Why don't Germans like root beer? I haven't met

Apparently all Europeans hate it for some reason

I tried it in America about 10 years ago and thought it tasted like rank mouthwash. But at the end of last year/beginning of this year while watching the NFL playoffs, I suddenly craved it and wtf I like it now.

Yeah can confirm, my dad grew up in Europe and hated the stuff. I like it and drank it every time I went to a&w, eventually he got to the point where he could tolerate it.

Must be something about their palette that makes it really unpleasant

>>77587137

Yes, that is literally who they are meant to be.

There are certain foods that the Old World taste palette simply isn't sophisticated enough to handle.

Grits, maple syrup, root beer, sausage biscuits etc.

Maybe if you gave them the good shit (Barq's) they would like it. But at that point just go straight for Sarsaparilla. Sioux City or Snake River will do

They hate it because the flavor of root beer is open and free like the plains of our great country. They prefer more boxed-in and restrictive flavors, as anything relating to Wide Open Spaces, Freedom, or personal choice gives the European a splitting migraine which can only be alleviated by paying obesiance to his sovereign Lord.

Not really true, its very similar to a drink in the UK called Dandelion and Burdock which has been drunk since Medieval times. There's also Sarsaparilla in Australia and New Zealand, it's an Anglo drink.

You gotta try Culver's though.

For Europeans who do not have access to premium root beers there is a YouTube video by HTME that shows you how to make your own.....not sure where you'll get the Murrican lake water though.

>>77587717
ginger ale isn't as sweet, root beer is more like coke, but instead of citrus it's bitter

>>77587792
I don't doubt that someone somewhere in this country is named Cregg, but Craig is generally how it's spelled over here. A more stereotypically Ameican name would be Tyler, Chad, Hunter, or Bubba. Or Cooper, God forbid.

Hunter is a good strong name.

Is A&W even still big at all in the US?

I've heard it's been on a sharp decline for a while but it's staying strong in Canada for some reason.

>>77587717
It bites your tongue and leave a dry, earthy taste. Sarsaparilla does this even more so. Shitty root beer will overflow your palate with vanilla.

>>77587873
Oh, alright. I've never hear it pronounced like that.

Barq's is good among major label root beers.

>>77587461
I wish more beer breweries would also make root beer. Could lead to proper alcoholic root beer instead of the shitty, over-sweetened stuff that's going around right now.

>>77589299
I had alcoholic root beer at Slim Chickens.

Interesting, but I like my root beer as root beer and my beer as beer.

I must be getting old, they didn't even ask for ID.

If I get this right is root beer like something that emulates the taste and appearance of a beer but doesn't contain alcohol?

>>77589534
beer only in name really, depending on the brand its a sort of spicey, ginger sassafrass drink. really smooth

>>77589534
no, it has nothing to do with actual beer

>>77588482
only people from the Midwest say pop

if you're from Seattle I'd bet anyone around you will say soda

>>77589534
It's foamy soda that tastes a bit like liquorice.

>Modern, commercially produced root beer is generally sweet, foamy, carbonated, nonalcoholic, and flavoured using artificial sassafras flavouring.

because we are big boys and if we want to drink beer we drink beer not call some fake ass syrup beer

I love it personally. I always get it when I'm in yankland

Weirdly the cheap, artificial stuff tastes the best.

>>77587006
>>77587034
A&W rootbeer is shit.
Premium brands with less artificial ingredients and real sugar instead of corn syrup taste better for every type of soft drink/"soda", but especially so for root beer in my experience.

Good root beer doesn't just taste of vanilla, by the way.

>>77587139
Dr Pepper is actually good IMO. "Pop" is a better word than "soda" too.

>>77588147
It's not prohibitely expensive. Not something I'd use often, not only for the price, but jam is usually better on pancakes and it's more of a videly available novelty product.

Places with average numbers of black people.

The place where I grew up and lived until age 27. There are fewer black people there, but they are present.

The map is wrong, and it was made prior to 2003. It's soda in the Midwest.
>Major urban centers are black in the midwest so that means I will ignore reality and proclaim the entire midwest just as black as the rest of the US.
How black do you think the rest of the US is? Seriously, what meme lens are you using?

>How black do you think the rest of the US is? Seriously, what meme lens are you using?
Roughly 30% east of the Mississippi. More in the south, less in the north, with the percentage tapering off the further north and west you go across the Great Plains. Memes courtesy of the census bureau.
