Spike says:
People ask me where to get this. I can finally say: Hockers gas station/food store in Bethany Beach, DE. There you have it (the bottle, anyway. I don't know where I got the can...the picture is from a while ago though). A medium headless drink that's lightly carbonated.Unlikely to offend, unlikely to impress. It tastes like typical root beer. Drinkable, somewhat on the sweet side. See, that's what you get when you don't know what sweetener you're going to be using on any given day. Nothing fancy here, just a good basic root beer. If you're interested about their claim to be "the original", read what the Soda Museum has to say on the subject. B-
