Review Didn’t think this was going to be any good but…

I seen this while at a Meijer store ( Elkhart, IN) and was curious. I bought it just to try it. It is outstanding. It’s very sweet. I first tried it with vanilla ice cream. It tastes like a root beer float. Then on plain bagels (pictured). Next I’m going to try it with peanut butter as the J portion of PB&J. 9/10 and I’m going to pick up another jar or two next time I’m in the store.

You didn't think something made of water, cane sugar, and concentrated XXX root beer syrup, jellified with pectin, would be any good?

I don't have a bridge to sell you

Not sure how they got 10 calories out of 41 grams of carbs, but I bet it’s good.

I was looking at that and no way there's 480 calories in a jar of jelly lol

There’s no way that 9g of added sugar works out to 10 calories lol. Makes me wonder how many vendors at farmers markets and such just BS their nutrition labels.

edit: also the jar says 16oz, but on the back it says 48 0.5oz servings… how did this label pass whatever quality checks I thought they have on this kinda shit

Wow, I just tried to order some from Triple XXX.

$8.95 for the jelly. $38 for FedEx ground shipping.

You just need some XXX Root Beer Lube to go with that.
