IBC Root Beer 12 fl. oz., 24 pk.

Why Is It Called "Root Beer?"

The answer lies deep in the history of the root beer flavor. Many food historians think it's likely that the first versions of root beer began as "small beer," a drink brewed from herbs, bark and berries. Historians believe that root beer was created by accident in a pharmacy experimenting with the ingredients used in small beer recipes. The original "root beer" was sold as a syrup for people to water down into a kind of cordial, but with very little of what we know as root beer flavor.

Is IBC Root Beer Made With Real Sugar?

For more than 25 years, major soft drink companies have been using high fructose corn syrup as sweeteners in their drinks. The switch from cane sugar happened during the 1980s. Recently, companies have been reintroducing classic flavors made with sugar, because reviewers suggest that high fructose corn syrup doesn't taste as good as real sugar. The IBC Made with Sugar Variety Pack is, of course, made with real sugar for a better experience.
