We do call soft drinks fizzy drinks in Scotland, it is the generic term for all carbonated soft drinks. It's only really in the west of Scotland that the term ginger is used and it exclusively refers to Irn Bru and is not a generic term for all canned drinks.

@@24magiccarrot Born and raised in Glasgow. If you asked the guy in a tally-van for a bottle of "ginger", he'd ask you "what type?" Ginger is _not_ exclusively used for Irn Bru.

@@bhurzumii4315 Where I live it's rarely used but when it is it is almost exclusively for Irn Bru. If you aren't using it to specify a particular beverage then the people from Glasgow must be pretty dumb fucks, think about it if you were using another generic term say soda, pop or fizzy drinks, you wouldn't go into a shop and say "can you give me a bottle of soda/pop/fizzy drink", you'd specifically ask for what you want you'd say "I want a bottle of Irn Bru/cola/fanta".

@@24magiccarrot The example I set ("Gies a bottle of ginger") was to illustrate the context. I didn't suggest or imply that anyone walks into a shop or up to an ice cream van and asks for a bottle of non-specific ginger. You need to be a real midwit to draw that conclusion. "Ginger" is a broadbrush term for "soft drinks" _including_ Irn Bru. Same with "Scoosh" (yes, it also means to spray or squirt) and "juice." It's just like "beer" or "lager" - you _could_ ask for a pint of either and you'd probably be asked immediately for the brand/type you specifically want. Don't tell me I'm wrong about terms I've been using (along with the people around me) since I was a little kid. Sure, maybe _you_ didn't/don't use them that way, fair enough, but we did.

@@bhurzumii4315 The context you gave was specifically asking the ice-cream driver for a bottle of ginger so you were effectively saying you were doing the thing that I said was dumb, you said you asked an ice cream driver for a generic term then wait to be asked to give a specific, when everyone else would ask for the specific item they wanted right of the bat.

It used to be called "Iron Brew" but it fell foul of some kind of trades description act as there was no actual Iron in it so they changed the spelling to Irn Bru as a workaround.

I think the issue was that it wasn’t brewed. It does contain iron

The long intro was important so as to discourage people who were just there to learn the "secret" rather than those that had a genuine interest... thanks though!

The long intro is on purpose. It's to make people that just arrived here to find out the secret less likely to stick around!

Haha absolutely. BUT they're all fun and worth learning IMHO

Practise!

There is definitely something metallic about it. I love irn bru

@@oliclay1348 Hmm maybe its the IRON???

Aw the human themselves! Thanks for watching it and hope you’re keeping well 💜

People say that a lot! It's honestly the best drink. So happy I can get it here in Canada!

Tastes nothing like bubble gum

When I heard an American describe the flavour as bubble gum years ago I was like oh yeah 🤯

Hey! Of course... I use a combination of Photoshop and sometimes create elements in Canva. If you don't have any graphic design skills, i'd highly recommend Canva

Hey Eric, great to connect with you! I do actually always bring my own tech with me. I have a Sennheiser Radio mic set and an audio ape pro for my music so I can cue it all myself. However at this particular event, they had a dedicated tech crew who were very good and already had a mic in place for me, so I was happy to use it. For me, these types of smaller corporate events, I don't usually "require" tech rider specs as often one of the reasons they hire me over other acts is my ability to be flexible with the conditions they have available. I currently don't show parts of my show as I don't want to have my act online just yet - I like keeping it a surprise for my audiences. Although that may change in the near future! I would absolutely love to share the stage with you one day. Where are you based?

@@CameronGibsonIRL good to connect with you as well. I live in New Jersey. One thing you can do is only show part of the effects. I don’t normally show the full thing, just pick and choose what looks good, maybe just the build up and the the reactions so it’s still a surprise. Also about the tech rider, you can mention you’ll work with them and just keep it simple.

It really does. The production value of it is immense!

Thanks, my guy!

Aw thanks Lucy! This was actually one of my first videos so i've learnt a lot since this but I'm still glad you really enjoyed it!

Thanks! :)
