Controversial US influencer with 20 million followers spotted in Scots Chippy as he tries Irn Bru and takeaway favorite

AMERICAN influencer James Charles shocked his fans after tasting Scotland’s most famous delicacies.

The controversial make-up artist was in Glasgow last week as thousands of his supporters flocked to St Enoch’s Center for an event with cosmetics brand BPerfect.

James enjoyed his first experience with Irn Bru.

But he was NOT a fan of the fried Mars Bar.

Next, the 25-year-old visited Blue Lagoon Chippy where he enjoyed a crispy pizza, a can of Irn Bru and a fried Mars Bar.

The New Yorker, who has more than 20 million followers on Instagram, was impressed with his main course and juice, but wasn’t a fan of his calorie-laden dessert.

He said: “Everyone told me I had to try a crispy pizza. And an Irn Bru.

“It’s already a thin, completely edible slice of pizza, and then they fry it.

“Everyone says it’s disgusting. To me, it literally seems like a dream come true.”

After sampling, he added, “Oh my God, it’s perfect. It’s really, really good.”

He then took a sip of Irn Bru and immediately declared that it had a bubblegum flavor – a common claim among non-Scots.

But Mars Bar was not a hit with the social media star.

He said: “It wasn’t pleasant. It was too much chocolate. My throat feels tight.”

Those who commented on his TIkTok tasting video were quick to disagree with his assessments.

One said: “How can you not love a fried Mars Bar at the Blue Lagoon?

Another wrote: “James, no, Irn Bru tastes like Irn Bru, not bubblegum.” »

One fan added: “Why does everyone say Irn Bru tastes like bubble gum? I don’t taste it at all.”

And one follower joked: “It’s not bubblegum.

“The flavor is a magical flavor.”
