I drink root beer so rarely so I guess a sixpack and no England.
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.
I’m having a mug moment.
Sounds very funny to English ears, as it happens.
Hella mug Moment, bruh
Make an instant fortune by shorting the market, and get free but mid quality root beer.
Sorry, I like Warhammer more than soda. So the island stays.
Isn’t the choice between removing england or getting the soda? You can have your England and drink it too.
It’s not healthy for me. We can keep England.
Can I warn Steph Sterling, Laura Dale and Hbomberguy, before I decide?
How dare they hold Hbomberguy hostage.
I’d take the deal for a single can
They said England is no more, but that red X is also deleting Wales and Northern Ireland.
One could interpret it as all the localities with their own distinct cultures are freed from the yolk of the Bri’ish crown. Tolkien loved England but hated the Bri’ish empire as an example.
and a small part of france, but not scotland
Acceptable casualties
This could also just be an implication of a name change. So “England” is no more, but it’s now called “Angland.”
Bye England!
Unlimited Mug (I’m a cynical Londoner).
Mug Moment
i dont drink alcohol
Trivium found on Wikipedia:
The guy that commercialised it was a teetotaller and wanted it to be called Root Tea, but because his target market were miners in Pennsylvania, he opted to call it Root Beer instead.
From my understanding, that title would be more accurate too, as it is produced from molasses with extract rather than grain mash, but my source is “skimmed Wikipedia” on both topics, so you should probably default to skepticism.
Either way, it apparently doesn’t taste like beer, comes in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic* variants, usually doesn’t contain caffeine and has a ton of flavours and variants from all over the world. If you care, you probably can find some.
*The process does involve fermentation, so I assume it will contain some ethanol still, even if it’s below the threshold for the “non-alcoholic” label, in case that’s an issue for you.
Root beer is alcohol free.
Thank god i also dont like alcohol free beer then
It is also not really beer.
I only drink water
Thank God someone is clueless about root beer, so that I have more root beer.
You are in luck then, because the majority of the world’s population is clueless about root beer.
root beer has absolutely nothing to do with beer though, apart from the name.
I use arch btw.
It’s like a sweetened, fizzy sassafras drink. Pretty good depending where you get it.
The USA has a weird thing where we use the words for alcoholic drinks to describe non-alcoholic ones. We also call spiced fruit drinks “cider” and actual cider “hard cider”. Not sure why.
I would like to phone a friend Regis; Jean-Christophe Bonaparte.
I don’t like Root Beer.
It’s insidious!
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.
Once I cracked my first bottle of IBC, Barqs never tasted the same
I miss IBC I think they went bust or some shit so you can’t find them anymore.
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.
Glancing at ibc in Instacart it looks like ibc is still available where I am
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
Then it’s too easy a decision!
Bye bye, you redcoat commie bastards! Finally, Britain is no more! Take that, King Richard!
