The phrase ‘in short supply’ is becoming more common by the day because of the on-going lorry driver shortage.

And now Irn Bru has fallen to HGV and supply chain issues, with maker AG Barr saying it was struggling to make deliveries with prices going up as a result.

Scottish Twitter was having none of it, as you might imagine, and here are our 9 favourite responses.

Irn Bru running out due to Brexit will be the event that finally triggers Scottish independence

Right, Scotland. Brexit is messing with our Irn Bru. This just got existential.

Gather the clans at the Wallace Stone near Sheriffmuir and bring enough Bru to last the march to Westminster. Time to sort this nonsense out ourselves ⚔️ pic.twitter.com/1UoBvFsCHf
