About this deal

Aldi has launched a range of new products - including Iron Brew jelly babies - that have been developed and manufactured in Scotland following the supermarket’s search for the country’s Next Top Product. Designer Chris Mitchell went on to develop the stylised Strong man character brand icon which replaced the older label and is still in use today. After winning the competition for their Orkney Caramel Shortbread, Argo’s Bakery went on to win Own Label Product of the Year at the 2017 Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards and Bakery Product of the Year at the 2018 Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards. To sell out in less than a month after launching in January was just brilliant, and we are thrilled that the product has returned within Aldi’s everyday range and will again be available across all Aldi Scottish stores.”

But how much do you really know about Irn-Bru? Here are 16 facts you (probably) didn't know: 16 things you (probably) didn't know about Irn-Bru 1. Barr's dropped (most of) the vowels in 1946 It wasn't always called Irn-Bru. Picture: TSPL As iconic as whisky and as famous as haggis, Scotland's other national drink, Irn-Bru, is widely enjoyed not just in the land of its birth but also across the globe. Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Water, Bovine Gelatine, Maize Starch, Citric Acid, Flavourings, Colour: Paprika ExtractIrn-Bru was born and the rest they say, is history. 2. Barr's sells around 20 cans of Irn Bru every second A time line of Barr's Irn-Bru designs starting in 1901. Picture: Contributed

The`fleet' was a common sight around the region, with many of the animals going on to become famous in their own right, and the giant Clydesdale Carnera (named after boxing champion Primo Carnera) becoming the most famous of all. Though the ‘girders’ were often thought to be a reference to the ‘rust’ colour of the drink, Irn Bru does have 0.002 per cent ammonium ferric citrate listed among its ingredients - a food additive containing iron hydroxide.Elvis Costello references Irn-Bru in his song ‘The St Stephen’s Day Murders’, with the lyrics: ‘There’ll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias, mixed up with that drink made from girders.’ Last year was incredibly tough for the food and drink industry and 2021 will continue to be challenging, so I’d encourage everyone to look out for these outstanding new products when they next visit their local Aldi and help support these incredible suppliers." Priced at 99p for a 200g bag, Aldi say the sweets bring Scotland’s best-loved flavour to the market in an exciting new format. AG Barr went on to confirm that Irn-Bru did indeed contain alcohol, but that it was such a small amount as to be virtually negligible, meaning everyone, including the Muslim community, could continue to enjoy Irn-Bru as it didn't go against the teachings of their religion. 15. A Scots ex-pat recently claimed that Irn-Bru (well Iron Brew) was actually invented in the United States IRONBREW bottle label from the New York-made fizzy drink, circa 1900. PIC: SWNS
