I love root beer, but not Mug. That stuff is awful.

I used to love Barq's as a kid, but at some point I just lost my taste for it.

[–] ALilOff 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Once I cracked my first bottle of IBC, Barqs never tasted the same

[–] Graphy 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I miss IBC I think they went bust or some shit so you can’t find them anymore.

[–] Cris_Color 10 points 2 months ago

Glancing at ibc in Instacart it looks like ibc is still available where I am

[–] ggppjj 8 points 2 months ago

You're right about them going bust, but they were bought by Keurig/Dr. Pepper and is in stores, just probably none near you. My local Walmart has it.

Take unlimited root beer, use it to flood England, 2 birbs 1 stone

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But that much root beer would raise the sea level! Then again it would make the sea near europe mildly root beer flavored for a while...

Where can you get the infinite root beer?

Can you summon them anywhere you want? Can you summon them inside other people to kill them?

Can you only summon them right in front of you?

Is there just a place that when you take one, another one appears? If so, what would happen if you held your hand where it was supposed to appear?

For all 4 cases, what happens to the air where the cans appear?

Is there just a portal from where you can put your hand in to grsb the beer? Could you push people in the pirtal?

Asking the real questions here

He saved the world. He somehow made a truly infinite renewable resource and we used it for energy, water, and growing crops.

Which is what I'd like people to say about me, but their hitmen are after me. They know my gift would not even ruin them, but even that small threat to a loss of profit is too much for them.

I'm on the run, but wherever I go, I try to help those in need of a crisp refreshing beverage. They can't root me out, you beerter believe it.

Coming this summer: Mug Shot

Day 982. I have accepted my fate. I will never escape the Mug dimension. I drink another root beer. It tastes like blood. I'm glad for the new sensation.

While the image crosses through Wales, I am going to assume it, Scotland, and Northern Ireland would be spared.

Sorry, England. I'm having a mug moment.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I’m having a mug moment.

Sounds very funny to English ears, as it happens.

Root beer is alcohol free.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is also not really beer.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I only drink water

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank God someone is clueless about root beer, so that I have more root beer.

[–] uienia 8 points 2 months ago

You are in luck then, because the majority of the world's population is clueless about root beer.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

root beer has absolutely nothing to do with beer though, apart from the name.

[–] ransomwarelettuce 11 points 2 months ago

I don't want to get rid of England fr, but I also don't want Mug fr, so, like, can we get rid of France instead

[–] PostProcess 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Then it's too easy a decision!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can I warn Steph Sterling, Laura Dale and Hbomberguy, before I decide?

Can I pick neither? I'm more of a Barqs man.

They said England is no more, but that red X is also deleting Wales and Northern Ireland.

I'm not the biggest fan of Mug, but I've loved this past week in England. So I guess I have unlimited, crappy, root beer for me.

But do you like England even less?

You could always start a root beer stand or something and sell the unlimited root beer with no overhead.

Sounds like it’s time for a Free Ireland, but at what cost? (unlimited mid root beer)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

While I normally don't give the Brits much credit, gotta say NI is not being held in the UK against its collective will. Your imagined cruel English oppressor holding on to land by force, opposing the will of the local population, is out of date in the 21st century.

Almost all Brit politicians would love to be the PM at the time of Irish unification.

Since 1998, the NI Secretary is obliged by treaty to carry out a referendum for unification as soon as polling indicates there's a reasonable chance it would get a yes majority.

It just hasn't happened yet. It probably will, within a few decades.

Make an instant fortune by shorting the market, and get free but mid quality root beer.
