I’m from Ireland originally but growing up in America you come to realize how amazing root beer tastes

TLDR: once you have enough of root beer you'll start to love it. Long version: As an Iranian, my aunt who lived in the US would come to Iran every 3-4 years to see my grandmother, my family and relatives. One of the things she brought for the kids (myself being one) as souvenirs were Dum Dums (American lollipops). For us Iranians it was exciting to discover new flavours in the candies we had experienced locally like blueberry, butterscotch etc. but one that really stood out was root beer. Literally my entire family hated those, so nobody ate them. But you know, you go through the entire box and in the end you'll have to eat the ones you don't like too. But nobody even touched the root beer flavoured ones, so I started eating those and slowly but surely I developed a taste for them to that point that they became my favourite flavour by the end of the box! Decades later, my grandmother, aunts and many relatives had passed away, I was travelling to Canada to go to a wedding and happened to stop at a Wendy's to get a burger and there it was, an actual root beer drink for the first time in my life! I ordered one and drank it (the flavour was very close to Dum Dums!) and man, it was nostalgia in my mouth. I had a few tears thinking about my grandma and auntie, but thanks to Root Beer, I'll remember them every time I pop one open.

I love root beer, and always have, but I did grow up drinking the stuff so I have a lot of wonderful memories connected to the taste of root beer, too. Have you ever tried cream soda? It is a vanilla soda, too, though a different vanilla, so you might like it, too. It isn't as dark tasting, but does have its own unique profile, like root beer does. I feel as nostalgic with that soda as I do root beer. I think Dum Dums makes that flavor, too, if I am remembering correctly. Both flavors always take me back to my childhood when my family lived in Florida. My aunt had a beautiful pool in her back yard and it was fully screened in, even overhead, and the yard was completely enclosed with thick privacy hedges and beautiful landscaping, so it felt like we were the only people in the world. The patio surrounding the pool had the most comfortable lounge furniture and grill area, and tropical plants and flowers everywhere, that made it feel more like a fantasy scene out of an old movie, than it did someone's back yard. My uncle was a hard worker, and was both a mail carrier and a police officer, but was a big kid at heart, so was a lot of fun, when he would have barbeques and play with us kids. When we moved out of state, we continued to go back down to Florida for vacations, and we would always take a big variety of canned sodas, root beer and cream soda always being included, and we would stay with my aunt and uncle. Now I cannot taste either of them without my mind going right back to their back yard barbeques in their heavenly back yard. My uncle has long since passed, and my aunt is now elderly, living with her daughter and her husband in Louisiana, and I never have the opportunity to travel anymore, so those memories are even more precious than ever to me, and I am so thankful that I have them! I rarely drink soda of any kind anymore, but I do, on rare occasions, drink one, and relive as many memories as I can, while I savor the flavor.

The cause is methyl salicylate (a less toxic substitute for the chemical 'sassafras albidum' originally used to flavor root beer and sarsaparilla)... many countries use the chemical to flavor medicines, and a subconscious association is made between the chemical and a material that is purely medicinal. A few countries (i.e. United States) do NOT use methyl salicylate to flavor medicine, and the association is never made for their population, allowing their minds to connect the taste with other culinary bitters (such as arugula, coffee and saffron).

So fun fact. Barq's Root Beer was developed and manufactured about 30 miles from where I live in Biloxi/Gulfport, Mississippi. When The Coca-Cola Company bought them out and moved production to Atlanta, Georgia, they had a hard time getting the flavor just right. They sent a team of scientific investigators to the old Mississippi plant and what they found is that the original Barq's was using polluted water out of the Biloxi river. People around me to this day still remember and prefer the original flavor to the new one.

Quark looking mournful, says " you wanna know the frightening part?" If you drink enough of it, you'll tend to like it!" Just like the Americans!

I certainly think it is an acquired taste. I believe root beer sucks, and cannot understand why anyone likes it. Perhaps I wasn't introduced to it early enough and gotten used to its flavor. The reason for that is likely when my parents first tasted root beer, they thought it sucked.

It tastes like that really mild mouthwash that they give you at the dentist/orthodontist after you get a filling, a flavour we're trailed from a very young age to not swallow

Root Beer gets its iconic flavor from something called Sasparilla, which is made by the Sassafrass Tree, which is native to the US.

From the UK and root beer is my favourite soft drink. I love it.

I have the feeling they're consuming these root beers at room temperature, which is how most beer is consumed by people from Ireland. The thing is, you DON'T DRINK ROOT BEER AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. It must be consumed COLD. And why did no one make these poor souls a root beer float?

But even though I don't necessarily like root beer all that much, it's definitely not as bad as they all make it out to be in this video. Their reactions are way over the top and unnecessary. There's a reason root beer is as popular as it is, and that's because tons of people like it. I don't know, maybe I'm just annoyed by their ridiculous over the top reactions in the video.

If you think about it, the like/dislike ratio, paired with the views and numbers of comments, is the most American thing ever. The amount of comments is almost half the number of likes + dislikes which seems like an insanely high level of engagement. A bunch of foreigners gave their honest opinion of a beloved American institution (root beer), and the consensus is "gross!" because that's how they honestly feel. As a result, the like/dislike ratio looks like a HUGE red flag upon first glance, but if you dig deeper you'll find a comment section that's actually incredibly interesting, with many fascinating and varied discussions going on. I'm not even sure this was the intention, but it's a really accurate little sliver of the power and influence of American culture, all contained in a little 4-minute video about root beer. Great stuff.

The funny thing is a great deal of brewers and drinkers of the original root beer in the American colonies were Irish. Irish immigrants are thought to have even developed the original recipe of root beer in the 1600s, although it isn’t certain who the first brewers really were.

If they're born in Ireland their food is more natural. In the US we have more processed foods with like 50 ingredients. Take something from your shelves like a pack of cookies or something and compare it to what they eat. Their ingredients are like 3-8

Who thinks root beer is served warm the producers are idiots!!!

I have to admit that i'm puzzled about how root beer became so popular in the USA. I grew up with it and have always loved it, and I learned a few years ago that Asian people tend to not like it, saying it smells & tastes kind of like medicine to them, but to hear Europeans also say they don't like it confuses me, because the people who came to the USA and created and developed and drank and liked root beer in huge numbers......were Europeans! So now i'm curious about sarsparilla and sassafras, drinks which were progenitors of root beer. At some point in American history, European colonists and immigrants had to have tried it for the first time. Did they react like these folks in the video did? And what changed that made them not only like it but love it?
