I understand that these are not too bad with a tablespoon of ranch dressing, low fat of course. ---

No, the most common answers to that question are tooth paste, mouthwash and bubble gum. Itā€™s so funny to read conversations between Americans and non-Americans about the taste of root beer. > **[r/AskReddit - Non-Americans of Reddit: What is your opinion on root beer?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3kjhcs/nonamericans_of_reddit_what_is_your_opinion_on/)** > > 638 votes and 1,330 comments so far on Reddit ---

@Eric This was the funniest thing Iā€™ve seen in quite some time! And @Aaron and @Michelā€™s witty repartee made it even better!!! Iā€™ve totally tried a GTab before and honestly EH and I figured the only people who ate them were people who had major self-control issues ā€“ we thought they tasted like crap, and the only reason you would have them around is because you couldnā€™t possibly binge eat them. And the thought of eating five of them ā€¦ bleech! Obviously the majority of people here actually like GTabs! My mind was blown!!! ---

> [@Michel](#): > > @Boerenkool, that thread was hilarious! I found it a couple of months ago when I tried root beer for the first time. Most stores here donā€™t sell root beer, but I accidentally found it at a local store and bought it out of curiosity. I expected it to taste like ginger beer, which tastes awful, but I was curious anyway. I decided to try it when I had a hypo. I was totally surprised, my reaction was the same as some of those folks on reddit: ā€˜this tastes somewhat like toothpaste!ā€™ So I wondered why it would be so popular in the US. I mean, it doesnā€™t taste bad, but I couldnā€™t imagine so many people liking a toothpaste flavored drink. And then I found that reddit thread. ---

@Boerenkool What brand did you get ahold of? There is a great variety of flavors in root beer in the states. ---

I didnā€™t remember, but I checked the grocery storeā€™s website and it said they sell White Rock. ---

Ok, so you had a premium root beer, which means it could taste anywhere on the spectrum. If you want the mass appeal version look for A&W root beer. Much more sugar, much less taste than a premium root beer. Then you will understand the mass appeal. And it doesnā€™t taste like toothpaste IMHO [Next page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/new-gtabs/1888.md?page=2)
