I was raised with Coke and I'll die with (via) Coke.

 

[Kyuuketsu_Night]

Yeah, exactly like how licorice is the king of candy.

 

[Branduil]

One and done.

Root beer tastes like wintergreen (read: mouthwash).

I would like to know where I can purchase this root beer flavored mouthwash.

 

[Dead Man]

Very close between root beer and Dr Pepper, both of which are finally available in Australia* yay!




*at $3 a can, but that's cool, limits my soft drink intake to a can a week.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Yep Rootbeer is awesome and taste great. No other soda can fuck with rootbeers level. Its pretty much at the top, untouchable basking in all glory.

Yuno you can do better.

 

[SystemShock2]

Root beer owns, but it's lack of caffeine means it often gets passed over for me when I need that pick me up.

Barq's has caffeine in it.

Root beer floats are godly, but as for soda by itself, Coke is the way to go.

 

[sarcastor]

this is the god tier of root beer, cause its' actually brewed. whatever that means

Virgil's Root Beer contains cane sugar and a number of natural spices, including anise, licorice, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, sweet birch, molasses, nutmeg, pimento berry oil (allspice), balsam oil, cassia oil and citric acid.

and it comes in a mother fucking keg!

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Root beer tastes like, well... roots. I don't wanna drink no roots.

 

[childplease]

What are some good root beer brands.

Also what do you guys think of sasparilla .

 

[Delusibeta]

You're all wrong, the correct answer is...

 

[Dice]

It funny when people try to trash on root beer, because it has variety like regular beer. You can't just have an A&W and think you know what root beer is. The real stuff is brewed in so many different ways by independents.

 

[Kid Bushido]

Nah

Cherry coke > you

It's all swill.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

This thread made me go and buy a root beer. Thanks, OP.

(I really wish there were more caffeine-free soda choices that weren't citrus flavored.)

 

[Shambles]

Dr. Pepper is bestest.

Bestestest of the Bestest!

 

[shortyme]

Root beer is my favourite. So good.

 

[Lumination]

Only soda I bother drinking.

 

[d0c_zaius]

best root beer

 

[Mister Negative]

root beer is pretty terrible

 

[Syf]

Vanilla Coke. <3

 

[BoosterDuck]

root beer is pretty terrible

 

[Tesseract]

No.

However, Sarsaparilla + Lemonade is the greatest drink of all time. We call it a "Square and Lemon" for some reason where I live, but it's an old-fashioned name.

 

[mr2xxx]

Shit is turrible, there is reason why someone had to add vanilla ice cream to it.

Mah man. Virgil's root beer is some good stuff.

High Fucking Five! This guy knows his stuff! Virgil's has hands down the best root beer I've ever tired. The way it tastes when chilled is indescribable. The only thing brand i've tried that comes close to virgil's is Blue moon.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I've loved root beer all my life. I'll have to try out the Virgil's stuff.

 

[Sober]

I have yet to try sarsparilla. How different is it from typical (i.e. A&W, Barqs) root beer?

I just realized that even though I love root beer (Coke Classic is #2) I haven't really ever had anything outside of A&W or Barqs. I need recommendations!

 

[RELAYER]

I've heard that Europeans don't "get" root beer?
True?

 

[wenis]

You spelled ginger beer wrong.

 

[Xece]

Does Beer count as a soft drink? If yes, then beer.

 

[Talon]

Just recently I found out they made hard Root Beer

Hard root beer is delicious. Sprechers used to make a brew that they only sold at the brewery. Perfect amount of bitter alcohol at the end to cut the cloying sweetness.

 

[Rayis]

Root Beer and Dr. Pepper are both disgusting

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Alcohol=hard drink.

Most sarsparillas have heavier wintergreen flavoring, which I really don't like at all. But really there is no consistent difference, it's just an issue of nomenclature. Worth trying though.

 

[Xece]

Alcohol=hard drink.

Then what is O'doul's?

 

[Stinkles]

You're all wrong, the correct answer is...

Mah boy!

When you have a hangover, this and a black pudding and fried egg roll with brown sauce. Should be patented.

 

[Magnus]

King of soft drinks?

If you like the taste of liquid bubble gum, sure. Too sweet for human tongues.

I actually enjoy a coke that's like, 10% root beer added in. It's too potent a flavour on its own. Alone, it's like, the Wasabi of drinks; too offensive.

 

[SmarterUnconscious]

This might be an interesting story for some people:

One hot summer's day, I was hanging at a friends house

Spoiler

getting high

and he had nothing to drink but root beer. I absolutely hated root beer but I was really, really thirsty so what else could I do? I cracked open the bottle and lo and behold, it tasted like the greatest thing ever. Now I love root beer.

 

[bigmakattack]

It's the only soda I order anywhere. So good.

 

[triplestation]

Coke + Vanilla Ice Cream!

my man

 

[BigDug13]

It's tasty enough, but I try to stick to caffeinated sodas. I at least want some return if I'm going to drink something so bad for me.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Then what is O'doul's?

Heck if I know. I don't drink that stuff.

 

[Xece]

Heck if I know. I don't drink that stuff.

Nobody does. How do they made money?

 

[Derwind]

I completely agree, I can bathe in that stuff... Rootbeer FTW!

 

[RELAYER]

Does anyone else call it Rut beer?

 

[sixteen-bit]

i like cream soda

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

For only .75 cents. You can't beat it.

 

[gdt]

I'm making a root beer float tomorrow.
