Rule

I love root beer, but not Mug. That stuff is awful.

It's insidious!

But that much root beer would raise the sea level! Then again it would make the sea near europe mildly root beer flavored for a while...

Asking the real questions here

He saved the world. He somehow made a truly infinite renewable resource and we used it for energy, water, and growing crops.

Which is what I'd like people to say about me, but their hitmen are after me. They know my gift would not even ruin them, but even that small threat to a loss of profit is too much for them.

I'm on the run, but wherever I go, I try to help those in need of a crisp refreshing beverage. They can't root me out, you beerter believe it.

Coming this summer: Mug Shot

Could you push people in the pirtal?

Day 982. I have accepted my fate. I will never escape the Mug dimension. I drink another root beer. It tastes like blood. I'm glad for the new sensation.

Hammer space rules apply.

I’m having a mug moment.

Sounds very funny to English ears, as it happens.

Hella mug Moment, bruh

I mean, only England seems to be highlighted. I don't know mug, I don't know if I've ever tried root beer, I don't think I'd miss it.

Still, there are some nice things I like from England - Games Workshop, for instance, some Internet buddies, probably more things I'm not aware of...

I guess I could find people that enjoy root beer (or are in dire need of potable hydration of any sort) and see about donating it to them. I could sell some through local retailers and restaurants to cover the expenses.

Root beer is alcohol free.

I use arch btw.

It's like a sweetened, fizzy sassafras drink. Pretty good depending where you get it.

The USA has a weird thing where we use the words for alcoholic drinks to describe non-alcoholic ones. We also call spiced fruit drinks "cider" and actual cider "hard cider". Not sure why.

Trivium found on Wikipedia:

The guy that commercialised it was a teetotaller and wanted it to be called Root Tea, but because his target market were miners in Pennsylvania, he opted to call it Root Beer instead.

From my understanding, that title would be more accurate too, as it is produced from molasses with extract rather than grain mash, but my source is "skimmed Wikipedia" on both topics, so you should probably default to skepticism.

Either way, it apparently doesn't taste like beer, comes in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic* variants, usually doesn't contain caffeine and has a ton of flavours and variants from all over the world. If you care, you probably can find some.

*The process does involve fermentation, so I assume it will contain some ethanol still, even if it's below the threshold for the "non-alcoholic" label, in case that's an issue for you.

Rowling lives in Scotland though

It's the rootbeer isn't it?

How dare they hold Hbomberguy hostage.

Then it's too easy a decision!

This could also just be an implication of a name change. So "England" is no more, but it's now called "Angland."

One could interpret it as all the localities with their own distinct cultures are freed from the yolk of the Bri'ish crown. Tolkien loved England but hated the Bri'ish empire as an example.

Acceptable casualties

and a small part of france, but not scotland

While I normally don't give the Brits much credit, gotta say NI is not being held in the UK against its collective will. Your imagined cruel English oppressor holding on to land by force, opposing the will of the local population, is out of date in the 21st century.

Almost all Brit politicians would love to be the PM at the time of Irish unification.

Since 1998, the NI Secretary is obliged by treaty to carry out a referendum for unification as soon as polling indicates there's a reasonable chance it would get a yes majority.

It just hasn't happened yet. It probably will, within a few decades.

But do you like England even less?

You could always start a root beer stand or something and sell the unlimited root beer with no overhead.

Valid

It says “MUG root beer”

Isn't the choice between removing england or getting the soda? You can have your England and drink it too.
