Root Beer

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

The selling of root beer was restricted to a small number of McDonalds restaurants by 1992, due to poor sales, and stopped completely in 1993. I hated the taste of it, it tasted like medicine - YUCK !!!!! I only had it once and never again, so it's no wonder they dont sell it anymore.

I love root beer, I acquired the taste when on holiday in the USA. My local Sainsburys sells bottles of it. Its not A&W brand but its very good.

It does sort of remind me of the stuff you rinse your mouth out at the dentist with, but I am with the love it gang, very sad when Maccy Ds stopped having it !!! The stuff in cans from supermarkets aint quite the same !

Yep, I'm another one of those who couldn't stand the stuff - it was like drinking unpleasant medicine. Always have felt the same about Dr.Pepper too!

It's definitely the "Marmite" thing, isn't it? Those who hate it just can't imagine how anybody could like it (a cool root beer on a hot summer's day - wonderful!). I'm the same with Vegemite; those who like it LOVE it, but to me it's like eating earwax!
