In winter, why don't Canadians mix snow, rootbeer, and maple syrup into a drink?

Question

And you could eat it with a spoon. If the snow is very clean and powdery that is. And it would be healthier than ice cream.

Answer 1

probably because drinking snow would be like drinking rain water from the ground - full of bacteria and pollution... But maybe I am wrong - check with the Austrians - I hear they get snow too...

Answer 2

That's Retarded.  Are you American?  Anyway, snow isn't really clean, snowflakes form around dirt particles, and it would be acid snow too.  In the end, it's also probably not healthier than ice cream.

Answer 3

Natives have been making a candy out of snow and maple syrup for centuries now..........it makes a taffy like candy.....

root beer to the mix would be just gross

Answer 4

make that molson dry instead.

Answer 5

And then we could use it as a weapon against diabetics! BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :-P

Answer 6

i think its too cold to do that in the winter over there

but i would do it if i lived over there

Answer 7

The maple syrup on (clean) thicker snow is fine, but root beer? Why would you put that in there? Sounds awful - that's why we wouldn't do that.

Besides, powdery snow doesn't work well when you try to pour things on it - it just melts. You need good packing snow for that. As for healthier - well root beer and maple syrup are loaded with sugar - I don't think that would be that much better for you than ice cream.

Besides, we use the snow to keep our drinks cold during parties, saves on fridge space.

And never, ever eat the yellow snow.

Answer 8

it would be kife, very kife and i dont like rootbeer

Answer 9

to much sugar in a dose.



snow is no longer as clean as it use to be.  As the snow forms it collects dust from the air.  So when u eat freash fallen snow you are eating dust and pollution from the enviroment.

Yes I know to much info. when we grow up.  So maybe if it were 100 yrs ago I would say eat all the snow u want, but not now!

Answer 10

Doesn't sounds good.  I'll stick to beer.  You can put it in the snowbank to keep it cold.

Answer 11
