Well, I'm not American, but I get the question. Root beer isn't really bad in small doses, but it's certainly an acquired taste. I don't know a single person that drinks root beer/cream soda/crush etc etc on a regular basis. For myself, I'll have a rootbeer like, once a year, if that and sometimes I'll go years without it because it doesn't even cross my mind. At the end of the day, it's fizzy and sweet which checks off the important boxes for most people and they'll be willing to drink it, if it's the only choice. The only exception to that is probably A&W, that's their signature drink and it's very mid. I've drank way worse shit than fucking root beer though, lemme tell ya. Try RC Cola and you'll be begging for some Barq's.
