When this goes on youtube I’ll let you know, but in between times you’ll have to use the link. Me? I instantly liked it, especially with its nod back to the old US Coke spoofs. The McHigh School Musical pastiche got me and my teenage kids’ votes. (I hope Mark Davies did it.)
Actually, the more I watch it the more I like it. It’s captured the essence of Scottishness, and let’s face it Scottishness is Irn Bruness, brilliantly. And it brings gingerness to the fore. Irn Bru IS ginger and in Weegieland they call carbonated soft drinks Ginger – AND we’re a ginger nation.
Is this a move towards a ginger strategy. If so this execution is a bloody good start and the first step towards a full blooded celebration of gingerness - and we love gingerness.
PS My wife’s Ginger. (Sorry, strawberry blonde.)

Irn Bru ads always raise a wee smile
American ads are so wrong they’re almost right sometimes but how bad is this new one – it’s rank rotten…
