Two nations divided by more than a common language and a lot of fish it would seem.
McDonalds used to sell it - but that was years ago. I wouldn;'t know where to get my hands on it - Most tea-spoilers live in and around Kensington and Notting Hill so there might be a shop that sold it (and powdered tea) there.
But I’ll see your root beer and raise you Ginger Beer! Especially the Jamaican stuff. It’ll put hair on your chest!
Ginger beer is a foul concoction that shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as the utterly delightful root beer.
1773, actually.
I think it’s Coke, myself. Much as I want it to be Bourbon.
No, no, NO! It’s powdered iced tea with lemony flavoring!!
You’re not a Meruhkin, are yah, yah commie pinko idgit.
That’s not much better, if at all.
Yool git mah Country Time when yuh pry it frum mah cold, daid fingers!
I don’t think you have to worry about any of us trying to take it from you.
I really want to apologize for that. You see, a homeless guy liquored up on some unholy concoction, referred to by some as a “Long Island Iced Tea”*, broke into my cube and typed the last few posts while I was filling out forms to buy GirlScout Cookies for a cow-irkers little brats. I’m truly sorry. It was wrong to leave my computer unattended while I was logged on, and I promise it won’t happen again.
*Main non-alcoholic ingredient: Coca-Cola
Generally, I agree. Root beer = best beverage on earth.
I have had only one eral ginger beer. Not Jamaican, but still, waaaaay too powerful for me to ever like. I did once have what could be considered either a very mild ginger beer or a very strong ginger ale, and it was good.
No, no, no, no! Proper Southern ladies do not used powder to make iced tea. That’s like making biscuits by whomping a can against the counter and pulling out the dough. You put the tea bags in a glass pitcher, put the pitcher outside, let the sun brew the tea, then add about fifteen cups of sugar. Lemon is optional.
Yeesh! Do I have to tie your shoes for you too? :smack:
I don’t want to offend anyone, but root beer is a disgusting beverage. If you drink it no one will ever love you and you’ll die alone and afraid.
Well how the hell do you make them, then?? 
That’s it, you just made the list.
And for the record, I once got a girlfriend BECAUSE I drank rootbeer. So ha to you! Too bad you’ll never know the pure ecstasy that is a great, frosty rootbeer.
It’s got pure ecstacy in it?
No wonder you like it.
I nominate Ass Sherry.
The Taste Sensation That’s Sweeping The Nation!
Once, eh? :dubious: That sounds an awful lot like “not any more” to me.
Anyway, don’t take this personally but if she liked rootbeer she was probably a total skank. Everyone who likes rootbeer is a total skank.
We have Dr. Pepper and many brands of root beer up here.
