Where can I get it?

I have no problem going to E-Mart, CostCo, etc., but if you've seen it somewhere FOR SURE, let me know so I don't have to run all over town.

I'm having a mad craving.

Peace,

Me too!

The only place I've seen it served is at a mexican restaurant in Itaewon (Poncho's), but that was a year or so ago.

I've never seen it sold.

Hadden House or Hannam Market should carry it.

The more important question is, does it cost 5,000 won a can ?????? Rolling Eyes

It's still a little bit cold to have a root beer float, isn't it?

I don't think there's much of a taste for it in Korea. While in America, I tried to get my Korean girlfriend to try rootbeer. She hated it with incredible passion. She said it tasted exactly like mouthwash.

I managed to get her to take a sip of rootbeer float, and she hated that, too. I was surprised, but it's something to file away in the brain so that I don't try to have a rootbeer float party as a reward for my students.

Sorry, but I don't have any constructive information to add. I just wish I could find a reliable supply of cheddar cheese without going to Seoul.

About a year and a half ago, when I had a terrible cold, I discovered that one of the medicines the ENT doctors here prescribe for that is a liquid that tastes just like A&W root beer. I guess if you grew up associating that taste with medicine and sickness, you'd probably hate it too.

I found some in the small Philippino grocery store in Itaewon a while ago.

15,900. I guess that's for a 6 pack, though it doesn't specify.

You will have to get out of your jammies. To get a 2nd job to afford anything on this site.

12 Dr Peppers at Costco were roughly 6000 won last year, before the exchange rate started to suck. I boycotted Costco since.
