Every summer, we make root beer floats with our exchange students. I always have them taste the root beer first, and have orange sodas available. Typically, they either love the root beer or hate it. Many of them have said it tastes like medicine or cough syrup.

Also I often have to tell them it’s soda, not beer. I had one student in particular who was horrified that we were putting ice cream in beer. And giving it to our children!
