they only put the tahitian vanilla in this one but they threw in “natural spices of wintergreen, birch, anise, & sassafras.” i dunno, it is a similar taste to that of the sarsaparilla, maybe a little more torerable over the long haul. or maybe not as that all too familiar awful stomach feeling is coming back to me. i don’t think much of anything else causes this. maybe it is the triple filtered carbonated water or something. it isn’t a sick feeling, more of a “i should poop soon” feeling.

I gave this one a 55, it has no and I mean zero root beer taste. I was watery and even the wintergreen taste was weak.
Another awful, watery, weirdly-sweetened attempt at a root beer for the “organic” shopper as this brand is prevalent in food co-ops and natural/health food stores–despite it’s use of refined white (GE BEET) sugar as its primary sweetener.
[…] the ingredients are the same as those of their soda of the same name that i reviewed 17 years ago. yet the nutritional info is different so it kind of has to be a […]
