Dog 'n' Suds was pretty good. Hasn't been one hereabouts since 1957.





Hey Seth,



Ever try "Dog 'n' Suds" root beer? So good, you almost get a buzz off it.



I guess this conversation has drifted far away from the original dialect

focus, but I just wanted to provide *my* opinion on root beer. :)

I thought IBC root beer was great, but after several months realized I had

just been taken in by their neat bottle. I did a taste test on various root

beers and found A & W to be among the best, and Dad's Old Fashioned pretty

good. IBC was mediocre and the world's worst is FANTA (by Coke again) with

a close tie for second worst with Shasta & Faygo.



IBC is the only company I know that still makes Sarsparilla. (Hoffmann's

in NY

used to.)
