Good luck in trying to change that.. :roll:


One of four, according to Wikipedia.

Irn-Bru outsells Coke in Scotland, and there are a couple of places in South America where the local brew sells better than Coke.

Haha...did you try that stuff when you were in Edinburgh??? I'm sure the ad's say it's 'made in Scotland from girders' cos it tastes like sweetened rust. I don't drink it but I don't drink cola's either I'm a tea addict...if I have a fizzy drink it's usually ginger beer or occasionally tonic water :wink: with some 'mother's ruin' of course and ice and a slice :tonqe:

In 2003 Australians consumed in excess of 22,000,000 litres of Farmer's Union Iced coffee, making it Australia's best selling flavoured milk drink/milk shake at that time.[1] The drink's popularity has more recently been reflected by some McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's restaurants selling it as a part of their menus across the country. Farmers Union Iced Coffee outsells Coca-Cola in South Australia, making it the only place in the world where a milk drink outsells a cola product, and one of the few places that Coca-Cola is not the most popular bottled beverage.




Farmer's Union Iced Coffee is a flavoured milk drink popular in Australia, primarily the States of South Australia and Tasmania, made by Farmer's Union under National Foods, which was owned by Filipino conglomerate San Miguel Corporation, which is partially owned by Japan's second largest brewer, Kirin.


First our beer was sold to the Japs, now our Iced Coffee :evil:

Not me, I'd go 20 to 1 coke over IC.

Although when I lived in the NT the local Iced Coffee was a big seller as well no matter how hot. When I played footy for Katherine in the NTFL the whole bus load would have 1 plus a pie at Hayes Creek on the piss stop enroute to Darwin. Ahh the good old days, no dieticians then, dim sims & coke for brekky, iced coffee and a pie for morning tea then a guts full of VB on the 4 hour bus trip home.

LMAO!

Got a mate who walks around all day with a one litre carton of FUIC.

Another bloke I know would strut around Parabanks, FUIC in hand, all day long.

After years of doing this, Parabanks gave him a job as a security guard.

Now he struts around Parabanks, FUIC in hand, all day long...
