Mouthwash? You sure you weren’t drinking a bad sample? A&W brand root beer has a decently strong vanilla taste, although I personally prefer Barq’s which doesn’t.
Make sure root beer is ice cold, like nearly frozen. Room temp (warm) root beer can have a cough syrup flavor to some people.
Also there are a TON of different types of root beer. Some are better than others. I’m a 1919 and Triple XXX fan. Sprecher is also good, but the others are better, just sprechers is easier to get.
Warm root beer is an entirely different drink. Still good IMO, the taste is softer and more drawn out. Cold rootbeer is crisper with a cleaner (by comparison) finish.
If you’re ok with warm root beer then you are the minority. I don’t mind most root beer if it’s warm, I like it better cold, but most of my root beer drinking friends absolutely hate warm.
Two things could hardly be more different than root beer and mouth wash. To be fair, there are a lot of different varieties of root beer - some with a heavy licorice flavor, others stronger vanilla or whatever, but they’re all sweet.
As someone else suggested, maybe you got a strong ginger beer? Those can be pretty spicy.
Nope, A&W root beer. Maybe a have some weird gene mutation like some people have one that makes cilantro taste like soap. I bought a can and even got a root beer float. Still mouthwash (not the ice cream part).
Oh, that’s really strange. Kind of reminds me of when a friend said pineapple makes your whole mouth feel like when you lick a 9v battery, and be didn’t get why people like it. Turns out he has some generic thing that’s like an allergy to it.
I dint know if the most disgusting, but the biggest delta between expectation and reality was root beer.
Expected something vanilly or maybe gingery, got mouthwash. I genuinely spit the first sip.

Mouthwash isn’t minty everywhere. Japanese usually also don’t like root beer because it has an overlap with some medicines’ tastes here

Definitely in the minority. I like grapefruit juice too.
O damn, yea you’re in the minority for sure lol

Ginger bier is quite spicy, hot if it has enough in it. What you expected sounds like sarsaparilla?
Sioux City sarsaparilla ?
Yeah, that’s a good one.

Not ginger beer, root beer. Ginger beer tastes exactly as advertised :)
