Root 66 Diet Root Beer

I was beginning to get a little worried about the health effects of diet sodas . . . you know the cancer, weight-gain, kidney problems, cell damage and of course the addictive nature of the drink.  Thankfully, I had a “heart to heart” with my colleague, Professor Diet Coke and he assured me that all of these concerns are way overblown.  I can now do this review with a clean conscience.

As far as diet root beers go, this is actually a pretty decent one.  It has a good head, nice carbonation and is pretty creamy . . . just like the non-diet version.  Most of the flavoring in this beverage remains pretty consistent with the original Root 66 Root Beer.  Of course, it still has that diet after-taste, but it’s better than most.  Ed and Mari (another root beer web-site) give much shorter and to the point review.  They strongly disagreed with my assessment giving Root 66 Diet Root Beer a rating of “mega-barf.”  Well Root 66, bring on the barf . . . bring on the barf.
