Developed in America during colonial times and evolving from traditional fermented herbal teas and low-alcohol "small beers," the frothy, sweet beverage we know as "root beer" is deeply ingrained in American history, with its timeline spanning from indigenous practices to modern bottled sodas!
🍺
The first marketed root beer was invented by Philadelphia pharmacist Charles Hires, who debuted his dry root tea mixture at the 1876 Centennial Exposition!
🍺
It's no surprise that root beer became even more popular during prohibition when many distilleries turned to making soda. In fact, Hires Root Beer - one of the most popular root beers ever - was sold here at Chili John's up to the point that it was sadly no longer available due to corporate consolidation by Hires' parent company.
🍺
We bring all of this up because today is National Root Beer Day and Chili John's currently has five different root beers (from three classic brands) for you to choose from - and none of them use high-fructose corn syrup!
🍺
Naturally, we think you should eventually try them all! (and discover your favorite!)

A 26-year-old Carolyn Jones pauses to refresh after filming Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much" playing Cindy Fontaine and Siegel's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" playing Theodora Belicec - and still years before we would all know her as Julie Rawlings or, most of all, Morticia Addams!

We've got the real thing here - made with pure cane sugar (instead of high-fructose corn syrup) but unlike Miss Jones, you will need to smoke your cigarette outside 😛
