IRN-BRU continues taste debate with new film debut

IRN-BRU continues taste debate with new film debut

The true flavour of IRN-BRU is a hotly debated topic – and to celebrate this great taste debate, its brand-new ad, "Prom", captures a classic high school rom-com movie moment, but with a classic BRU twist...

Now screening on IRN-BRU’s socials and on prime-time telly spots across Scotland, "Prom" is the latest film parody in a series of movie genre themed ads to explore the divisive topic of BRU’s delicious flavour.


Starring a tuxedoed ginger teen getting ready to take his date to prom while sipping an IRN-BRU, a dispute takes place about what Scotland’s other national drink really tastes like.

After a debate with the family members, the teen eventually decides to tell an unexpected guest to put her dancing shoes on - all thanks to their agreement on BRU’s signature taste.

"Prom" will be airing as a double-feature, with a second film, "Mob" capturing a typical American mobster moment where a "disagreement" kicks off when some henchmen argue about the true taste of BRU.

“There’s so much fun to be had with the unique flavour that is IRN-BRU, fans globally cannot agree on the taste that makes it so special – whether you’re a prom date, or a mobster. Whatever the situation, we can all at least agree that IRN-BRU tastes phenomenal,” said Adrian Troy, Marketing Director at AG Barr.

Last year, the brand tackled the Wild West with the great taste debate triggering an all-out saloon brawl. This year’s expansion into the Teen Romance and Gangster genres demonstrate that the taste of IRN-BRU is still as elusive in the fictional world as it is in reality.

Watch both IRN-BRU Taste Debate ads via YouTube: "Prom" and "Mob". This latest campaign airs from today across TV, social channels and online.

Jameson teams up with Admiral, for a tracksuit modelled by Kyle Jameson

Irish Whiskey brand Jameson has been the English Football League's (EFL) main spirits sponsor for two seasons and is deeply entrenched in all aspects of the league, including player sponsorships. It has now signed up with Admiral to celebrate both brands' association with the beautiful game. They have worked closely together to create a full retro-inspired tracksuit in Jameson’s signature green, featuring key elements from Admiral’s world-famous designs for team performance wear, to create a slouchy royal green trackie ready prepped for pubs, presents, party games and freezing cold five-a-sides this Christmas.

Jameson shares a history rich with the beautiful game, so teaming up with an iconic heritage brand like Admiral felt like a natural fit, with the results speaking for themselves,” said Josh McCarthy, Brand Director for Pernod Ricard UK. “A classic tracksuit, from two classic brands, to look sharp after the match when buying your mates a round of Jameson, Ginger and Lime. Nostalgia is everywhere at the moment and growing up in Leicester, there was no shortage of Admiral tops in the park and at the local football clubs.”
