Root beer is made from the roots of plants, the sassafras plant is the main ingredient and also includes roots such as dandelion, burdock and a selection of spices. Neither of us had ever had root beet before and weren&#8217;t totally sure what to expect. For some reason I had always imagined it as a type of ginger beer with a splash of dandelion and burdock, I was quite wrong. I bravely took my first sip and was met with the taste of Listerine. Yes, this stuff tastes of mouthwash and yet everyone seems to love it. I didn&#8217;t hate it though, I actually drank a fair bit of the can but during the whole process I felt confused and my brain was a bit like, \u00a0<i>wtf is this<\/i>. So root beer wasn&#8217;t awful but I can&#8217;t say that I want to drink a can of Listerine again so it isn&#8217;t likely that I will be picking up a can next time I see some.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b><i>Do you like root beer?<br \/>Maybe the brand I picked up wasn&#8217;t so good, do you have any\u00a0recommendations?<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><i>xx<\/i><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Me and D grabbed a can of root beer when we were at Burger Burger\u00a0(more about the best burgers ever, later).
