Root Beer

Anakaisa, a colleague at work who had lived in the US asked me if I'd tried root beer. I hadn't. She had said that it was strange and tasted like the mouthwash you get at the dentist. I was sceptical, either the Americans have very odd soda or more likely the Finnish dentists give very odd mouthwash. Well there's only one way to test this, and so I tried the Root Beer. The photo says it all. I tried to tell myself to swallow, but something inside my mind told me to swill it around and spit it out. The verdict: America has vile and strange sodas.
