I quit drinking in my 30s, it was interfering with my Ketracel White addiction and had to go.

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

      Draw a triangle.

      In one corner put Coca Cola, in another cotton candy, and in the third liquorice.

      Root beer tastes like the point in the middle, maybe slightly towards cotton candy and away from liquorice.

      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.

      The closest natural flavor I could compare it to would be horehound, but if you have not had root beer then you probably haven’t had horehound. Definitely doesn’t taste like toothpaste to me though.
