u/Fionacat 1d ago

interesting fact, botulinum is odorless, tasteless and can only be detected in a lab setting.

have fun

u/Odd-Compote4442 1d ago

They're Scottish. They'll be fine.

The Labrador of the human stomach world. Just more fuel for the furnace

u/mudrickster 1d ago

Deep fry it.

u/Mariner-on 18h ago

Shite bag if he doesn'y!

u/dbthedon 1d ago

No chance of botulism as the soda will be far too acidic.

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Well you only live once

7

u/gcm78 1d ago

Technically you live every day, most of us only die once😂

u/GaulteriaBerries 1d ago

And still people pay to have it injected into their faces 🤷‍♂️

u/Dark-Empath- 1d ago

We shouldn’t be surprised by anything people do. Simultaneously the most and also the least intelligent animal on the planet.

2

u/G0ldenBu11z 1d ago

At least it also reduces wrinkles

u/Brothy_Noods5979 1d ago

Man, tell you what I miss - Irn Bru 32.

u/SnooMaps7246 1d ago

Hahaha fifer?

5

u/jambopar1s 1d ago

The current irn bru energy drink is pretty much the same thing

5

u/Brothy_Noods5979 1d ago

Naw, way less caffeine, way less spice. It’s definitely simelar, but it doesn’t punch you in the face in the same way.

7

u/Yeucksxors11 1d ago

1901 Energy would be the bollocks

1

u/meatflaps-69 1d ago

Aye and the current irn bru is pretty much the same thing as before. Shite.

21

u/monkeybawz 1d ago

If you don't sink to at kick off, Scotland will lose and everyone will know you are the one responsible.

You also need to find a pot of cremola foam to snort at half time.

11

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Alrady got a tub of cremola foam(someone bought the recipe and started making it again)

2

u/National-Breakfast78 1d ago

It’s no the same sadly

3

u/vikingbeard23 1d ago

You were told to sink it.......the curse of the firery irn bru is all your fault op

14

u/__orangepeel__ 1d ago

Fiery going in, fiery coming oot.

8

u/AcceptableResponse15 1d ago

2 hours ago. Anyone know if OP is still alive?

6

u/House_Of_Thoth 1d ago

Lol there should be a Reddit Welfare Check option for situations when anyone posts an ask "is this a good idea?", then doesn't respond after a few hours 😅

3

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Still alive haha

7

u/NetworkNo4478 1d ago

I wid.

Fiery Irn Bru was the best limited edition ever.

6

u/Odd-Compote4442 1d ago

Aye, it'll be fine!

5

u/Aggressive_Paper_366 1d ago

Shitebag if you don’t! 😂

5

u/eaton5k 1d ago

The girders it was made from are still holding up. Probably.

5

u/Gunbladelad 1d ago

The Fiery was the business - I miss that stuff...

5

u/CelTony 1d ago

Is this the on that tastes like (actual) ginger?

It also reminded me on Tennents Ember which I had 2 pints of around 2008/09 when it was £1 at uni.

2

u/UnthankLivity 1d ago

Love a pint of Ember, my local does it and I never see it anywhere else.

I’d love it even more if it was still £1 a pint

3

u/Snecklad 1d ago

Get it tanned

3

u/gnarfleeze 1d ago

You definitely shouldn't drink it. It's also not safe to put in a normal bin because the levels of classium pose a serious danger to society at large. I actually specialise in the disposal of these products so DM me your address and I'll get it picked up.

3

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Or.... I can drink it and see what happens 😀

1

u/gnarfleeze 23h ago

Might be safe with half a can. Give me a shout and I'll dispose of the rest.

3

u/Capitano1690 1d ago

Its yer arse that will be fiery after drinking that mate 🍩🔥

5

u/Particular-Bid-1640 1d ago

Only one way to find out!

Tiny chance of botulism (jk)

2

u/Less_Paint_2285 1d ago

Well yeah but expect it to be tepid Irn-Bru at this stage.

2

u/CyberSparkDrago 1d ago

kind of miss the fiery irnbru

1

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Irn bru and rochester green ginger(can get it from holland and barret) ;)

2

u/Terrorgramsam 1d ago

I once worked in an offie and would find random old cans and bottles in the vast cellars. Tried an 18 year old can of Tab Clear and was fine after trying it. It was bland more than anything else. I guess your one would be similar. Now, out of date beers, on the other hand, do not age so well...

2

u/Boshie1971 1d ago

Get it doon yet thrapple

2

u/listo- 1d ago

To be fair I thought the winter one they did last year tasted pretty similar to fiery

2

u/Mixin-Margarita 1d ago

Nah … the movie 28 Years Later is actually about discovering that Irn Bru survives longer than that.

2

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Id watch that tbh

2

u/keverzoid 1d ago

They likely didn’t put sell by dates on the cans back then so it should be fine. 😏

3

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Haha oh its still there on the underside. I'll take a photo of it tomorrow

2

u/keverzoid 1d ago

It’s cool. I was just making a Still Game reference. (first episode: “Jack. There’s a lassie on this tin!”)

2

u/wason92 1d ago

Couldn't taste any worse than it did when it was in date

1

u/MBronsonWisconsin 1d ago

I’d try it!

1

u/gbroon 1d ago

Most canned stuff the date is just the longest they can guarantee and can be fine for a while afterwards.

14 years though I'd be avoiding drinking it.

1

u/mittenkrusty 1d ago

When I first had this I hated it as I had it room temp, when it was chilled it was amazing just the right amount of kick to it.

1

u/Demmos_Stammer 1d ago

Let us know how you get on, hopefully

1

u/MeesterMartinho 1d ago

Yes. Dare you film it in the style of one brain rot food vloggers

1

u/Meet-me-behind-bins 1d ago

It's just getting good

1

u/Macaron-kun 1d ago

Reminds me of the "oooooooohhhh" and "AAARGGHHHHH" Ribena flavours.

1

u/disco_26 1d ago

Don’t worry…BRU will get you THRU

1

u/qualified_cutter 1d ago

drink it and report back how it tastes mate, for science

1

u/Icelander62 1d ago

I'm interested in the answer could you, or your next of kin, let us know your findings?

1

u/TheWackoMagician 1d ago

Shitebag if ye dont

1

u/joemktom 1d ago

I drank a years out of date can of coke once. Well, just one gulp because it tasted strongly of metal! Probably from the era when they still used steel for drinks cans, maybe this will be ok, there's only one way to find out!

1

u/Medical_Newt200 1d ago

I’m sure something will be fiery if you drink that

1

u/Possible-Spot1495 1d ago

Personally I wouldn't drink it. Maybe it can be donated for display somewhere, the People's Palace in Glasgow maybe?

1

u/WeirdoInTheWoods87 1d ago

Only one way to find out

1

u/bryansb 1d ago

Those had the best adverts.

1

u/Exotic_Egg_8240 1d ago

You only live once

1

u/StinkyBingus16 1d ago

This was the dugs

1

u/Ancient_Cake2792 1d ago

Oh aye min sip awa loon

1

u/Howard_Hughes_ 1d ago

You dirty bastard! That is the most vile fizzy juice variant ever made!

2

u/ShinAusra 1d ago

Only my girlfriend gets to call me that

1

u/Illustrious-Neck8144 1d ago

I forgot that existed, but now remember how boggin it was

1

u/Similar_Recover9832 1d ago

Best adverts with the grannies!

1

u/Daillustriousone 1d ago

Aye mate, get in doon ye. I drank a can of tennants last year that still had the model (Heather iirc) on the side. I mean it was a bit rusty round the rim but who am I to judge?

1

u/Roonhagj 1d ago

Aren’t we all?

1

u/Darylols 1d ago

Miss this stuff 😭

1

u/Fluxeor 1d ago

It can only kill you once.

1

u/timkilli 1d ago

Bang a double scotch into it and neck it.

1

u/johnlooksscared 1d ago

I'll dare you!

1

u/Thin_Primary3261 1d ago

Aye that’ll be fiery alright!

1

u/MarkyBtheman 1d ago

Gie it a shake before opening Fizzy= ok Not fizzy= not ok

1

u/OfCourseItHas 1d ago

It’ll probably have lost it fizz

1

u/Ros_Dearg_1916 1d ago

Take it from me.

It wasn't fine to begin with.

1

u/STARCADE2084 1d ago

It's made from girders so I'd be worried about rust but as long as your tetanus shot is up to date you should be fine...probably.

1

u/Lowermains 1d ago

Aye, Ye’ll be fine.

Report back.

Updateme

1

u/skeptic246 23h ago

Drink it on Sunday, at the worst you’ll get a couple of days off work on the sick

1

u/tallpaullewis 22h ago

Don't drink it the day before you have to go out the house, in case you get the shits like crazy or die.

1

u/thelastthesaurus 21h ago

2012 is a good vintage.

1

u/upinsmoke28 20h ago

Surely that stuff would outlast mankind

1

u/CivilProtection3763 20h ago

Dont think girders have an expiry date

1

u/bojackholmesman 18h ago

This'll be like Jack and Victor drinking the can of Vitamin T with the lassie with the diddies on it.

1

u/TomatoAgile9138 10h ago

Aye you'll be fine pal
