I've heard it tastes like toothpaste. Never tasted sassafras or zarzaparrilla in my life. What is it like?

It's just really sweet. Too sweet for me. The root flavor is hard to describe really, I can understand the toothpaste comparison, but I wouldn't say it tastes like toothpaste.

I come from a country that uses artificial mint taste for toothpaste. That's what I have associated with toothpaste. But I know other countries have other flavors too (like spearmint and such), which taste very different. We also have Malta which is extremely sweet non alcoholic malt beverage. The taste is not strong but I associate it with overly sweet drinks.

Root beer is in no way minty.

Do you think they can save us?

I'm with Nog. Give me root beer instead of regular beer.

And a large dose of ketracel white, obviously.

What it is literally named root BEER.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, but it's pronounced root beer
