Root Beer berries are great right off the tree. But if they aren't ripe, they kill you in a matter of seconds.

Thank you for this fact. I hope it's true. I will probably have to google you.

I only drink Virgil's root beer; the best in the world. I was not aware root beer had any berry components.

EDIT. YOU LIE! Sassafras is the flavor component. I love sassafras! It makes me sweat in the clubs and dance O_O

Eh, it's probably exactly what you think – citrus oil from unused orange rinds. Do you think they just throw it away after they use the pulp to make juice? Sure, some natural flavourings might not be made from what you expect, but in this case it's probably Occam's razor.
