- Soda Pop in the Old West
***Corrections: Vernor did not "invent" ginger ale, since it had been around in Ireland and Canada prior. He created his own distinct version of it for the American market.
The 1856 record of "Soda Pop" is from the Butte Record Newspaper. Apparently that is Butte County, California, not Butte, Montana***

Thumbs down have no taste buds.
What kind of mutant downvotes these videos?
@@robertbuckey6517 modern folk who have no taste buds.
Hey Santee, do you know if sour mash has any root beet or sarsaparilla
@@isacckinney7883 You mean our character on the channel named "Sour Mash"? If so, yes he does. If you mean sour mash in general, then probably not.
The Cavendish gang.
Over 100 years later and we're all still addicted to coffee and pop. This is what caffeine wanted all along, right?
Yes
Well...at least I'm not using cocaine or methamphetamines anymore.
Get off my back already.
😆
@@joelbizzell1386 LOL!
Actually cowboy some of us drink decaf out on the range. I convinced our chuckwagon master to carry some as the ol’ caffeine devil was giving me headaches worse than trackin’ down lost doggies in a box canyon. I get illy brand decaf in aluminum cans from Italy. They have a wide range of caffeinated coffee too for more cultured classic headaches. You must be a westerner calling soda “pop”. I used to too until I started to ride a whirlwind around the world 34 yeas ago and the ride has never stopped. Soda is a lot older word. It’s actually a Greek word and next time you’re there you can say it and it means exactly the same thing. Except they pronounce it “sotha” as there is no “D” in Greek. The letter Delta most people think is “D” is really “th” as in mother or the. I never noticed a difference with decaf except the headaches went away two years ago and never came back. You have a point though that people are addicted to caffeine,and there’s a lot in colas, and may not know why they feel so lousy. It’s an easy habit to kick. No arm patches of caffeine either.
@@garyfrancis6193 Right. I know a fella who drinks so much I'm not sure how he sleeps. But he does...
Moxie is still extremely popular in Maine and New England. I was astonished to find that Cracker Barrel sold it out here in Arizona. Now I don’t have to order my favorite soda from Amazon!
They do??? Cool.
It's a damn good soda. Being in Jersey, i need to go to Connecticut just to get a chance for it. Still have a few cans and a 2 litter. No one else in my family drinks it but me!
They have a lot of moxie in New England.
Moxie is the best. 👍
Growing up, I always thought that the only thing cowboys drank were alcohol and water.
Wine, gin, and some others were more prevalent than actual whiskey.
@@ArizonaGhostriders And of course coffee and tea...
And don't forget the juice that comes in a can of beans
They only drank alkali water back then, which is why they preferred alcohol. True fact from Wikipedia.
Educating Dirty Dan? "That's a lost cause." 🤣
The phrase I love in that situation- 'Like trying to teach a pig to whistle. You get nowhere and frustrated, and the pig gets annoyed' :-)
🤠
Dan's education is out in the wilderness somewhere all dazed and confused.
He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent.
That’s a joke, I say that’s a joke son.
I made a funny son and you’re not laughin.
@@alvinsanchez967 Like it! Though going to change the border to match our local polotics! :-)
My dad was a soda jerk when he was a boy. Back then they mixed the soda water with the syrup to make soft drinks. So ordering a "fountain Coke, hold the syrup, plain water" was a smart-ass way of ordering a glass of tap water.
Very cool!
I thought you would finish with; now he is just a jerk with out the soda.
I've seen Moxie at Market Street here in Mansfield.
When I was a kid back in the mid-1970's "Moxie" was sold in the little Mom and Pop store in our neighborhood. I remember it had a sweet yet herbal taste. I much preferred swilling Tahitian Treat Tropical Fruit Punch Soda with my Drake's Funny Bone Cakes. And don't forget Orange Crush! These days due to health issues the only beverage I drink on a regular basis is good ole H20. And no more Drake's Cakes either! Thanks for another great video Santee! Take care & God bless!
Fanta, too!
Charleston chew got you the most bang fer the buck
Dude, Moxie is AWFUL
loved Tahitian Treat
Moxie's still available too! It's considered a "craft" soda these days.
It makes sense that our love for soda pop has pretty deep roots.
YES!
"Not Your Father's Root Beer" is a perfect alcoholic brand of root beer.
I've yet to try it.
My little cousin drank that once because he thought it was regular root beer.
I did not care for it. We sampled a mixed 6 pack of various root Beer. They varied in flavors, in a big way. I love root beer, but the alcoholic root beers tended to be.... not as refreshing, and enjoyable.
But I do love a cream soda, and bourbon, mixed drink! Nice and smooth.
I tried that stuff one time. It tasted like rootbeer that had something wrong with it.
@@stevenmonkman1500 Yep, like it was fermented in my old Gym shoes. 🤢
We have a local soda pop company called “soda jerks”. The micro brew craze even went to soda. Great video Santee. 👍🏽
Oh wow!
this was a great episode, i had no idea that soda went back this far in time, i always figured it was from the late 1880's/1890's
I learned as well.
Santee , My Son and I went to the Dr. Pepper Museum and The Texas Ranger Museum in Waco about 4 years ago. We discovered Dr. Pepper's original name was WACO and The inventor chemist Charles Alderton recommended smoking a Cigar while drinking Waco /Dr. Pepper. By the way the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco is a must see.
I hope to check it out one day
I love Dr Pepper. It's great with Seagram's 7 and a little cherry juice too. Just drink responsibly because it's easy to drink too much of this, lol
@Wallace Raymond thanks, so much for watching
I love how I'm drinking Earp's sarsaparilla as I'm watching this
It is a tasty one.
Thank you Santee for the information 😎
My pleasure!
I had no idea that Dr. Pepper went that far back! The others I was sort of aware of their history but this one was a surprise. You all do great videos!
Thank you!
.......You had no idea that a drink that has 'est. 1885' written on every can, bottle and case went that far back?
I was born & raised in AZ, but my parents were from MI and absolutely love Vernors ginger ale. My daughter in law also born & raised in AZ and now that is the only ginger ale she will drink. TFS
Very cool!
Thanks for sharing. Was unaware of Moxie’s Popularity!
I’ve read quite a bit about bottling and the development of safe, effective method to cap a carbonated bottle (beer/soda). Yes I need to get a life.
People today don’t realize just how important the crown cork/bottle cap was! It was the greatest thing before sliced bread! ( the automatic bread slicer was invented in 1915!)
Yeah, a long time back an old neighbour died. In the best English traditions he brewed up ,beer?, in his garden shed. Later that very hot summer, BOOM, BANG, CRASH! All the old guy's bottles exploded in the shed. His name was remembered that day ! :-)
HAAH! Thanks for watching and adding info.
There used to be a Crown Cork and Seal plant in my hometown , Spartanburg South Carolina.
Nothing like a bottle of Moxie to kick you in the morning.
One day I'll try it.
Oh, Jarritos are great! I love the tamarindo flavor.
So good!
As a mexican I’m so proud that you like it
I wish they were easier to find here in us
I can't even pronounce it...
@@la_old_salt2241 Jarritos means little jars and is pronounced "hah ree tohs" try to roll the "r". And tamarindo is tamarind, just pronounce it with the o at the end ☺️
Moxie is still available in New England. It's by far my favorite but it is an acquired taste. You either love it or hate it. There still is a Moxie festival held in Maine every year.
SO I hear!
Great video again. Vernors was from Michigan so it was always a favorite here! It’s still often included in “taste of Michigan” gift baskets. 😋
Wow!! That's neat info about the baskets, thanks.
Good new one dear friends. Very much appreciated. Brings me always a smile ☺ into my face 😔
Maybe you know good beer 🍻 is very important and famous in Germany, more than soda 🥤 pop or as we say in German bubble and blubber water 💦
😅😂🤣🤪 Great Saturday and a wonderful ☺ peaceful, blessed weekend. Love 💟 and Light 🕯 Bine. 💫🐝
Thank you! Cheers!
Good ole soda! Like always, another great vid brother!
Thanks for the visit
About 6 months ago, I was working for the census to scrape up some extra cash for my CAS guns. One of the places I was assigned to was CIMA Road on the border of California and Nevada. In order to use the bathroom at their only gas station before heading home on the hour and a half long drive, you had to buy something and they had a great selection of old soda brands. Had one of my favorite, Henry Weinhardts Black Cherry soda, then a Sioux City Sarsaparilla, but my last time I was out there I bought a Moxie and expected to hate it. To my surprise, it has become my favorite soda. Much like Horehound and Black Licorice, I will regularly keep a few bottles of the stuff in my fridge because noone else will drink it and can't understand why I like it.
Thank you!
Being from Maine it is nice to hear about Moxie.
Cool!
I second that
Nothing like starting the day with a cup of Arbuckle's coffee and a new AZ Ghostriders video. And I'm still hoping to see a video on investing and stock markets in the old west!
I know ya are, Robert!🤠
Have the AZ Ghostriders done an episode on Arbuckle's Coffee yet? They're right here in Tucson, now.
@@HootOwl513 they did an episode on coffee, and did mention it.
@@robertbuckey6517 OK. Thanks.
Codd Wallop!!!!!
Col. Pemberton got wounded by a sword swipe at the Battle of Columbus trying to hold the bridge between Phoenix City and Columbus across the Chattahoochee. He became addicted to opium due to the pain. Coca Cola was to be a medicine for junkies.
Hey Santee, I think that house built out of 1880s-1890s Budweiser bottles is near you somewhere! AZ or NM, I forget. The Bottle House.
Oh, Barq's was established nearby in Biloxi. Edourd Barq also owned a car dealership in my town.
Cool info! Thank you!
I'm in constant nerve pain and also have a genetic heart defect that I had open heart surgery for when I was 32. I can see someone in the 1800s who had access to things like laudanum opium or morphine doing anything to stop the pain and then regretting the addiction. He probably unconsciously replaced his opiate addiction with the cocaine. Honestly if he could function and invent one of the largest selling products in human history......then you get ripped and do you. If you're smart enough to figure out what makes you run effectively and safely it is what it is. "Some people like a little caffeine in the morning...I like a little morphine"
@@j-rocd9507 It was really easy to get addicted to opiates before the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914.
It is still easy to get addicted to opiates now, the difference being, before 1914, you could buy and sell opiates legally and they were cheap.
Now, opiates are expensive and only harcore criminal drug dealers sell them, and we put addicts in prison.
The deluded idealists who gave us the 1914 law also gave us the Volstead Act. Those who want to tax cigarettes to discourage smoking were cut from the same mould.
@@justdustino1371 I'm 7 yrs off Heroin btw
@@j-rocd9507 Stay clean, bro! I have a family member who shot heroin and dilauadid from 1972 to 2012, 40 years! She has been clean since her last stint in prison for dealing.
You bring the Soda Pop, I got some dirty glasses in my Saloon! Great video Santee!
Deal! Thank you!
your vids are great. cant wait for the next one. im learning something new, seems everytime i watch.
Glad to hear it!
Santee that was instructive and funny. Thanks much.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice one, Santee. Was waiting for you to mention Moxie. Though no longer used, it's where the expression _"He's got Moxie."_ originated from. Among other things, it meant someone was full of energy, vim and vigor, guts, and a grab-life-by-the-horns attitude.
Fascinating story, the Moxie one!
Moxie is still popular and sold in New England as far as I know. A lot of the older generation still like it. I always thought it tasted horrible! German Fanta where it originated tastes different then American Fanta. Fanta was a creation of Nazi Germany.
They allegedly based a drink off of Moxie in a video game called Fallout 4. It's only found in the town of Far Harbor, based off of Bar Harbor, Maine, and it's called Vim. Pretty cool to hear about the real life drink it was inspired by
My first sarsaparilla was in Columbia, California. In the Sierra Foothills. Made right there in town. So good. Nice episode, Santee!
Interesting. Thanks for telling us.
Excellent video. In so many Westerns, you see cowboys saunter up to the bar to order a shot of whiskey. The fact is that cocktails were extremely popular in the Old West. Whiskey or Gin or whatever they had mixed with fruit juice, soda, milk, or just water, were far more popular than just a straight shot of rotgut.
When Wyatt Earp testified about making a deal with Ike Clanton, he said that they went out back while the bartender mixed their drinks. And a bartender was also called a mixologist.
Let's face it, even today, straight whiskey doesn't taste good. Not like tequila!
"straight whiskey doesn't taste good." I think we need to agree to disagree!! 🥃🥃
What a great way to start my Saturday morning! Thanks Santee and Dan.
Our pleasure!
Great video Santee. Good to see Dirty Dan. Back in the day I had a Doctor that would prescribe Coke syrup for upset stomachs. Would pick it up at the local pharmacy and it worked.
Good to know
Probably still had Cocaine in it, that's why you started feeling better.
"Im trying to educate you here"
"that's a lost cause"
🤠
Santee my 33rd bday was on Monday. I had a rooten tooten time!
Went out and shot guns 😀🤣 it was fun
So cool! Very fun.
Finally, after waiting for months, my patience has won out!
Now time to have some of my carbonated fix today.
Hope you enjoy!
I knew about the sasararas tea. My Grandmother (Who was born in 1897) used to have me finding the roots and making tea from them. The rest was news to me. Learn something new every day! Thanks, Santee! Oh and I like your fringed jacket. Very Cool! Compliments to Mrs. Santee on her modeling as well!
Interesting! Thanks!
Thank you so much for doing my video by the way!!! Blew me away!!!!
You're welcome.
WOW, this is really very interesting and informative. 👍🌞👏🥤
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely Buckskin jacket!
Thanks.
That was bubbly...tonic for the tummy!
Yes
Love the tasteful amount of info. in the videos, simply stated, and not long winded.
Glad you like them!
Hey santee, how about one about guitars in the old west
I did one on instruments.
That's some great stuff...the product & the episode 😉🎆. I wonder why fizzy coffee never caught on? That Dan's kind of an argumentative cuss ain'tee.
Yes he is....wait. Effervesant coffee? Hmmm...
Of course they had soda in the Old West. In the movies, the cowboy always walks into a saloon and orders a shot of whiskey. The reality is that then, as now, people liked cocktails. Bartenders were known as mixologists, and would mix the liquor with whatever they had on hand: water, milk, fruit juice, vegetable juice, and soda pop.
Great video, Santee!
Wine and gin were far more common than whiskey. I should do a "Myth Vs. Reality" on that.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yes, please
@@ArizonaGhostriders I know wine was popular, but I didn't know gin was. And how about my favorite, tequila?
Hi Santee, that covers soft drinks in the old west ! Thanks for lesson! You are a wonderful researcher the word that you have! Keep up the great work amigo and see ya down the trail....has always
So nice of you, Marco! Much appreciated.
@@ArizonaGhostriders No need just keep doing what you guys do best.
I love your vids so much thank you
You are so welcome!
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks
wow LOVE THAT JACKET SANTEE, graham in England
Thank you!
I'm rather fond of sarsaparilla myself but where I live it's..kinda hard to find sadly. Only one place has any, it's a family owned farmer's market that's been around for years..on the family's actual farm, they do hayrides in the fall. Anyway, they sell it by the four pack there..and those bottles are expensive, it's like 6 bucks for a four pack so I don't get it very often..and while I'll happily share any root beer bottles I have in the fridge with my friends when they are over for game night, the sarsaparilla are off limits 99% of the time unless I offer them one personally, if I don't, they know not to go after them..I drink one a month when I have them to make em' last when I actually get them. The farmer's market is a bit out of the way so I don't really get to get them that often even if I feel like spending the money on them.
It's something that is a treat to me. I can't do that much sugar all the time.
@@ArizonaGhostriders understandable, I'm actually looking into making homemade soda to control that kinda thing..you can do it with the same equipment used for home brewing, just really need a decent sized freezer or fridge to keep it cold and a good sized Co2 canister to add carbonation to it..that last one is what's throwing me cause while I can easily buy the Co2 can online..finding a place that will fill something beyond a 24oz can is the problem. Glenn and Friends Cooking shows off his setup for how they add carbonation to their water for all his homemade sodas.
I grew up drinking moxie it's my favorite soda ever. I get my parents to bring me cases of when they come down from Maine to Georgia. But luckily I just found out that cracker barrel sells it. I like it so much I even have a pocket beagle that's named moxie
I've yet to try it.
Sweet coat, Santee. Has a touch of that Buffalo Bill styling to make it unique.
And I'll take a sarsaparilla, in a dirty glass with a human hair floating in it.
YES!
Nice jacket santee
Thank you!
So while us modern Michiganders use vernors to help with stomach aches as a secondary use for the drink the creator actually designed it specifically for that purpose that’s pretty cool to hear
Vernors is tasty stuff!
Thanks Cheese !!! I actually got to try Moxie a couple of years ago at a friends house.. somebody still makes it and sells it on Amazon. It was a little bitter, but I liked it !!!!! (glass bottle and made from cane sugar if I remember right)
Hope you enjoy have yet to try it...
So Santee, what's up with the Soda/Pop divide, depending where in the US ya go?
Regional slang differences and demographics.
Soda, Coke (for all types of fizzy drinks), and Pop seem to be the most common variations.
Soda: Largely a West Coast, Southwest, and New England terminology
Pop: Midwestern states.
Coke: Some Southern states
You also had 'tonic' and 'soft drink' thrown around as well.
@@celston51 in England Pop, or occasionally Fizzy Pop, Soda is mostly reserved for plain unflavoured water ,used as a mixer. Also a term, though old fashioned for pawning something, as in the nursery ryhme Pop goes the Weaseal (A tailors pressing iron) However you can Pop out, somewhwere for a quick trip.Make the language work! :-)
It's is just a slang thing. In the south everything is lumped under "Coke". Using a generic name. Like "Kleenex" (instead of tissue).
I feel that ending especially cause I started getting into herbology
🤠
The fact that you mentioned earps's Sarsaparilla brought a smile to my face because this was my favorite drink as a kid
Cool!
Moxie, the only soda that makes you regret life...
HA!
There was another one called "Kickapoo Joy Juice. Kinda like Mountain Dew.
Hmmmm......Thanks!
Li'l Abner's favorite.
I always like your guys videos. It would be pretty funny and educational to do a video on swearing in the old west. It often happened, and if I could go back in time I would have a field day with the things those cowboys said. Just an idea.
Thank you. We have a lot of kids who watch and it would be a rough one to make.
True. But you could always edit it comedically. You guys are pretty good at that. And hey. I don’t mind waiting another 10 or more years.
Fun fact, at 4:47 Mrs. Santee is most likely pushing a little marble down in her bottle. There was this system of filling the bottle upside with a marble already in the bottle, after getting the bottle up again it would be pushed up by the pressure and keeping it there untill you pushed it down. This system was banned later because it could not be cleaned well enough.
She says that no marbles were harmed in the taking of that photo. However, that is great info!
I just love your history of the old west! And as aiways, another Great video! *belly up!*
Glad you enjoyed it!
"You said it came from Native American roots."
That's just stupid, he said.
HA!
Weren't the roots naturally growing in American soil?
All right boys money on me for root beer for everybody
Once described to me as 'Tasting Brown' ??????? We don't have it commonly in England.
🤠
Interesting. It was originally 'Root Tea' here.
My wife and I took our kids to Tombstone AZ a few years ago. The kids were looking at the sarsparilla and root beers in the little store, a couple of doors down from the Crystal Palace Saloon. I was standing at the register and my son says to me, "They have Doc Holliday in a can." Of course I replied, "Don't ya think someone oughta let him out?" My son missed the joke, but the cashier thought it was hilarious.
Tell him again in a few years. Prepare for him calling it a "Dad Joke", though. That's the term nowadays.....yeah. It hurts me too!
So happy that Vernors finally gets a nod!
🤠
I do love me some soda.
In England ask for Soda you'd be asked Backeing , washing or Caustic?' :-=) Over here called Pop, or Fizzy Pop.
I'll take a cup of caustic and a wedge of lime, please.
🤠
@@51WCDodge Yea, in Sweden it can also be the caustic stuff.... I would usually say "dricka" or "läsk" ... 😊
Can you do a episode on business cards in the old west.
Calling cards? Yes.
Another AMAZING video.. mind blowing as always!
Thank you so much 😀
Legend has it, that the 10-2-4 logo on the Dr. Pepper bottles was prescription times you were suppose to drink the stuff. Also when I was a professional archaeologist on Edwards AFB we were doing studies on the early homesteads located on the base. During one of our investigation we found a brown beer glass colored Coca Cola bottle dating back to around 1910, When we first found it, we originally thought it was a beer bottle but upon further investigation we found the words Coca Cola and date embossed at the heel.
That's true. Drink one at 10, 2, and 4. Buy it and drink it, dammit!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yeah, I liked to drink a Dr. Pepper at various times and being 68 yrs old I remember buying it in the old bottles.
MMMMMM, Dr. Pepper...
🤠
Sir,may you make a video on old wild western music.
❤🇮🇳
Did one!
This was cool info. Most probably cooler today than back then. Keep up the great work.
Cool, thanks
There's a retro soda and candy shop near me that I love going to. I always get some Moxie, some Cheerwine, a bottle of Sarsaparilla (1 liters even!), and a few Cherry Mash, as you can't find those anywhere anymore. Now, if I can just find me some actual Nuka Cola...
That is neat. Nuke Cola....Fallout.
The dialogues between you and Dirty Dan remind me of the conversations between Doc Adams and Festus on Gunsmoke
Yep
Lol so that's what happend in Shane. bill dumped the drink on ben Johnson,Shane was swinging at bill and hit chris lol it all makes since now
Yep, that's how it really happened!
@@ArizonaGhostriders so if that fight had never happened ryker would have never sent for that low down lying yank who in turn would have never shot poor ol stonewall. haha bill needs to tone back his hatred of lilacs it could save lives lol.
It really takes some moxie to make a video like this! Nice job as always Santee ... You are the real thing !
I appreciate that! LOL!
0:42 Beer goes so much farther back in time that it looks like people were making beer before they were making bread. Beer might be the third thing humanity learnt to make, right after fire and cooked meat.
Well, they had to chase that protein down with sumthin!
Gimme a sodee pop (hahaha)...I don’t think it’s nice you laughing.
HA!
Vernor’s Ginger Ale is delicious and it packs a punch of flavor
Yup
SPRUCE beer(fermented) was issued to Continental soldiers as part of their daily rations, as a source of vitamins and minerals
BTW, extracts of ginger, root, sarsparilla, and spruce are available from brewing suppliers for making the "beers" at home
I didn't know that they had home brewing supplies then. Cool.
Another great little video, and that scene with Dirty Dan at the end LOL... I actually did five weeks without drinking a drop of soda earlier this year, didn't even miss it.
Well, you are da man! I'm not sure I could...maybe.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I know I couldn't...
Thanks again Santee & Co. The peak of Sassafras Mountain is the highest point of elevation in South Carolina. We have our own native soda here in South Carolina , Blenheim Ginger Ale . It"s made from mineral water from a single spring discovered by a Patriot soldier while evading some Redcoats during the Revolution . It comes in regular , diet , and hot . The hot contains capsicum oil from chili peppers , and packs a punch . I could send you a mixed sixpack if you're game .
Oooo boy I'd like to try the hot!
@@ArizonaGhostriders How do I send you a package ? Do you have a PO Box ? I can throw in some Margaret Holmes Cajun boiled peanuts too .
@@victorwaddell6530 That's very kind of you! I have an email address in the "About" section. Contact me and I'll get it out to you.
I really remember getting to leave grade school one day a week to walk few blocks to the drug store and order a sloppy joe sandwich with a soda pulled from the fancy lever. Quite a treat for small town doings. Still like root beer
Cool!
Cute informative video unoffensive and obviously done with alot of love. I'm glad I got suggested this and I hope you get more success on your channel.
Thank you so much!!
That one really “popped”. Loved it
🤠 Thanks.
Great video Santee!!! Love how you used Shane. One of my all-time favourite movies.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well produced. Informative, Crazy as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
I like the info about the crown cap bottling process. Very interesting.
Glad you liked it!
I'm quite for of the occasional sarparilla, my grandma used to always joke "Diinking heavy tonight?" When I got one haha.
LOL!
+Hi Santee bit of a creaming soda flavor guy myself 🙂 actually really interesting hearing how it was First started and how it was first made for different things before becoming a tasty treat..one I really enjoyed was cherry coke it just nerve lasted here in new Zealand..your right there are so many to think of nowadays..seriously great research mate..the dislike comment makes me laugh still everytime..
Thanks, Izeak.
Excellent! Love the fringed jacket! Keep up the great videos Santee!
Thanks, you too!
I remember drinking Moxie when I was a 10 year old kid. First bottle I had I thought it was bitter - then I wanted another one. I think the formula changed. It seems sweeter and has less character than I remember.
Ahh, perhaps.
Nice! Thanks Santee. PS I love the buck skin jacket.👍
Thanks!
I wish I had found this channel a long time ago! Great Stuff you gotta fan for life. I love history especially western and Cowboy history they were some tough people in them days for sure.
Welcome aboard!
Root beer is always my number one favorite drink. And I had forgotten about hires root beer... But I would say A&W or Dad's is my favorite. Love Dr pepper and Coca-Cola not too much with Pepsi it's kind of sweet but thank you for sharing this who would have thought they had this kind of beverage in a saloon. 🌵🤠🍺
I have a video on mixed drinks that might interest you...
Moxie! The official state drink of my homestate of Maine. But it is definitely an "acquired taste" to say the least. My paternal grandfather, however, loved it and always had a case of it in the foyer of his house. I never acquired a taste for it.
Thanks! I'll try it one day.
Sometimes you can still get concentrated sassafrass in the grocery store. Mom used to make it for us on occasion. Nice jacket!
Thanks!
