minus-squarePhil_in_here@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoThe problem sounds like you’re either buying mint root beer or caramel mouthwash. I can understand not liking root beer, but that comparison is unhinged.

minus-squareTattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoMouthwash over here isn’t defaulted to mint flavour. You’d have to specifically buy mint flavoured mouth wash for that. Or to put it in a way an American understands; our mouthwash tastes like your root beer.
minus-squareWispy2891@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoSame. First time that I went to the us, saw an a&w and ordered a root beer, curious because read enthusiastic things about that. In the beginning I thought the cashier pranked me with a cup of mouthwash

minus-squareTattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoYeah, exact same experience. First time I tasted root beer that was my exact response, much to the confusion of Americans. XD
