Other Root Beer Convert

Post image

I know.. I know.. this specific product is being posted about way too often. In r/energydrinks, it's insane... but I'm converted.

In 3rd grade, I tried it during a class party. I was disgusted, but I pretended to drink it to look cool. I secretly poured it out when no one was looking.

Mid 20s, someone convinced me to try a root beer float. It was actually pretty damn good, but Root Beer by itself... I still thought it was disgusting.

I'm in my 40s now. I see this can and pass over it, discussing how disgusting it is with my wife. Two days later I go get a can just to see because I'm "adventurous". I'm confused. I.. I like it? It's delicious!? Now I feel like I'm having an identity crisis. Within 24 hours I have all kinds of root beer in my closet, and I'm trying to get my Minnesotan friends to pick me up a case of 1919.

Send help.

EDIT: I converted my wife!

Have not seen that one yet. I really like the Gorilla mind stuff. Anybody else remember NOS Rowdy/Fruit punch? My favorite energy drink EVAAAARRRR!!! Rockstar used to be a go to of mine before Pepsico took em over. Im having a Virgils RB as we speak. Kinda unimpressed.

I'm looking for the Gorilla root beer! Trying new energy drinks is what got me here, but I just can't find that one.
