Root beer sucks now

I busted my but today and it hit 107 degrees. Our anniversary dinner on Wednesday was a flop so we decided to try again tonight. We had a nice dinner and we went for a drive along the river. We stopped to get something to drink and I thought, today is the day to have a root beer. Soda wasn't a trigger for me but it was something that I enjoyed when camping, a bbq or during a special event.

I bought my old favorite, Henry Weinhards, and I had three sips. Three slightly burning, flavor lacking, seriously disappointing, burping for the next 30 minutes sips of nasty, I'm never going to try that again.

I'm disappointed but not all at the same time. It is interesting how our tastes change so much.

I love root beer too! In fact, before I knew that the safrole in sassafrass root was potentially carcinogenic, I loved drinking it as tea. I still love the scent of it! Oh well, we are giving up a few things in the service of better health and greater freedom. So be it!

Glad you hated the root beer!

Happy anniversary btw!

Yup. Three years post-op Diet Cokes leave me blah. Hardly ever have one. And when I do I don't get even close to finishing it.

Don't miss it at all. :)
