so uh, any usa followers want to answer me this question:
what the fuck is root beer supposed to be??
*KICKS DOWN THE DOOR*
SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ROOT BEER
IT’S THIS REALLY YUMMY SODA/POP/FIZZY DRINK/WHATEVER THE FUCK ELSE PEOPLE CALL IT. NON-ALCOHOLIC, MOSTLY NOT CAFFEINATED AS FAR AS I’VE SEEN. IT’S GOT A REALLY NICE FLAVOR. IDK HOW TO DESCRIBE IT BUT THERE’S DEFINITELY VANILLA IN THIS SUCKER.
(LITTLE ME THOUGHT VANILLA WOULD TASTE LIKE ROOT BEER BECAUSE IT SMELLED LIKE ROOT BEER AND, UH, I’LL LET YOU GUESS WHAT I DID)
IT IS MY FAVORITE DRINK, HANDS DOWN. GOOD SHIT RIGHT HERE.
AND YOU CAN MAKE ROOT BEER FLOATS W/ IT. OBVIOUSLY. FILL A CUP WITH ROOT BEER, PUT SOME VANILLA ICE CREAM IN THERE, AND BAM. DELICIOUSNESS.
LOOK AT THAT SHIT. GODDAMN.
WE’VE GOT LIKE 3 MAIN BRANDS OF ROOT BEER:
- MUG
- A&W
- BARQS**
LIKE, THERE’S OTHERS. SMALLER COMPANIES, STORE BRANDS, AND THEN SOME PLACES MAKE THEIR OWN BUT THESE ARE THE BIG THREE YOU’LL FIND IN ANY GAS STATION OR STORE. BARQS HAS CAFFIENE IN IT. A&W IS MY FAVORITE.
THERE’S ALSO DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF ROOT BEER, TOO, LIKE CREAM SODA. AND DIET. (EW.) THERE’S ALSO SOME ALCOHOLIC ROOT BEER LIKE “NOT YOUR FATHER’S” WHICH IS KINDA OKAY??? IN MODERATION???
PROMISES OF ROOT BEER WILL LURE ME OUT OF THE HOUSE. I HAVE MADE 2AM RUNS FOR ROOT BEER. I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS AN AMERICAN-ONLY DRINK WHEN I STUDIED ABROAD IN EUROPE. MY MOM HAD A 2-LITER OF IT WAITING FOR ME WHEN I GOT BACK.
IN SUMMARY: ROOT BEER IS THE SHIT Y’ALL DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE MISSING OUT ON.
Moon–dear please, calm down, it’s just roo–
…You know what, I won’t complete the end of that sentence.
God damn. I fucking love you so much. This post has been … enlightening, to say the least.
so root beer is basically fizzy vanilla soda?
WHY DON’T THEY JUST CALL IT VANILLA SODA
WHY THE “ROOT”
WHY THE “BEER”
Root beer is a tan sweet beverage traditionally made using the root beer tree Sassafras albidum (sassafras) or the vine Smilax ornata (sarsaparilla) as the primary flavor.
