Scottish Kingsman and Kick-Ass creator drinks his nine-year-old stash of original recipe Irn Bru
THE Scottish creator of Kingsman and Kick-Ass made a tasty discovery in his basement.
Mark Millar, 51, is the man behind some of the biggest comic books of recent years, with a number of his works being made into Hollywood blockbusters.
The Coatbridge comic book writer was stunned to find 23 cans of the rust-coloured juice when he was doing some cleaning in the house.
He tweeted: "Just found 23 cans of original formula Irn Bru when we were cleaning out the cellar.
"The catch? They’re NINE YEARS OLD!
"Do I still DRINK THEM????"
After downing one, he said: "It tasted like water with large metal grains, but I persisted and finished one can as I paid for these nine years back."
