Root Beer & Twinkies

11月

When I was a kid I used to read American comics like Spiderman, Batman & Superman. Sometimes in those comics there were ads for a kind of snack called `Twinkies`. However they weren`t (& still aren`t) sold in Australia, so I was really curious about them. What were they? Were they tasty? They looked tasty!

Similarly, when Snoopy drank something called `Root Beer`, I was really curious about it. What was it? Was it tasty? If Snoopy drinks it, it must taste great!

Finally, after so many years, I got to try these two things in Hawaii. Twinkies are just small sponge cakes with cream inside, & actually we have `root beer` in Australia, but it`s called `sarsaparilla` - in the end I had tried it but didn`t know it.

Visiting Hawaii was very educational.

Twinkies tasted okay, but nothing amazing. 

In the movie `Zombieland` - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1156398/ - one guy is determined throughout the movie to find a Twinkie. So I guess some Americans must love them.

I wish to try them!
So are Twinkies sponge cakes? Only sweet? No other taste?
And What taste is 'Root Beer'? I want to know it after watched a movie that had a scene which a boy drank a 'Root Beer' with his uncles. You must try it and tell me the taste, please.

Yes - sponge cake with cream inside - that`s all!

The flavour of root beer is hard to describe. Do you know licorice (a kind of black candy)? I think root beer tastes like licorice.
