Sorta like ginger ale, but different.

You're joking, right? Yeah, ginger ale is like root beer in that is tastes like NOTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO ROOT BEER!! :lol:

I was thinking that exact thing...but I think he was referring to the "ale" and "beer" part.

But yeah, root beer is not really like beer in any way...it's a soda, as someone else said. I didn't know there was anywhere that didn't have root beer.

It's a shame too. It's great stuff.

It's weird how things are in other countries. I mean, in the UK, Fanta is a flavor, not a brand like it is here. I remember when I was in the UK a waitress and I had a conversation that went a bit like this

Ken: What kind of soda do you have?
Waitress: [bunch of sodas] and Fanta
Ken: Oooh, what flavors do you have?
Waitress: *sighs* [bunch of sodas] and Fanta
Ken: Huh? No, what kind of Fanta do you have? Do you have grape?
Waitress: Wot?
Ken: What flavors of Fanta do you have?
Waitress: Uh, one.
Ken: Which one?
Waitress: Uh, Fanta.
Ken: What?
Waitress: Huh?
Ken: I'll take a coke.

:lol:

I was so confused. Hahaha. Fanta in the UK sucks, by the way. That was like the time in Arkansas when I told the waitress I'd like a Coke and she asked, "Which kind?" Hahaha. I was like, "Uh...Classic?" Haha! "Coke" in Arkansas (and down south) is what they call soda. Coca-Cola is what most normal people call Coke. :lol:

Yeah, I think we had a very brief trial run of non-orange flavoured Fantas a few years ago. Obviously didn't take off.

Say, does anyone here like

?

NO! The adverts used to be funny, though. Tizer is better.

And am I really the only one who still has Lemon Fanta in the local shops?

Really? In three and a half years there I only ever saw that nasty orange-that's-not-really-orange flavor.

I like Coke better...has that certain taste to it.

Pepsi is sweeter, though...

I like Coke, too. I used to drink Coke most, but when it gets warm it gets nasty. Pepsi I can drink warm, which is good because I usually buy a 16oz. bottle a day at work at 12:30pm and usually finish it around 6 or 7pm. Now I'm addicted to Pepsi. It's my crack. :lol:

Coke is like battery acid, but I can almost feel the sugar grains running through my veins when I drink Pepsi, so I prefer Coke.

Guh...I don't drink anything warm, not even water (unless I'm really thirsty). Everything just tastes horrible to me warm...

Actually, Gatorade isn't too bad warm but I'd rather drink it cold.
