Instagram user Giovanni, under the handle @giodoesinterviews, asked passersby to try the iconic Scottish drink. Many described it as 'very good', 'amazing', and 'delicious'. One Haiti fan said it 'tastes a little bit like bubblegum, it's good though'. Another called it 'fruity'. Viewers had mixed opinions on the bubblegum comparison, with some agreeing and others disagreeing.

Giovanni also introduced shop staff to Tunnocks Caramel Wafers. One staff member, Dave, exclaimed: 'How have I gone 40 years without Tunnocks?' After trying it, he quickly agreed when Giovanni said: 'It's almost like you just tried greatness.' Two other staff gave the wafer scores of 8.7 and 8 out of 10.
