A rhetorical question... the article mentions this five or six times when it probably only needs to be mentioned once or twice. Stub Mandrel ( talk) 23:06, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
This article says Yucca and yuca are used for foaming but like, both Yucca and cassava/yuca are different so this article needs to be consistent on that. One of them is wrong I guess it's either one or the other 2806:2F0:6120:853C:D5E6:A74F:E3B8:793B ( talk) 12:07, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Change "Root beer is a sweet North American soft drink traditionally made using the root bark of the sassafras tree" to " Root beer is a sweet North American soft drink traditionally made using the root and bark of the sassafras tree" This is because 1) It is unsourced that they use specifically the outer bark of the root and 2) It is sourced how they use the root AND bark of the sassafras tree, and one can see how the mistake of "root bark" can be made. 3) looking at recipes online for root beer using actual bark, they all state to use the whole root, not just the bark of the root.

Root beer looks to be a regional variety of Sarsaparilla and should probably be merged. A subsection detailing the flavourings and adulterants used in USA formulations can be made. Kommando ( talk) 12:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
The article mentions the common ingredients but doesn't really provide information on how root beer is manufactured nowadays. Does it undergo a brewing / fermentation process like normal beer or is it prepared like other soft drinks, i.e. by simply mixing water, sugar and flavors. -- 2001:871:22B:9A5E:111:2A2D:7D23:C2DE ( talk) 23:49, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
