An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Root beer. I don't even know why I like it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because it doesn't taste like the typical soda, but in a good way?

[โ€“] megane_kun 5 points 2 years ago

I suppose that's one reason.

That reminded me of the time I was in the IKEA restaurant. I had a field day trying out different soda options not readily available here.

Yung A&W rootbeer float ๐Ÿ˜ญ sana bumalik sila dito.

Hindi pa ako nakakatikim nyan! ๐Ÿ˜ญ Naririnig-rinig ko lang siya dati, pero di ko alam kung saan.

Afaik wala na sila dito sa Pinas. Yung sa megamall huli kong napuntahan mid or late 2000s pa.
Mas masarap kasi yung float vanilla ice cream tapos little to no ice yung rootbeer. Kapag nilagay na yung scoop ng ice cream hahalo sa fizz tapos aapaw. Hay memories...

Ay, sobrang late ko na nga. I used to hear of an earlier incarnation of the A&W restaurant tho, sa may Vito Cruz ata? Tapos advertised sa Eat Bulaga nung 90's. Etong nauna, ang nakikita ko (na naka-advertise), hamburgers. Tipong mas malaking version ng Whopper ng BK--that's my impression anyways.

Either incarnation di ko na rin naabutan, lol!
