Hi, I am from Denver Colorado, USA, and we are have a local dring called "Petey's Bing energy" made with bing cherries (http://www.getbinged.com/sitebuilder/images/IngredL3-745x2738.jpg). Any relationship?

Hi, I am from Newcastle upon Tyne and recently acquired a bottle of BING from a fish and chip shop in Annitsford, Northumberland (a far cry from Kent). I asked what it was and the lady said, it was an Irn Bru/ Tiser type drink.

I have to agree, its orange and taste like a poor imitation of Irn bru. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but my point is, that I don’t see it as being a unique drink really, I see it as an Iron Brew and i think that should be mentioned on the page perhaps. If you don’t agree, I should have though perhaps a description of it should be included. Though i doubt how it can be described any different to 'Iron brew'.

It has caused a small sensation in my work place with its comedic name which reminded us of 'Sprunt' the fictional drink from 'I'm Alan Partridge' in Kent’s nearby Norfolk.
