This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Root beer was just an example of what hoomans like that seems bizarre to other species. If we're talking DS9 I'd say the go-to drink was all the caffeinated raktajino everyone was pounding

Honorable mention to Tarkalean tea

What about my comment implied I didn't realize that? Anyways, Raktajino was also consumed a lot on Voyager. Its strange that Quark focused on Root Beer in light of all the other stuff people drink, other than, hey, this is the only carbonated thing they drink that's not caffinated or alcoholic ... but that wouldn't be true either?

He did say "Starfleet" drink a lot of it, not "humans", so maybe it is just that pupular with Vulcans, Andorians, Tellerites, etc.
