"Originally selling it as Iron Brew, the drink's makers, A.G. Barr, were forced to change the name of the drink in 1946 following a change in the law that stipulated that the marketing of products be "literally true". As the drink did not contain much iron, nor was it brewed"
"The brand also has its own tartan"

It's gas the way they used the word 'shitshow' in their press release.

I'm down, anyone have a great list with images I can use?
-
I sell this in my store in Canada.
I would love an Irn Bru sugar version. I don't like the taste of Aspartame

My gf (who is not on the fedivere or any social media) came to me the other day and wanted to stop buying U.S products. Not that we really did before. Spendrups make better soft drinks than Coca-Cola and Pepsi anyway.

Thanks! I should have been more specific, I was thinking more in the groceries department.

I've felt this way since Mango Mussolini's first term.

Wouldn't say that, after Gaza people are quite used to boycott certain wares.
I know a lot of people irl which already don't buy coke or eat McDonald's anymore

Same, my wife and girlfriend told me about it before I found out here. Seems to be spreading on TikTok.

In South Africa, the law determines that if something's labeled "Product of South Africa" it can't have any imported ingredients (tho the packaging can be imported).
"Produced in South Africa" can have imported ingredients - and I've been most of that because of the omnicidal carbon footprint of importing things. It's easier in this country to live ethically tho because we can grow almost everything we need: from food to textiles, tho our energy production is some of the most unethical in the world.

Interesting, thanks

Not to discount your perspective, but I think it's important to also acknowledge the close connection that you have.
My spouse is much more tuned in to things like this than many of their peers, not necessarily because they have more interest, but because we have a close relationship and so we share stuff a lot.

Pretty sure Brave is American.
It's also sketchy.

American here: genuinely, go for it. If you want to be even more highly targeted, you can also take a page out of Canada’s book: they’re encouraging people to target things that are produced in red states specifically, in addition to a general push for a boycott. Bourbon (from Kentucky), for instance.
