft drink currently sold in America. 1886 COCA COLA John S. Pemberton, an experimental pharmacist standing over an old brass or iron kettle in Atlanta tried over 300 combinations of different herbs and spices during a period of over four years before he finally came up with a liquid that tasted in his words "all right". That magic brew was named Coca Cola, and speculation still exists as to whether the potion was developed as a soft drink, or as a "cure-all" headache tonic.
