It's been a soda or carbonated soft drink for generations made from the sassafras plant root as the primary flavor. we used to have lots of drive in diners called A&W that sold it along with food. A&W root beer is still available today, just not as many of the drive ins are still around anymore.
shareIts a carbonated beverage with the main flavoring ingredient derived from the sassafras root, as referenced in the name.
It's evil, medicinal and just plain awful.
shareIt tastes a lot like liquid licorice to me.
shareIt makes your hair fall out and turns you impotent.
Native Americans gave it to victims of human sacrifice so that the horrific taste would take their mind off the pain of having their hear excised.
The Japanese offered it to General MacArthur so he would not return.
In Greek mythology the damned were doomed to spend eternity drinking an endless bottle of it.
Jesus turned water into it, which explains why he was Crucified

Find Barqs or IBC. A&W and Mug are gross.

There are many kinds and similar products like sasparilla and birch beer. Small batch root beer is fantastic. The commercial stuff isn't that great. There's an east coast brand, Stewart's, that's the absolute best. Also comes from a small chain of drive ins like A&W.
shareI think it is similar to Dandelion and burdock.

Very similar.
It wasnt me, it was the other three. Hang them!
Root Beer used to be available from McDonalds in England, certainly in the 1980s but I haven't seen it on their menu for some years.

I remember when I was a I kid at a Christmas family get together decades ago, I was drinking a can of root beer and without realizing it, when I was holding the can, my fingers were covering up the word root so only the word beer was shown and my aunt was freaking out thinking I was drinking a can of beer...
If you like root beer you should try birch beer! It is hard to get by Cracker Barrel still carries it. It's like root beer but with a stronger kick!
shareIt tastes a bit like sarsaparilla
