Title: Old Fashioned Root Beer

None of the ingredients would be hard for an east
coast forager to find; most of them could be gotten
from a farmers' market or by mail order. I agree that
a good commercial root beer is perfectly fine and
won't cost as much as making one's own (if you
actually try to buy the ingredients).

And then there's the alcoholic rootbeer liquor that my son is partial
to, and has special ordered when he's not near a store that will carry it.... pretty nice stuff... and sneakily potent.... ;)

Someone fed me one once, Not Your Daddy's was the name; it
was fine, not something to special order for.

Never tried that one... the one RJ likes is Blackmaker Root Beer
Liqueur, he special-ordered it from Liquorama (I think that's on the
west coast) and had it sent here. He did give us a taste from it (I'd
had some up at the Pond when he was there, but Richard never had) when
he came to retrieve it, but didn't leave us a bottle... ;(

So sounds deliberate, a feature rather than a bug.
Or maybe a feature with a bug.

Probably deliberate... possibly something that could be configured to
cut it longer, but possibly not.... BlueWave has a setting to configure that sort of thing for message length... I just have it disabled, and do
my own length-editing....

Self-editing would be my preference as well (I need
to be able to have control over something, after all).

Yeah.

The Asian brand turned out to be in between as
you implied but closer to the subtle end than
the hard brittle end.

And now I'm hooked again... (G) Bought a package for myself today when we went shopping.... the one I brought to the picnic was easily finished off there... ;)

Ah, well, at least it's not a particularly
costly indulgence.

When it's just me eating it (with a little help from Richard, maybe),
the package lasts pretty long... ;)

Even less costly, then!

True. All finished now.... I may have satisfied the urge for now... ;)
