The holy grail of drinks. Best served colder than on Pluto
Root Beer is a sweet drink that thinks it's beer, however it's not. This does not stop it from tasting amazing and being popular for centuries. However, only UnAmericans like it as most people from Europe think it tastes like shit. We all know they're lying as they mistook it for alcohol because this is REALLY GOOD STUFF!!! Even 0 sugar which is notorious for tasting like shit is saved by RB.
Root beer is dark in color like Coke but sweet as hell, this makes it popular with children who not only like sweet things but also want to look cool with beer but can't because they aren't 21 and they would not like how strong a beer tastes. This increases sales because people like it so much they always buy it. This means more money for the manufactures.
There are many brands of root beer with completely different taste profiles and marketing, these include:
- Mug: Thinks it's the best because of kids on TikTok but it's nowhere near that. Still the most popular.
- Barqs: Supposedly "has bite" because of caffeine but has only 20-something milligrams. Mug-stans think it's the devil.
- A&W: The actual best of the big 3. Sure, they may have lied about the vanilla but it doesn't matter.
- Any brand you won't find at your average supermarket: Not made by a big company, so they destroy all of them because "big company=not that good" for some reason.
Btw, root beer can be actual beer because some people add booze to it. This makes it UnLegal for children to buy depending on their age in the country but it's usually 18 all across the UnWorld but the UnUS has it at 21 for some reason. It's stupid, I know.
