You can buy something marketed as Irn Bru, but it's not really Irn Bru. Real Irn Bru does not contain artificial sweeteners.

We're gonna go "No true Scotsman", on irn-bru? That takes some doing!

I get what you're saying, and I kinda believe the best Irn-Bru was the stuff in a glass bottle, delivered to the door, when I was a kid.

But the stuff that's out there, to my mind, is still just fine. It cures hangovers. It tastes of sugar and love, whether there's real sugar, real iron, or real love in it is almost immaterial.

"Made in Scotland, from Girders" :).

Un(?)fortunately I taste Aspartame as being bitter so it's not as sweet for me as it used to be :(. Which is probably a good thing, given how much I used to drink :P.
