Today, I tasted Root Beer for the first time in my life.

Being Finnish, I don't really have room to talk (I eat salmiakki and mämmi, after all) but is this stuff seriously as popular in America as popular culture would have me believe? It tastes plain weird to me.

Eh, it's reasonably popular. I like it.

Question~

Oh, oh. I can't help you with root beer, never had any, but I do have one question about salmiakki. Could you link me to a picture of TRUE Finnish salmiakki?
... because if it turns out to be the same stuff as Salmiak, then I don't understand why it's made out to be so horrible in Hetalia. :|a I adore salmiak licorice and salmiak candy, for example, but maybe Finnish salmiakki is different/stronger by many levels?

The question is, do you really want to believe anything American popular culture would have you believe?

And, if you don't like root beer, I suggest avoiding Dr. Pepper, too, if it ever comes up. The tastes are similar, I've found.
