I remember the old A&W, friend! Just drive up and roll your window down, LOL. Order into the speaker and in no time flat, a car hop would SKATE to your car with your order and hang the tray of food on your window.

I remember it so well! Dad use to take us after church sometimes and even though I wasn't a teen yet I felt so big getting the teen burger! I love this picture! Hey Nanny go look at the old A&W menu! Awesome!

Loved seeing everyone's entry posts (and hp refs) the last couple of days, they made me laugh. I am excited to see who wins tomorrow, fingers crossed!

I want to take this chance to thank Kent and all the peeps at Nicoticket. Your website was the first I ever ordered juice from after coming home from my local vape shop with my new toy. My enjoyment of your amazing flavors was the biggest reason I stayed with vaping and never wanted to touch a stinky again. Cheers!

Just wondering about the Harry Potter references to this Butterbeer. I do not remember this from the movies, but have a vague tickle it might have been in the books. Anyone with a better memory than mine care to refresh me?
It's the name of a drink they always ordered at the Hog's Head :p
Yeah, I'm a nerd :D

Does one necessarily have to be a nerd in order to have watched/read Harry Potter? Hog's Head... that was the pub in the little village Harry could not get permission to go to?

OK, here's the "official" recipe:

BUTTERBEER

Start to finish: 1 hour (10 minutes active)
Servings: 4

1 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
6 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.

Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.
------------------------

However, I suspect the root beer version available here will vape better.

Yup. There's at least 3-4,000 books here... everything from hard science (astronomy, quantum physics, geology, electronics, etc.) to the wildest SciFi/Fantasy. At one point in my life, I was a technical writer/publications manager, so I even own about 50 different dictionaries (dictionary of scientific technology, words and phrase origins, Dictionary of the American West, not to mention Webster's and Oxford, etc., etc., ad nauseum). I don't do Facebook or any of that social media stuff (this forum is my first venture into spending way too much time online that is not research time), don't own a smartphone (not even a dumb cellphone), and the TV is only on as background noise, so there is usually a book somewhere close to me.
