Worse Than Its Bites

You should totally bring some Barq's Rootbeer.

Is this a commodity in short supply, or something? Or a tithe, perhaps?

Prepare to be shocked...that beverage is UNAVALIABLE in the whole of North Carolina.

Except at Red Robin (although perhaps even there, they've stopped serving it).

Well, I guess I'll import some into the state, and make a tidy profit. I mean, give it to people I know that want it.

During the Rootbeer Prohibition, one man stood up and said, "I SHALL PROFIT."

Yes, yes, now that we've Number 23'ed the damn soda, it is, in fact, EVERYWHERE. Wendy's in Durham, Wendy's in Chapel Hill, Amante's Pizza, the Dollar Store, Jo-Ann's Fabric and the PTA Thrift Shop (only the Carrboro store). Nobody doesn't serve Barq's Root Beer, it springs unbidden from a fountain at Weaver Street, and it has been named Official Soda of the Triangle by the Barq's Council, located conveniently just around the corner from my apartment. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to bring this plucky carbonated beverage to the forefront of our collective consciousness and thus to the forefront of the burgeoning Southern market.
Next up: "Hey, why doesn't anyplace sell Dunkaroos again yet? I hate how they haven't reached 'retro-due-for-relaunch' status yet."
...Ahem.
