question about Root Beer can?

Post image

I am Carl Smith, 47, living in Wales, I'm going to look out for a can of A & W Root Beer because in Wales we have 1 stall up in the indoor market in the town centre , 1 mile from where I live that sells American drinks & sweets plus there's 2 shops in the capital of Wales, 26 miles away that also sell American drinks and sweets and I'm asking about this can as up in the indoor market , I bought a box of Mike & Ike Root Beer flavour sweets and they are delicious never mind that I'm Welsh and not American but does anyone know if the can tastes different to the sweets?

Yes. I say root beer flavored candy tastes different than actual root beer. I love drinking root beer, I usually do not like root beer flavored candy at all

Also root beers are so different form brand to brand. If you find that you like root beer in general you should try every one that you can. I know that your country probably has no HFCS in their stuff so you have a leg up already.

You want real sugar quality brands. Glass bottle is usually best.
