  Draw a triangle.

  In one corner put Coca Cola, in anither cotton Canada, and in the third liquorice.

  Root beer tastes like the point in the middle, maybe slightly towards cotton candy and away from liquorice.

    Sounds awful. I hear that if you drink enough of it, you begin to like it, but how can you get to that point?

  It’s just really sweet. Too sweet for me. The root flavor is hard to describe really, I can understand the toothpaste comparison, but I wouldn’t say it tastes like toothpaste.

    I come from a country that uses artificial mint taste for toothpaste. That’s what I have associated with toothpaste. But I know other countries have other flavors too (like spearmint and such), which taste very different. We also have Malta which is extremely sweet non alcoholic malt beverage. The taste is not strong but I associate it with overly sweet drinks.

      Root beer is in no way minty.
