Originally Posted By Mr X That kid's a wuss though... I could drink the 10 in one minute...easy. In fact, if you put in in one big cup I could do it in 10 seconds. It's JUST soda. A bit of a nasty taste, but come on??

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo we were kind of disappointed they did not have larger quantities of the Watermelon soda on sale in the China pavillion. In the German Biergarten, they will make you the Mezzo mix if you ask nicely, though you can make it at home too - it's just coke and orange soda mixed together.

Originally Posted By Mr X That's funny Dave...Japanese folks tend to hate rootbeer as well.

It's funny, cause they also have these injury pads with medication that actually SMELL like rootbeer (weird), so I think that's where they get the impression that it "tastes like medicine". Me? Love the stuff.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Yep, we have an antisceptic cream here that drives me crazy. I love Rootbeer, but at $2 a can on special order, we only tend to buy it at Christmas! I OD on the stuff when stateside.
Originally Posted By u k fan I think it probably helps that Dave and I both grew up drinking Rootbeer. Growing up I had a lot of American friends who lived on a nearby RAF base so I did alright on that score. I never did take to Grits though!!!
