In the stores around here, Not Your Father's root beer sells out almost instantly every time it comes in. But speaking as someone whose had it, it's boring. It's too thick and it has no crispness to it.

Weinhard's - watery Virgil's - lacks flavor Fentimans' - Why does this taste like Robitussin, my dawg? Bundaberg - Fentimans-lite I am completely fine with good ol' American mass produced root beer.

At least we're not talking about Moxie. It's probably one of the weirdest drinks I've ever had*, and yet somehow it still manages to be a cultural icon of Maine. *But definitely not the highest in that regard. Instead, the weirdest drink I've ever had was an imitation Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. (Most of the real ingredients are fictitious, so we had to make do.) After chugging one of these I was basically knocked out for an evening, and spent the next day feeling like mint.

zyxophoj posted:Is there any other kind of root beer? Oh yes, tons. There's awful root beer that you have to drink something else to get the taste out of your mouth. Bad root beer that you stop drinking after the first sip. Not that great root beer that you find yourself drinking for reasons you don't understand. Alright root beer that isn't offensive or anything but you're not really going to be searching it for it specifically. And good root beer. Of course, this is all extremely simplified. Anyway, I haven't tried a ton, but my favorite root beer is Barq's.

I mean seriously, Best drat is a transparent attempt to compete with Not Your Dad's leveraging superior distribution and mass-production pissbeer.

Why does every Jade Star LP always end up being a root beer chat? I mean, I love root beer. It is my favorite soda. But it just seems kinda... off topic.

Jade is noted for having a love of root beer. Said love leads to it being a topic during his lps when people are waiting on the next video.

The other great part about Florida is that you can meet any other person from Florida your age or younger, and if you ask them what their first job was, probably 80% of the time the answer will be "Publix <bagboy/cashier/stocker>"

I started a Patreon maybe a year ago mostly as a joke with funding goals like having Jenner read her Wizard fantasy fiction story, or playing the terrible anime games people sometimes humble bundle at me. I pledged the Patreon would be used for hookers and rootbeer. So far it has only been used for rootbeer, but bless the people that feed my addiction.

Jade Star wasn't married! How could he have a son?" "He happened to like hookers, okay?"
