Root Beer Barrels memories... I
remember when I was ten years old and I played school baseball. Before
every game I would always put a root beer barrel in my mouth and chew
it up and the flavor would be in my mouth throughout the game. I felt
it gave me the extra push to give 110%.
We only lost one game in our
league but that was the day I woke up tired and forgot my root beer
barrel. I still don’t know if it was because they were a better team
or because I broke game tradition. I really believe the root beer
barrels held that much of a significance but that’s just me. Right
after the games I would get a root beer barrel as soon as I walked
inside my house.
I stop that tradition as soon
as I stopped baseball. But 7 years later to this day I started eating
them after meals and just savored the great flavor, which I thought
was the greatest candy of all time. This just proves to me that I can
never grow out of the traditional root beer barrels. ~ Ross from

In
1973, I was in the 2nd grade and very behind in my math skills. My
teacher, Miss Johnsen, would spend extra time and work with me on math
problems during recess. After several months of working with me, she
added an incentive-Root Beer Barrels. I thought they were the best
candy I'd ever tasted. So I worked really hard on my math and soon
became really good; getting all of my assignments turned in and
passing my tests. Every time I got an A on my tests, I would get a
root beer barrel and would be happy and proud the rest of the day.
Later on in high school and college, I realized math was my favorite
subject. I believe it was her patience and the root beer barrels that
contributed to that. ~ Tracie from Utah
