Default Weird Drinks

root beer tastes like the smell of germolene.

why anyone would want to drink it is beyond me but somehow it's strangely moresome after two hours graft on the road bike..

I love root beer! Must be with sugar, though. (Not the rancid artificial sweetener that the marketing types try to convince us is harmless and aftertaste less.)

I used to bring back loads from the states when we did the Boston and New York runs a few years back. Empty suitcase out, oddly stuffed to the gunnels coming back. Bargs, Mug, A&W. not fussy.

A&w - that's the stuff! an american friend of mine (and proud 1966 mustang owner!) gave me a couple of cans of the stuff to try out..

weird, but in a good way!

And that from someone born in the country where IRN-BRU comes from.

" Made in Scotland from girders"






ps
I must admit i do like it though, but must be cold!

and it does bring on the wind a wee bit!
