I read that yesterday - only 2 people in the world know the recipe!

Did you read the article about Red Bull cola being withdrawn in some countries?  The coca leaf extract used had not been treated (or something) and instead of inert coca leaf it actually contained traces of Cocaine!! Mental!

Sandy, I used to be addicted to Irn Bru. I never drink tea or coffee so it was the Bru by the gallon, I couldn't get enough. Almost 6 years ago I was diagnosed as Diabetic and I swear it was the addiction to Irn Bru that was the cause. Now I am addicted to soda water which is much better for me and couldn't drink a sweet fizzy drink if you paid me.

I didn't drink much fizzy stuff, until my mid 30's. I ate very little, I always liked food but it was not the first thing on my mind....NOW FOOD IS!!! I worry about diabetes!!! I love sweeties!!!
