Don't they have to put a different ratio of gas into a plastic bottle.? Same goes for coke I believe.

Irn Bru is purely medicinal.

Great hangover cure: flat, room temperature Irn Bru and cheap white chocolate. Sorts me out every time.

(Or at least it used to. Nowadays a hangover seems to last for at least 3 days. Gettin old 🙁 )

But yeah, if you insist on drinking it recreationally then it is definitely tastier from a glass bottle.

Same as beer really: compare a plastic pint tumbler to a proper glass one.

Irn Bru is ace. Definitely true about the glass bottles. Best served ice cold.

Irn Bru sorbet/icecream was not bad.

Diet Irn Bru is rank though.

Yes, they put different amounts of gas into the glass bottle compared to the plastic ones. Something to do with the plastic ones leaking ever so slightly cause the plastic is permeable? , so they add more gas to compensate for the leakage over the shelf life. I think the same is true of cans as well.

Glass bottles don't leak, so they add just the right amount of gas. It definitely tastes better.

Irn Bru is like melted plastic. I hate to thnk what the "secrer" ingredients are. Barrs are in negociations with Britvic right now to merge and create the largest European ssoft drinks company so expect irn bru across Europe if they succeed. Poisoning the europeans. Irn bru is largely a west coast drink and is indeed RANK!!!!

i always thought fizzy drinks from glass bottles were tastier than ones from plastic bottles or cans as well. has to be cold too.

and irn-bru does indeed have mystical post-boozing healing properties. yet to try it with whisky though!

I was once told it was because of the drink reacting with the natural minerals/ores/elements (or something along thise lines) of the glass that gave all glass bottled drinks a nicer taste?

Maybe it was a complete lie but I like to believe its true!

The taste of all fizzy drinks is better from glass

Glass > Can > Plastic

The taste of plastic and canned drinks can be improved by pouring into a glass. Drinking directly from a can is OK. Directly from a plastic bottle is rank.
