Ty here for YEG Exotic, and I'm coming right out the gate on this one: Of the 107 different Rootbeers I've had the pleasure of perusing (R.I.P. Chugs Rootbeer store), the best rootbeer award has consistently gone to O-So Butterscotch Rootbeer, and there's nothing O-So about it. This is the closest I've reached of the liquid candy fountain of nirvana, and one of two drinks I can't slow down to savor. It's a real problem, like eating an entire large popcorn before the movie even starts. As I write this I can feel my salivary glands sweating in anticipation like I don't already drink enough of them as it is.
Why the love, you may have forgot to ask? Because O-So commits. They don't just accent their rootbeer, doesn't give it a little splash of sweetener, it hits you like a pigeon slapping Fabio in the face on a rollercoaster (Look it up, it's great.) It's such a powerhouse of butterscotch flavor that every brand I've tried since just can't hold a candle, let alone a torch. It's the single greatest candy flavored soda I've tried and believe me that list is quite extensive.
Now is it a Rootbeer if it's not to its roots? I dunno, was Tokyo Drift not the best Fast and Furious movie despite being a spinoff? That's some food for thought, and this is Ty, signing off.
