Picture: TSPL A Irn-Bru poster which featured a cow and the slogan "When I'm a burger I want to be washed down with Irn-Bru" attracted a record 700 complaints, while family values campaigners were outraged when an advert showed a young women in a bikini holding a can and saying: "I never knew four-and-a-half-inches could give so much pleasure." In 2005, rumours circulated in the Scottish Muslim community that Irn Bru contained alcohol, meaning that many of them feared they would no longer be able to continue to drink the beloved soft drink.

Gelatine is a by-product of meat production – the leftover skin and bones, after the meaty bits have been sent to the butcher, are boiled up until a gel forms.
