To be honest, I'm not a real fan of root beer, or sarsaparilla as we Australians tend to call it, as the word "root" over here is a common slang term for f#ck:-)
But yeah, this was probably the best root beer I have tasted, not that I'd be buying it often at around $7 (Australian) a bottle, when I could buy a can of COKE for half the price.

And at about $16 for a Philly chesessteak I could go up the road and buy a SUBWAY Philly "STYLE" footlong for just over $17, which is what I did yesterday, so I could compare the two sandwiches.

Having said that I would rather pay less for some other SUBWAY sandwich than the SUBWAY Philly "STYLE" footlong.
But you live and learn ... hopePhilly;-)
I saw that today was also 'National Chianti Day', so I popped into my local bottle shop on the way home and bought a bottle to drink later in the evening, when my Philly chesessteak had settled in my stomach.
I don't think I had ever tried Chianti before, and while it was OK, I didn't think it was anything special, as far as wines go.

I guess I was just curious as to what it would taste like, after hearing it mentioned in the movie 'The Silence of the Lambs'.
But I am not so curious as to ever want to taste a human liver:-)
UPDATE: September 9th, 2026
I was sitting down at the Lions club having a beer and playing some keno today and contemplating what to have for lunch/dinner, and while scrolling through my phone saw that today (September 9th) was 'Wiener Schnitzel Day', and since I was thinking of getting SUBWAY on the way home, I thought I would try the Chicken Schnitzel Sub.

As for 'Wiener Schnitzel Day', I'm not into eating veal, so I'll let the Austrians celebrate that day, while I'll celebrate Chicken Schnitzel with the Australians today:-)
