Andy – The last time I got a bunch of free drinks, I threw up behind the university’s baseball stadium.

James – I too must cut down on the sugar and HFCS.

Bryan – DO IT!!! Or else I’ll make you wear Jammers!

K – Did you have AT&T?

Andy – Now remember, don’t drink one every day and recycle the bottles.

Ahhh…well, damn. This stuff is good. I don’t even like root beer, but.. damn. Not only that, but they got those 32 ounce bottles at the dollar store.. for.. well, a dollar. And I’ll have a bit extra for it now, 2.2% pay increase across the board for 2007! Woo!

Hey, that’s good stuff there, the review and the drink. I used to love root beer, especially A&W, but that’s ’cause at one time i was really into ampersands.

Saw this at Big Lots (the old Pic ‘n’ Save) for $1 not long ago, bought one for my dad for his birthday back in August.

Very true IBCs root beer is better then Barq’s/A&Ws although i am addicted to A&Ws cream soda. I really must cut down too much sugar.

Heh, I suppose ya got me there. But I mean, it’s hard to resist some times.. Like, last weekend I went out with some of the guys from my Battalion, everyone was buying us drinks.. That uniform is like magic sometimes. How can you refuse free drinks… I think we only ended up paying for the appetizers.

Domokun – It would be a real shame if I had a matching acid washed jacket.

jenn – IBC stands for Independent Breweries Company. Oh, I remember this girl who always came into class with the Hypercolor hand prints on her boobs. I don’t know if she made them herself, but she was a skank, so probably not.

Andy – I’m sure you like the stuff without the “root” part.

Genny – As long as you don’t remember guys rolling cigarette boxes in their sleeves, it’s all good.

You know, I’ve never liked root beer. Then again, my family has a proud history of running a speak easy, so it’s not likely I’d go in for any sort of alcoholic “substitute” under any circumstances. Still, funny review, and so informative! It’s like a history lesson, only more fun and painful for those of us who remember the time period in question.

ah marvo, you brought me back to a better time, a more innocent, youthful time. i still have my hypercolor shirt, but it doesn’t “work” anymore.

what does IBC stand for?

Are they acid washed shortalls? Now, that’d be real shame.

Agree with you on your review–there are better root beers, but IBC is still better than the Barq’s/A&Ws (although A&W does make that kick ass cream soda).

Webmiztris – If this were real alcoholic beer, I think the slogan should be changed to “IBC Drowns Away Memories…Temporarily.”

Brie – I could open doors for women and that would be sexy, but the rest of me still wouldn’t.

Tickkid – I wanted a pair of those, but my mom thought they were stupid.

cybele – IBC stand for Independent Breweries Company. Or we could make up what it stands for. I’d like to suggest Irregular Booty Corporation.

Toni – A&W on tap from their restaurants is pretty good. Anyway, in high school I used to wear THREE Swatch watches on one arm.

Barb – I think Breyers makes root beer float flavored ice cream. Also, yes we do have cows here. Hawaii has one of the oldest ranches in the United States.

skibs – If only I could get my hands on paper bags, since I only get plastic at the grocery store.

Chuck – I dunno about diet IBC. Anything with the word “diet” in it scares me. Although anything with the word “habanero” or “jalapeno” in it doesn’t scare me.

L’il E – Alligator boots!!! That would rock!!!

melanie – I don’t know what slouch socks are. I don’t think that trend made the trip to this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I think it died along the way.

Mir – Me wearing acid washed clothes in high school might explain the lack of girls back then, or it could’ve been my pocket protector.

DaDead – If you just want to imagine me wearing an afro, just grab a Q-Tip and a black marker. Then color one side of the Q-Tip black with the marker and that’s basically what I look like with an afro wig.

wow, you can go cow tipping on the rock in the middle of the ocean?
i wish they would make root beer ice cream, like they made coffee ice cream. that would rock.

The cool thing about IBC is that whenever you buy them in restaurants, they give it to you in a bottle, unlike other root beers like A&W and Barq’s, which just come from the soda fountains. The uncool thing is that you can’t get free refills of IBC since it’s ya know, special root beer.

Ah, 80s gear. I personally had the LA Gears with 3 different colored laces (mine was mint green, pink, and white), and you could use all three at the same time by braiding and weaving them on your shoes.
