I've always assumed it was a grizzly conservation project that got past the eye of the proofreaders.

Please bear with me, I’m fitting this in when I can. Occasionally I have to sleep, and bathe, and attend to productive labour, and haul out my telescope to spy on the people across the valley, who I can confirm are curtain twitchers.
Mmmm, beer of the root
It’s non-alcoholic, which appeals to the Puritan DNA in our American heritage.* Along with its very close cousin sarsaparilla, of interest mainly to botanists, it is a fixture in the romantic Western film loop we as a nation have constantly playing in the background.

Your first time may indeed prompt a “What?” and a “Why?” As they say, there’s no accounting for taste. To those who savour the flavour, it is as close to the elixir of life as we can sip through lips parched by time and rough but honest living.

Eric's Gourmet (?!) Root Beer Site - note the helpful breakdown, including Drinkable Root Beers, Not Good Root Beers, and Garbage Root Beers.

This goes straight to the top of the queue.

Do you know Emperor Trump? Does he come to your house for tea and to play with your guns? Can you get me his autograph, or perhaps a job a Whitehouse Press Secretary?

So how come all those mass murderers with assault rifles got hold of them?

As an aside @anothersam I love your dry wit, you could pass for a Brit

Why did the Coca-Cola company cover up the fact that the Nazis invented Fanta?

Going off topic, fully functioning assault rifles aren't legal. They have to be modified for single-shot capability only, at which point they become SLR's and are no longer assault rifles.
in fact, this leads to a question for the American - Finland and Switzerland have some of the highest gun "ownership" in the world, as males of military age have to keep proper assault rifles and ammo at home, yet they have some of the lowest gun crime in the world. Why do Americans not buy lots of cuckoo clocks and Nokia mobile phones, and thus also enjoy low gun crime?

In a deep twist or irony, the Nazi regime came up with Fanta, a soft drink that could be made with locally sourced produce, because the coca cola company stopped supplying Nazzie Germany with the ingredients to make Coke.

Dear Uncle Bob,
Why do Americans conduct atmospheric A bomb tests, chuck Agent Orange about the place, fire depleted uranium shells at Iraqistani soldiers, but then get upset when VW cars pollute a wee bit more than they're supposed to?
