Hey Goof!

[Jezter]

When will you send me a pack of Irn Bru?
I had that delicious drink the first time when I visited the Heathrow. Then today, I bumped into some when a mate of mine brought some from Helsinki. He said that one of the PC shops there had a few cans and he remembered me mentioning it. So he got a can for me and himself. Had it today ice cold and daaaamn I want more now! And I know I can't get it easily here, if at all. So...send some. :lol: It will go into good use. To acquire hangover and recover from them. :lol:

remote shipping:

hal organizes a pick up from Scotland, to be forwarded to a destination in Finland...using a Canadian company.


*the shipment may have to go through Canada first, in order for me to determine if it's dangerous goods or on the endangered species list 8-[

See this is exactly what I was worried about! I don't want to take out my blacklight to determine what kind of "extra goodies" I find in the package after a certain Canadalander "handles" it with care and love...

[Hal-9000]

I was going to lift the booze and replace it with soiled Canadian panties...

[redred]

[Goofy]

I'd quite happily send you some Jussi, only issue would be postage - what carrier do you use? How do i package it? :-k There's also the small (but important) fact which every Scotsman knows - Irn Bru tastes way better in the Barrs glass bottles ;)

A place in Boulder sells it here in Colorado :)

[Jezter]

What carrier? What? Just the usual, normal Finnish Post service... So I guess you'd use Royal Mail? Or what ever is the cheapest...
Packaging...well, I guess just some bubblewrap and strong paper. :lol:

[Goofy]

Well, if you're serious i'll certainly look into for you mate :D

[redred]

I was thinking cardboard box and bubble wrap

[Jezter]

Some good ads definitely! :lol: Watched like 8 of them. Dat accent tho... :lol:
Phenomenal!

[Jezter]

Well, if you're serious i'll certainly look into for you mate :D

Would make a nice Halloween punch, now wouldn't it! Pumpkin colored and all... Just check how much it could possibly be and I'll see if I can afford it.

[Goofy]

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yeah, I know there are some places that sell singles, but I am just wondering if it would be cheaper to get a bigger pack from abroad. Good find though and I will have to use that if it is super expensive to send here.

[Goofy]

Whee! :cheerlead:

[Jezter]

I can't see options for shipping to Finland in that uk amazon page though.. :-k

[Jezter]

Fuck it. I just wont get Irn-Bru. :(
Poor Jez is poor. I'll just have my fizzy water.

[redred]

i've ordered from the US site no problems can't see this being too different , postage was sorted out before the need for a card payment ,have you used amazon before?

[redred]

:lol:

[Jezter]

Nope.
I checked the page and it was 5,49 GBP per package + 0,59 GBP per kilo..and the 24-pack would be 9 kilos...so total of 10,8 GBP which is 12,8€. Which isn't too bad. Then ofcourse the cost of the 24-Pack which was like 18€. So total of ~30€. Not too bad actually...

Yup, just regulated because it hasn't proven to be 100% safe


Regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration

From 1969 to 1992, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received 157 reports of health problems related to quinine use, including 23 which had resulted in death. In 1994, the FDA banned the use of over-the-counter quinine as a treatment for nocturnal leg cramps. Pfizer Pharmaceuticals had been selling the brand name Legatrin for this purpose. Doctors may still prescribe quinine, but the FDA has ordered firms to stop marketing unapproved drug products containing quinine. The FDA is also cautioning consumers about off-label use of quinine to treat leg cramps. Quinine is approved for treatment of malaria, but is also commonly prescribed to treat leg cramps and similar conditions. Because malaria is life-threatening, the risks associated with quinine use are considered acceptable when used to treat that affliction.

Though Legatrin was banned by the FDA for the treatment of leg cramps, drug manufacturer URL Mutual has branded a quinine-containing drug named Qualaquin. It is marketed as a treatment for malaria and is sold in the United States only by prescription. In 2004, the CDC reported only 1,347 confirmed cases of malaria in the United States.

Nonmedical uses of quinine

In some areas, nonmedical use of quinine is regulated. For example, in the United States and Germany, quinine is limited to between 83 and 85 parts per million.

[Hal-9000]

I knew I had heard about quinine before....it's in something else 'medicinal'


that I've probably tried at one time or another :lol:
