And most Finns have never heard of it. Such a shame.
There are two stores that sell a boatload (near literally) of American imports:
Behnford's, a small kiosky little shop near Helsinki's main shopping area (also the "dangerous part", such a hoot)
Verkkokaupa, literally translated as web-store, but it is a physical shop near where the cruise ships dock. It is a technology store, but also sells really cheap soda in bulk, as well "artisanal sodas" by the bottle, and rather cheap as well- cheaper than if I bought a simply a coke from any other store. Actually, thinking about it, cheaper than back home too.
So anyways, I was at Verkkokaupa with my friend Antton last night, and I saw the Rootbeer and Cream Soda- let's face it, there was no way I wasn't going buy some soda. The Cream Soda of course was delicious- pure sugarwater. But the Rootbeer I saved for my host family, so they could try it. My friend Antton bought some Rootbeer as well, and went crazy with it:
My host family had a different reaction: Aapo thought it was decent (enough to drink most if it), Timo had had it before, and Tommi thought it tasted like cough syrup.
