Elon Musk never seems to be out the news at the minute after he clinched a deal to buy Twitter for a cool $44 billion cash on Monday.
The world's richest man then took to the platform to jokingly tease a new potential takeover target, saying that he is "buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in" in reference to the soft drink’s original recipe and its use as a tonic for various ailments.
The headline-grabbing tweet has racked up over 2.5m likes since being posted late last night, and it hasn't taken long for Glaswegians - and Scots alike - to jump on it for their own particular interests.
To a tee they are calling on the Tesla and SpaceX CEO to go one better than Coca Cola and dish out the cash to buy our beloved Irn Bru - and put the sugar back in while he is at it.

One person responded to his viral tweet with: "No, all joking aside... if you could buy Irn Bru and put the sugar back in... that be great. Thanks, Scotland."
Another responded with: "Gonnae buy Irn Bru and put the sugar back in thanks chick", while a third wrote: "I'd just be happy if you bought Irn Bru to put the sugar back in".
Joining them was another person desperate to see the full-sugar Irn Bru cans return to our shelves, who tweeted: "Can you please buy Irn Bru please Mr Musk" and then followed it up with: "pls pls pls".
And fellow fan of our other national drink suggested that if Musk did purchase the girders nectar it would make him Scottish royalty, tweeting: "[Elon Musk] Becomes king of Scotland by bringing back the Irn-Bru original recipe."
