Seriously, why don't you just pour seltzer water in triaminic? This stuff is awful.

Recently discovered that Canadain Mountain Dew has no caffiene. What's the point of The Dew if it doesn't have a ridculous amount of caffiene?

They have something else called "Dew Fuel" that has parental warning labels on it about having "Explicit Energy" in it and is not safe for children. Whatever.

I don't drink many root beers, but I agree with Econo - Barqs is the worst.

I LOVE rootbeer, and Barq's really is the lowest of the low.

I wonder what the deal is with the Rocklands BBQ private label root beer? When I asked, the counter person didn't know if they were just repackaging a regular store brand or not

Most likely it's Dominion's. Just like a lot of other places that carry their own brand ale or lager around this area it's usually from Dominion. Mmmmm

Root beer tastes like germoline…which is weird because I've never tasted germoline and actually quite like root beer.

Anyone ever been to Mug'n'Bun near the Speedway in Indianapolis? They make some dang good rootbeer there.

However, for rootbeer you can get around here, i vote Dominion.

Sprecher also makes a really good root beer. The Dairy Godmother in Del Ray makes their root beer floats with it. Yum.
