Not you wrong as usual

Quote:
The beverage has entered the popular lexicon with nicknames such as "Wreck the Hoose Juice",[14][15][16] "Commotion Lotion",[14][15] "Cumbernauld Rocket Fuel",[15] "Mrs. Brown",[14] "Buckie Baracas",[17] "Coatbridge Table Wine",[17] and a bottle of "what the hell are you looking at?"[17] It has also earned the unofficial slogan, "Buckfast: gets you ****ed fast".[16] The drink's prominence within the "Buckfast/Buckie Triangle" – an area east of Glasgow between Airdrie, Coatbridge and Cumbernauld – has raised concern.[16][17] In addition, the glass bottle has been blamed for contributing to litter and providing drunkards with a weapon.[15][17]

"Cumbernauld Rocket Fuel"

Buckfast is utterly foul guys. Come on.


However Irn Bru is delicious and everyone knows it. When I worked in England we replaced the Fanta in the customer vending fridge with Irn Bru. Instant best seller, started outpacing Coke within 2 months. Mighty bru.

I think the worst thing you can say is "squash" for diluting juice
