Oh, pish-posh. The one I went into several years ago was like walking into Arnolds from Happy Days, except with more black people as servers. ......... Now that I think about it, I guess you may be kinda right.
Have not faith in your false idol, Root Bear. Worship your one TRUE god, Mr. Icee. New Flavor: Fresh Blood Sacrifice
I have one a few blocks from my house, but it's one of those two'fers with a Long John Silvers... 'cause they go together so well. Buuuuut, about 15 minutes from me there's an old fashioned A&W Rootbeer drive-in stand where...wait for it...the servers come out on roller skates. I'd eat there all the time if the whole experience didn't make me feel like a lecherous creep.
The only nonalcoholic beverage more vile than A&W root beer is diet A&W root beer. It just edges out diet Dr. Pepper. I keep a can in the medicine cabinet as an Ipecac substitute.
