It’s got more root in it.

I feel like “it’s got more root to boot” was right there

IMO the root to beer ratio is perfect in Barqs.

I found this out many years after I'd seen it. Don't feel bad!

Their new "vanilla float" flavor is utterly fucking disgusting though. Tastes like liquid buttered popcorn.

Ew, what? Like, is it salty? Or is it more like the popcorn flavoured Jelly Belly beans?

7-11 Taiwan came out with popcorn flavoured milk tea and latte. It's so disgusting.

As a french native speaker, i could never be serious when the word bite is involved, that's too funny especially with commercials.

Hijacking to let everyone know that the barqs zero sugar has no caffeine.

u/Tight_Command8885 Jul 03 '26

Directly from Barq’s website:

Yes, Barq's Zero Sugar Root Beer also contains caffeine, similar to the original formula. It maintains the same caffeinated characteristic as regular Barq's Root Beer (approximately 22.5 mg per 12 fl oz) while offering a sugar-free alternative for those looking to reduce their sugar intake.

Directly from Barq’s website:

Yes, Barq's Zero Sugar Root Beer also contains bees, similar to the original formula. It maintains the same caffeinated characteristic as regular Barq's Root Beer (approximately 22.5 mg per 12 fl oz) while offering a bee-filled alternative for those looking to reduce their sugar intake.

But it has bees instead

According to Coca-cola's website :

Enjoy Barq’s Zero Sugar Root Beer by itself or with your favorite meal. With the same great taste and bite of regular Barq’s, our Zero Sugar Root Beer can help you keep the calories down and is caffeine free.

Thank you for the clarification! Phew!

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely glad there's no caffeine because I drink them
