This review is from: I, B.C. (Mass Market Paperback)

This frank, sometimes too candid account of the rise of the Interstate Beverage Company and its iron grip on the root beer industry should be on the shelf of every red-blooded American. Especially disturbing is the chapter explaining where, exactly, the "cream" in cream soda comes from. If you're wondering why you haven't seen A&W or Hires on your grocery store shelves recently, look no further.
