I love root beer. I drink quite a few different gourmet ones that I have found in a liquor store. I also like grape soda.
I drink it cause it is delicious

I don't like the taste enough to drink more than three sips. IBC, A&W, Mug, Stewarts, and Barq's are the only ones that I have tried. The Barq's tasted like something pulled up from an injection well at a DoD Superfund site.
I'll tell you what's nasty...Snapple. That stuff tastes worse than fruit flavored diesel fuel.
Like it with ice cream tooSo we had a family dinner out last night for my older son's birthday. At a local "American" styled Diner....and I decided to try a Root Beer Float. I was looking forward to the new taste experience....but what I got instead has immunised me against several known communicable diseases for at least the next 5 years.
The taste and smell combined allowed me to only chug about half of it down....after that I had this incredible urge to purge my guts all over the place. reminded me of a smell similar to Horse Liniment, mixed with Vicks Vapor-rub.
My question is - How many here actually like the taste of Root beer? And WHY?
Answers below please. I personally cannot see the attraction. BTW it was a can of AW Root beer with Vanilla Ice Cream. No pics of that due to my disdain for the taste.
Some may say no, coke taste the same everywhere but when you taste both , Mexican coke taste better because of the sugar, not corn syrup,When you have a good craft Root Beer and good quality vanilla bean ice cream then they are good. Personally I like Mexican coke (made with cane sugar) with vanilla bean ice cream for coke float, but only when its warm weather.
Those NECCO wafers, we used them as targets to shoot at with .22s. I do think the company NECCo closed up not to long ago or just stopped making the wafers.View attachment 734124 , did it have a good fizz to it?
If it was flat it could change the flavor. I think it's one of those things you either like or don't. Licorice is definitely one of those flavors that people hate or love. I guess root beer could be one of those too.
I love licorice, birch beer, different candies with licorice flavor...
