115* ROOT^BEER

Kenny's favorite root^beer

``````` RANDOM TOPIC````````
 ----------{ ROOT ^BEER }----------

Kenny wasn't one who like a lot of soda. In fact, no one in our family is--we tend to only buy soda for parties or get togethers. The one soda Kenny always chose was root beer. He liked it from a young age and he rarely drank any other kind of soda. Most of the time we would buy Mug's or A&W in 2ltr. bottles. Until he became a teen that is-] during his mid-teens Kenny decided he wanted to buy root beer in bottles for his birthday. I think at the time, the idea of  it being like real beer was appealing. I remember the first bottled root beer he bought was Barq's, the drink he chose most often since early teens. Eventually, he stopped drinking it because of the caffeine content, he got it into his mind that drinking caffeine was bad so he quit drinking Barq's; he didn't drink coffee or tea either> such an oddity in my opinion. But, yea-]that's one of those things that made him special to me. The following birthday Kenny wanted to try a new root beer in a bottle so we bought IBC. He liked it a lot and continued to buy it for years. On his dresser he has two empty bottles with his 'Mickey' hands on them. The following birthday he wanted to buy bottles of root beer he had never tried before. So we got Stewart's, DAD'S old fashioned, and he stuck with IBC because he knew he would like it. Then he began trying other brands just for the fun of it and he discovered a new favorite. It was Henry Weinhard's- he liked it so much that he kept an empty bottle in his room till the day he died. I put the hand back scratcher in it, but he just kept the empty bottle. I think it was during his sampling of different root beers faze that he began collecting bottle caps. I guess many things about Kenny kind of all come together.

Until tomorrow...
