Root Beer Soda 4pk, 12 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this Virgil's Root Beer 4-pack in the soda aisle or refrigerated grab-and-go cooler, pulled for picnics, movie nights, or backyard barbecues. It leans nostalgic and indulgent — very sweet, fizzy, and dessert-like — and the ingredient list (added natural flavors, caramel color, citric acid, and a mushroom extract preservative) and ready-to-drink format are characteristic of ultra-processed beverages, engineered for consistent taste and texture.

Common Questions about Root Beer Soda 4pk, 12 FZ
When it comes to Virgil's Root Beer, it's all about perspective. At 170 calories and 42 grams of sugar per can, it's certainly a sweet treat rather than a health food. If you're looking for a sugary indulgence to enjoy on occasion, this might fit the bill, but if you're trying to cut back on sugar, you might want to sip more cautiously.
