harleyman170 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 This is strange, but true. I developed a taste for the American soft drink Root Beer while on holiday in the states. Yes - I know its an aquired taste, and Yes - I know it tastes to some like Listerine, but I like it, cos im hard and from Sheffield. Unfortunately its not available here, apart from some wazz that Asda sell. So I was hoping that some of my esteemed forum posters may know of a hidden shop/store somewhere in Sheffield area that specialises in Root beer.. . . .

Mandem Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Ahgg! Root Beer My auntie lived in New York, and when she came over she used to bring sachets of Root Beer, and some cheesy puff things. I drank so much root beer and ate so many cheesy things (bit like Wotsits), that I feel sick at the thought of them and have never eaten or drunk either since.
