Wintergreen is one of three flavours combined to yield the "classic" pink
bubble gum flavour. The other two are cassia and vanilla.

Wintergreen is/was also used in root beer. Some years ago I spent a
lot of time searching for 'authentic' root beer recipes... what a
minefield that turned out to be, I don't think I saw any two
'authentic' recipes that were the same In the end, I finally found
an extract with the right kind of ingredients (not easy, due to the
'toxic' ingredients) and brewed from that.
Came out wonderful, perfect. I still have half a bottle of that
extract, I should make some more soon.

To Brits, wintergreen is associated with a particularly smelly
embrocation that was commonly used to relieve aches and rheumatic pains.
Therefore, to me, root beer is vile!!

That's a point - 'wintergreen' is a name used for many different
plants, so care is required with that.

>Therefore, to me, root beer is vile!!

Not me, I love a /good/ root beer, or Sarsaparilla, as it is better
known in Australia. Oh, and a decent ginger beer too.

That said, I don't like any sodas at all (I wouldn't class a root or
ginger beer as a soda myself).
