The poor man's Mountain Dew is still available. The Fudrucker's in our area recently switched from Pepsi to Coca Cola and I had to make dew with Mellow Yellow instead.

Nope.

You can't actually get ANY root beer in England easily/cheaply.

You can get various brands of crap that are called root beer but are terrible. Sainsbury's sells Carters which is foul and tastes of artificial sweetener. Various places sell Bundaberg from Australia, which calls itself root beer. Whilst being a nice drink ...root beer it isn't.

In the 80's Mc Donalds sold it, but stopped due to lack of demand. IBC was available in the 90's for a while, but was withdrawn.

For root beer junkies, the closest we can get to a fix is Euthymol smokers toothpaste (I am not a smoker, so finding this was a miracle) which tastes quite like Barq's.

You live in Europe and you miss Hershey's??????  Hershey's "chocolate" contains less than 5% cocoa.  I'm not kidding.  You have such an abundance of wonderful chocolate everywhere you go there (at least on the continent . . . I've never been to England, but I can't imagine it's much different on the chocolate front considering it's part of the EU).

Being in America I miss a lot of European goods, particularly French stuff, but I've been dying without a certain danish salt licorice for the past couple years.  I recently have had news that I might get another sample of that soon.  My fingers are crossed!
