Nobody is sure, but it has been around since at least the Middle Ages.
How much carbonation is in rootbeer?
Yes. Hence when you shake a can it explodes, or when you pour it from a fountain it fizzes.
How does root beer help plants grow?
Answer
The plants use the SUGAR in the Rootbeer, and any other soft drink, but the sugar can also promote bacterial/fungal growth, so stick with a proper commercial fertilizer like Miracle Gro.
Water makes plants grow - plants drink in the water through their roots, and use the water to make glucose. Then they eat the glucose and they grow. Plants do NOT use sugar is soft drinks, rootbeer or otherwise, they make their own sugar.

What is the chemical formula for root beer?
In order to find the chemical formula you would need to break down each individual ingredient chemical formula. That would be impossible.
How does root beer affect your teeth?
Alcohol is basically a kind of sugar, so any alcoholic drink will contribute to tooth decay if you don't brush your teeth.
EDIT: a dentist once told me beer is good for my teeth because of the minerals nad so forth. Premix drinks are really bad, so beer would be a preferred option if you were to drink
indeed a cats digestive system isnt as strong as ours. with all sodium in pop the bubbles will start a terrible infection in the cats pledeums. (pledeums: under , inner winkles of the cats stomach) which will bubble making the cats stomach burn making it orange and blue. if you have fed your cat rootbeer and nothing happened the answer is that the infection wasnt to bad at the time but adventually the cat will have intestanal problems.
Where can you buy Dorothy molter root beer?
The only place I know of is at the Dorothy Molter museum in Ely, MN or online from the museum. When I was up in Ely this summer, the women at the museum thought you might be able to purchase this wonderful root beer at Byerly's or Lund's. However, I have checked out Byerly's and they do NOT carry it anymore.
The only problem with ordering it online is it is VERY EXPENSIVE to ship. I believe with buying a case of root beer and shipping it comes to about $55.00!
It is the BEST root beer I have ever tasted, but I cannot get myself to shell out that much money for it.
Yeah I have two house mice I captured and feed them beer all the time, they love it and it doesnt seem to negatively affect them. I have also given them vodka which they also consume voluntarily and seem to enjoy it.
What is the difference between Dr Pepper and Root Beer?
Dr Pepper has a very distinctive taste that cannot really be described as a root beer, though it is sort of a cross between a cola and a root beer. Honestly the only way to answer your question is for you to taste the two yourself.
How much sugar is in root beer soda?
There are approximately 13 or 16 grams of sugar in rootbeer, but this varies with the types of rootbeer.
What is the effect of Gatorade on teeth?
Nothing, Gatoraid is simply electilites (salts) that you need to sweat. Soduim and Calcium should have no deleterious effect. As for the coloring, I supose if you drank enough you could turn your teeth what ever color it is. Over a period of time the sugar in Gatorade can cause harm to teeth, but sugar in anything could do that. My dentist told me when I had a tiny bit of tooth decay and to stay away from breads because of the sugar. Of course I told him where he could go and left. Gatorade does cause damage to the teeth. In recent dental studies, it was found to be more damaging to teeth then soda pop. The reason is it has a very low pH (about that of your stomach acid), and the acid breaks down the protective bone-like layer on your teeth, enamel. In addition it contains sugar, which worsens the damaging process. Gatorade is primarily made of dicrybondinate, a substance commonly found in the northern reaches of Venezuela. Dicrybondinate can react harmfully with simple compound substances such as sugar, water, or even protein. However, if you filter the dicrybondinate through the Gregor Barov process of nextular conditioning, you can reduce the chances of contracting Ymdrassil condition, which might affect one in his or her early 60s if untreated. The condition is much like AIDs in that it takes on an early, unnoticable form called Ymdrassil Vestra. Gatorade can cause Ymdrassil Vestra if consumed on a skeletal formulaic ratio of 6:1:7:8 (Assuming you take this ratio daily.) Another way to diminish the effects of dicrybondinate in Gatorade is to heat the phernongular crystals in the ionic modular postitron sphere field of the dicrybondinate. You must heat it to a level of 98 Kelvin, however, which will be almost impossible to achieve when not on Red Heta VIII, an uninhabited, unterraformed, and currently unnamed planet in the Zel Hibendra galaxy. This however is where my brain is, thus proving i have it not with me.
No. Root beer was once known as "sarsaparilla". Or 'sassyfrass'.
What is the root that flavors root beer?
Originally, root beer was beer made from roots. But they changed it to pop. I guess they liked the name and haven't changed it since.
Root beer is made from an extract of sarsaparilla roottraditionally and good quality root beers still are. To reduce costs some substitute artificial flavors for part or all of this extract or use extracts from other less expensive roots.
Before they thought of adding carbonation, the drink was called Root tea. The first carbonated root beers were partially fermented to get the carbonation and so were true alcoholic beers! You can still find homemade root beer recipes using fermentation on packages of the extract.
Acute benefits are pretty much none - some decreased social inhibitions (not necessarily a good thing) and some people have feelings of euphoria or happiness. Acute bad effects can include vomiting, dehydration, depressed and insufficient central thinking including critical thinking and logical decision making, and possible alcohol poisoning which can lead to death.
There are no known chronic benefits for excessive alcohol consumption - drinking in moderation can have some protective effects against heart disease, but the quantities are one drink or less per day.
Chronic sequelae can include liver failure, mental illness including depression, increased risk of heart attack and stroke and increased risk for traumatic injury and death.
i think its because its fermented just like beer is but root beer doesn't have alcohol
It originated from the chikoree root and was stored in barrels the same way beer was stored it did ferment a little for the sugar to settle but would sour quickly if untouched and back then it wasnt carbonated like it is today.
Does root beer have alcohol in it?
No, despite the name root beer does not have any alcoholic beverages in it.
Tin reproductions of this Ted's Root Beer sign are very common, and are available for $10. - $15. each. The tin signs are not being sold as original, only as a reproduction fantasy piece. When trying to find the value of the original sign I found the tin sign listed, and it only noted that the original sign is very rare. No price was given. If the sign you have is tin it is most likely a reproduction.
The only original sign I have ever come across was painted on wood. It was a large sign that was an advertising display at Fenway park. There have been large number of fake Ted's Root beer signs circulating on eBay for years. The sign has a 1952 copyright. Problem is Ted Williams did not signed on with Moxie corparation, maker of Ted's Root Beer, until December of 1957.
In 1952 Ted Williams was not promoting Root Beer. After six games in 1952 Williams was called up to active duty in the Korean War. Williams a pilot flew combat missions over Korea. Hit by small-arms fire during one run, Williams crash-landed his crippled jet and escaped from the flaming wreckage as he said "Faster than Mickey Mantle" He returned after 39 missions in 1953.
