You do realise that most of us don't have a clue what you're talking about ? 
Sweets are things like boilings, pan drops, sherbet lemons, soor plooms, cinnamon balls....not what looks like a cream topped coke thing
Dandelion and Burdock's quite good though

Putting ice cream in fizzy pop has never been anything like as popular here as in your neck of the woods, s2k.
Of course if we're going there then I'd also like a side of pancakes with ice-cream maple syrup and chocolate sauce
That combination is beyond sickeningly sweet 
Irn bru poured over a scoop of ice cream.....and the hasty sooking through a straw though, was a very occasional childhood Summer time treat. A frothy mess if you got it wrong

What can I say, though I'm normally a savoury (pasty, sausage roll, pie) over a sweet person, sometimes you've just got to go all in

Another favourite that our american cousins introduced me to at this time of year is something called "divinity" - a bit like a soft white nougat, absolutely yummm!
Sorry if I derailed the thread a bit

.I tried Root Beer once, I thought it tasted like antiseptic
Yup, tastes like "TCP" its not that bad, mcDonalds used to sell it. Decades ago. Yer not missing anything. I like it though.
For anyone interested in trying it, Chinese wholesalers often sell it (no idea why) and though not A&W you can buy glass bottles in Tesco at the moment in the world food aisle
Talking of the world food aisle.... there are some gems to be found in the Indian and Caribbean stuff in there
Kg bags of almonds, of cashew nuts, for £7 for instance, and the Polish raspberry version of Ribena's good too.

I can't say I've tried root beer, but I have tried Irn Bru, and to be honest root beer can't be any worse than that.
It's better in Scotland. Seriously it is. We tried it in Wales with stuff bought from the Tesco in Bridgend and it wasn't good.
I don't know what they do to it, but up here there's no bubblegum flavour to it.

I tried it in Scotland. I lived there for three years. First time I thought maybe I had a dodgy batch, but other folk told me no, it always tastes like that. Haven't tried it since.
By the way, you always bite when I say I don't like Irn Bru.
Mmmmm... Root Beer, one of my favourite drinks from my youth
I really miss not having somewhere over here to get it without paying over the odds. I did find one online supplier for all sorts of sodas but A&W Root beer was about £1.25 a can
