IBC, Mug, Barq's, and Dad's are the major brands I know of.

IBC being best of course, followed by Barq's.

I first knew about 4th July celebration from movie about aliens attack.

This movie is called independence day. Which if I remember correctly is an exceptionally awesome movie. Unrealistic - but awesome.

Realistic Alien invasion movie would be awfully dull and short

Just having a few drinks here, it being a Saturday night in the UK, so I'll gladly toast our cousins across the Atlantic

Still can't forgive you for Anne Coulter or Jar Jar Binks, though

And one final question America. You are the only country that writes dates as Month/Day/Year!!!

Everybody, and I mean everybody, does Day/Month Year!!

Why do you do this? Why? It's so annoying!! Why?

WHYYYYYYYYY?

In the meidcal feild we write the date like this. 04-Jul-2015. It is very confusing to then have to deal with it the other way around everywhere else...The again - it's not really about making sense - it's about being different. Cause MERICA is SPECIAL.

I thought oblivion was pretty good - more realistic - even believable.

America, I have one thing to say to you about root beer.

(adopts Irish accent)

If you let it go now, that'll be the end of it. But if you don't, I will hunt you down, I will find you, and I will kill you.

I do this for a living

**Hordini**

I take it you're not a fan?

**Sinful Hero**

What's wrong with rootbeer?

Root Beer is not beer. I would bow to British beer dominance.

But root beer? As a Southerner and a Texan I mean this with all respect.

off!

Did obisidianaura drink sasparilla? That tastes a bit cough mediciney.

I would give you some reasons, but the mods would probably ban me for life for excessive use of foul and abusive language

Has anyone else tried "Not Your Father's Root Beer" yet? It's root beer, that is actual beer.

And I agree with my fellow Americans. Root beer isn't supposed to taste like cough syrup. What brand were you drinking, obsidianaura?

Not personally but my brother in law did and he said it was pretty good. Id trust him personally, the dude has probably drank every type of beer known to man lol

**Sinful Hero**

Virgil's makes a decent root beer as well, now that I remember.

I thought it was pretty tasty, and tastes just like root beer. It's the only kind of root beer that is actually beer!

Liam Neeson wouldn't say that. He wouldn't use his best lines on tea destroying heretics. There is no point trying to teach Americans about beverages.

Or anything for that matter. We use time stamps wrong, we use standard instead of metric, we have no clue what you actually mean by biscuit. Hell even your humor escapes us
