Our standard movie fare when we go to the cinema is a couple of big boxes of popcorn and a large Mirinda root beer from the snack bar. (Unless we go to the SFX Cinema at The Emporium; cretinous SFX is the only local chain that does not have root beer.)

(which also makes a very excellent and properly spicy birch beer, incidentally)

I’m not even a big pop drinker, but Boylan’s root and birch beer are _ridiculously_ good.
