Mug Root Beer 355 ml (Pack of 12)

Product Information

This root beer is rich in cane sugar, vanilla, licorice, and wintergreen. The company brews lots of other flavors, both traditional and contemporary. But root beer is their flagship drink. It’s a light, heavily malted beverage that’s syrupy in texture. It tastes a lot like root beer barrel candy and is super sweet so it may be overpowering in a root beer float. Or they can be diet drinks with zero calories and no added sugar. This root beer was originally Frank Stewart’s side hustle. He was a schoolteacher and started brewing in 1924. The secret recipe for this 150-calorie root beer includes extracts of quillaia, yucca, and acacia gum. It’s brewed with cane sugar and distributed by Keurig so soda fountains often have it.

On January 26th, 2022, @mugenjoyer posted an original 25-second song recorded in his usual low-quality mic to TikTok [2] titled "Mug Blooded American" (shown below). The video features lyrics about how patriotic Mug is, implying it's a cure for epilepsy and an alternative to the COVID-19 vaccine. The video gained over 414,000 views in just over two months. It also announces itself as containing GMOs. The ‘coffee’ bit is probably why ‘Barq has Bite’ as their punny slogan implies. The drink was originally brewed by Edward Barq in 1898 and has 160 calories (44g sugar and 44g carbs to make 16%). The diet version has zero calories. So, as Edward once said (and later emblazoned on the bottle), “Drink Barq’s. It’s Good.”The Original Sound for "Mug Blooded American" became further popularized on TikTok in late February throughout early March 2022 as TikTokers began making ironic memes about the drink, often playing off the themes from the song including patriotism and prior Mug Moment memes. On February 24th, TikToker @rsmith694 posted a video showing himself on water vs. Mug, gaining over 158,000 views in a week (shown below).

[5] In the 1950s, the soda took on the title Belfast Old Fashioned Mug Root Beer before its name was eventually shortened to Mug Root Beer. [3] Some of the most prominent soft drinks in the world are Coke, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper. These dark colas — and their diet versions — contain caffeine. While most root beers (and their diet versions) are caffeine-free, Barq’s regular root beer contains caffeine — though its diet spin-off does not. Given today’s dieting craze, Virgil’s Zero Sugar line of sodas is pretty popular. So yes, they do sell a calorie-free root beer. But today, we’re more interested in their sweetened version. It’s brewed with ‘fifteen roots and spices’. The diet version may not have added sugar, but it’s naturally flavored with stevia, erythritol, and monk fruit so it’s sufficiently palatable.
