I guess everyone is out to lunch.
Eating lunch at the desk today myself.
I do that every day. I much prefer it.
I used to work in a darkroom, but I'd never eat in there due to the chemicals. But my water chiller would get down to around 38 degrees. Back before they discouraged drinking at work, I'd bring in a couple cases of beer around Christmas, and load it up. Everyone in the office seemed to stop by the darkroom.
Damn that was the dark ages!
One time, a guy got ahold of some IBC Root Beer labels. IBC Root Beer came in brown bottles just like beer, and it was very common drink in our office. They soaked the labels off of the beer bottles, and glued the IBC labels onto them. Everyone was sitting at their desk getting drunk, and not one person caught on.
IBC is pretty popular in south Louisiana too but Barqs is #1.
My personal favorite is A&W.... But I grew up drinking it fresh at the A&W Root Beer stands. You know, when the car hop would bring frosty mugs of root beer on a tray that clipped onto your almost rolled down car window... We also had another place called Dog 'n Suds. Their root beer wasn't as good as A&W's, but they made the best charcoal burger ya ever had..!
Oh that A&W out of the keg at the drive in was top shelf all the way but since that all belongs to pepsi or somebody now it is only another old dream. Now Barqs is my 1st choice when availble in a bottle and IBC next.
Of all places, Aces Hardware, I picked up a root beer that I've never heard of I believe was called, "Frosty Top." The root beer was fairly good, but the vanilla flavor was really good.
