Do you believe all this tosh about the recipe for Iron Bru only being known to 2 people and one of them might now tell his daughter.
I don't see how something can be mass produced and put in cans in supermarkets and only 2 people know the recipe.
and wouldn't they have to tell Health and Safety executive or someone like that to ensure they didn't really make it from Girders.Sounds like just an advertising thing to me and @ really making it from girders.
Pity though cos it sounds kind of exciting to have a secret formula.
It's like those films where people have a secret base. Presumably the delivery people, the builders, the plumbers and tescos know where it is. I'm not sure I would invest in a company whose continued existence relies on just two people. Or maybe three now.Mr Merry asked pathetically for weeks and weeks if I would add some to my Tesco order. I caved in in the end and bought it instead of perfectly good enough Tesco ginger beer. He hated it Why didn't he just order some from Tesco himself.He's not allowed near the Tesco order. I've sent him shopping in the past, strange things come home.
My list (sample):
White pepper Carrots Cheddar Strawberries soap
Mr Merry brought home:
a red pepper ("couldn't find any white ones") small tin inedible carrots Vegan Cheddar ("I thought it was the same") Coal Tar soap ("don't you like it?")
We ended up giving the tin of carrots to the Bowls Club Raffle. Unfortunately at the Christmas dinner we sat next to the people who had won the carrots and they had not forgotten.

Irn Bru isn't quite Scottish enough, really - it has a massively high sugar content, so that's all right, but fails dismally to contain any fat (also you cannot deep-fry it). However I dare say it would be an acceptable accompaniment to deep-fried battered pizza.
PS I am allowed because I am Scottish (or Scottish enough, at least). So there. Of course if any non-Scots do this I get terribly upset
