  • Russian trying root beer, and as well making a cold root beer soup?..
    That's not something you expected to see today, right? :)
    I hope you enjoyed the video, because I'm really happy to share this experience with you.
    I would say we don't have anything close to this here.
    Like, you might have heard of Russian herbal beverages like Baikal or Tarkhun, but these are way different.

    Soda actually started as a form of medicine, believe it or not. Soda has carbonated water in it which back then was thought at the time to be a cure for arthritis and the flavoring and sugar was meant to make it easier to drink. Eventually this was dropped because that turned out to not be true but the drinks popularity stuck because since it wasn't alcoholic (soft means no alcohol and hard means alchohol is present) it could be marketed to everyone. Hence its prevalence in the West.

    There are 2 ways to do a root beer float. If you are a person who likes the foam, pour the root beer over the ice cream, if you don't like the foam, put the ice cream into a glass of root beer. The foam is produced when you pour the root beer over the cold ice cream.

    I believe the popularity of soda in the US is way down because they found out that phosphoric acid is really bad for you. (Both coke and Pepsi have it)
    Some root beers have it, some don’t. I’d go by the ingredients.
    We had a similar soda called birch beer. In our yard we’re 3 large black birch trees. When they had little shoots growing out of the base of the tree, we would pick them and chew on them for the flavor of birch beer.
    A fun show, thanks.

Also, they use to be a sort of fast food chain, and the root beer at the restaurants was the best. There are "craft" root beers that do use real vanilla, and they are usually very good.

    I don't like root beer in general. I tried to give it another try when I got older and I still can't drink that stuff. 🤢
    And I tried Coke float before, and I just can't. ...What about Dr. Pepper or Fanta float? 🤔

    To me, Root Beer tastes exactly like Pepto Bismol, the gooey pink indigestion medicine. That weird fake bubblegum flavor.

    Root beer in a can is horrible! They don’t make a good root beer anymore! Stuff is only good for a foot!

      @@Zangieff A & W especially is made to pour into a glass, like you would a Guinness beer. Then you let the foam settle. But I get how it's unusual and an acquired taste.
      Having watched a bunch of Russian vloggers though, I'm surprised. It seems like 'tinctures' of various plants. Rootbeer started out as the American equivalent of that...roots, berries, etc boiled then concentrated into a syrup with sugar, then mixed with soda (i.e. gassed) water.
