Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 yes, and they sell it in the stores as well. diet A & W cream root beer is the best! trust me, try it and you'll like it. Regards, Re: water better then cola? Cy, You're not the only one that remembers those car hops and A & W root beer places. The last A & W root beer stand I saw was here in Riverside circa 1980 when it was torn down to become some Mexican fast-food place that was very short-lived, making way for yet some other building. Don't even know what it is now as it's been mucked over so many times. But yes I remember those frosty mugs of root beer. And no, the A & W sold in the store was NEVER as good as what you got at the stand. They had good burgers, and what you really got there was a wonderful time all wrapped up and it didn't even cost that much. Back in the 60s I was much too young to worry about dating when my folks used to take us to A & W, but I sure have many good memories of a hot Saturday afternoon with a frosty mug of root beer the likes of which I've never tasted since, and a fond memory of things today's generation will never know anything about, just as I also remember drive-ins and diners, all those good things! Like the 5 cent bottles of coke I mentioned earlier, it's all memories I can cherish... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have haeard this also. About forty years ago my aunt was shot and the doctor who took her damaged kidney out told her to lay off carbonated drinks since they hurt the kidney. He said she needed to take care of the kidney she had left. She has lived this long with hardly any kidney problems. Dean I personally know someone who literally is older than dirt.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 There are no carbs in lemon jice. that is one fruit diabaetics can have in unlimited quantities. Just add splenda!
