| It's also popular in my university city - Galway (in West Ireland... for some reason, it never caught on in Dublin). Used to drink it a lot as a student. It's dead cheap, maybe 5 euro a bottle, but it's a bit of an acquired taste - sweet and syrupy. |
I'm from Galway and also went to NUIG, Ireland and this stuff was the shit! At 9 euro a bottle, 1 bottle would have you swinging from the rafters! Ah, miss that stuff. Tastes like a strong Calpol (for you UK folk). It's very syrupy and full of sugar and caffiene. It's uncomparable to any other alcoholic drink on the market. |

There was the buck futter joke, maybe that's the one you're thinking of? |

It's from England originally, made to keep the Scots down. |
A source of national pride? |
Nah, most English don't know that much about it. However Scots like to bang on about buckfast and how Scottish they are for drinking it in their youth, so it's just a line to throw out. |

Didn't want to spell it out, but yes.
Regardless, I must sample this tasty beverage. I now have a mission. |

So, they think no one else can handle it. That sounds like a challenge. |
