Ludo*1 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'll admit, I was an absolute c**t for saying a can of beetroot when it's obviously a jar. Still though, it's a can of sweetcorn and a tin of Coke, Irn Bru etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyaccies Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ginger? Why is it called ginger? It's not ginger beer it's as mentioned irn bru, sprite, coke etc that everyone calls it ginger. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominique Malonga Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Theres some fucking rank stuff available in tins these days. Youd think theyd be moving away from it but no, its getting more diverse. Reccommend googling whole tinned chicken for a truly vile looking dinner I just googled that.My eyes will never be the same.

It Ginger Beer pre dates Irn Bru by one hundred years and is the more likely origin of the term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyaccies Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Ginger was more used for referring to Irn-Bru due to its colour. But as I said, it's used for all cans of carbonated flavoured beverages-even clear ones like lemonade. Not trying to catch you out mate, just genuinely (not really) interested. Was ginger beer the first carbonated beverages so everything that followed classed as 'ginger"? Probably the answer lies outside our lifetime![emoji2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I imagine the first carbonated beverages were discovered completely by accident, long, long ago. This conversation reminds me of the story of the lad who was out on his first important client dinner after being hired straight out of school. When the waiter asked him if he would like ginger with his melon starter, he replied that he would have wine, the same as everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in Uni in London in the early 80s my auld dear sent me the back pages of sunday's Mail and Monday's Herald to keep me in touch with football. She also included TS's diary as and when and it was such good humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
