The world's tallest bodybuilder tried Irn Bru for the first time and was less than impressed with the unique flavour.
Aaron Reed, from Florida, tried the iconic drink while he was visiting the capital after meeting up with TikToker and personal trainer Peter Edwards.
Peter surprised the huge 6ft 7" bodybuilder with a can of the beverage at Calton Hill as the pair filmed a clip for social media, Edinburgh Live reports.
Aaron, who is one of the tallest bodybuilders in the world and officially the tallest bodybuilder to win a Men's Physique competition, could not figure out the flavour of the sugary drink.
Peter has since posted the footage to TikTok and captioned it "worlds tallest bodybuilder tries Irn Bru".
During the clip, he can be heard saying: "We're in Scotland with the world's tallest bodybuilder, for the first time in Scotland.
"So I thought we need that authentic Scottish experience and I've actually got you a gift which is a can of the finest Irn Bru."
Aaron said: "I've been seeing this stuff. What's the flavour here?"
Peter then explained: "Its flavour is Irn Bru. There's no other flavour that is the flavour is Irn-Bru. It's just full of Scottish juices."
The bodybuilder was left confused when he was asked his opinion on the orange pop and said "toothpaste" or "bubblegum" to the disappointment of hundreds of fans.
The hilarious video racked up over 5000 views and hundreds of likes with many slamming the body builders opinion.
One social media user said: "Toothpaste and bubblegum? I mean the dude is wrong but I won't be telling him that to his face."
Another said: "That guy is so big the can looks like a mini can."
While one added: "He must of just brushed his teeth."
