Indicible:
It begs the question, whose paddle is that? Pintsize's? We know he has some underwears and condoms stocked up. But a paddle? He would need a partner in spanking. Unless it belongs to other occupiers of the place. Marten? We know he is strictly vanilla. Faye and Angus? Well, that could work.I do not see either of them bottoming, so, switches?

I tried that stuff once. (It's pretty hard to get by Germany) It tasted like vanilla coke mixed with a herbal toothpaste and even more sugar. Can't say that I liked it much.

Root beer is mostly a North American thing, on account of its original source being the sassafras tree root, which was used for tea first. Most root beer has varying elements of sassafras in it (or something trying to taste like sassafras), but there's no one solid recipe. There are a few non continental varieties, including one in the UK, but they likely have very different flavors from the US standard- the one Ankhtahr tried was likely from the UK and had too much mint. Vanilla coke is a reasonable comparison, but root beer doesn't have the coke aftertaste, just lingering sweetness. The big brands are A&W, Barqs, and IBC, so if you try one of those you'll have the generic American experience with the beverage. However, they're also all force carbonated; there are only a few places that serve it naturally carbonated, for a much smoother and mellower taste, like my aforementioned restaurant. You can make it with this kit, if you're the hands on type: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e86c/

Not if you read the comments below mine.

Since she was seen with it before, it's likely Fayes.
ankhtahr:
First of all, my name is Ankhtahr :roll:
The root beer I tried was an A&W one. Herbal toothpaste and vanilla coke.
And doesn't root beer only contain artificial flavour nowadays as sassafras root is poisonous?
bhtooefr:
According to Wikipedia, apparently if the safrole is removed, sassafras extract can still be used to produce commercial root beer, but AFAIK all of the mainstream American root beers don't use it. (I don't care for the mainstream American root beers, though, and can only tolerate them if they're in a root beer float.)
Although, a local BBQ place carries Henry Weinhard's Root Beer, and that actually does use sassafras extract. I liked that one, although it's HFCS-sweetened, which... yeah.
jwhouk:
You poor non-North Americans who've never had proper Root Beer.
Or, the best type of Root Beer: the Root Beer Float!
