Very salty, but palatable at the time. It went well (at the time!) with root beer of dubious quality.

Man, I can't wait until I can drink carbonated beverages again. I am currently prohibited on account of the cement used to hold my braces to my teeth. I don't even drink that much soda as a rule, but right now I really miss ginger and root beer.

Obstacles: cow milk (casein), wheat.

Fair enough!
