Safrole, the aromatic oil found in sassafras roots and bark that gave traditional root beer its distinctive flavor, was banned in commercially mass-produced foods and drugs by the FDA in 1960. [1] Laboratory animals that were given oral doses of sassafras tea or sassafras oil that contained large doses of safrole developed permanent liver damage or various types of cancer. [1] While sassafras is no longer used in commercially produced root beer and is sometimes replaced with artificial flavors, natural extracts with the safrole distilled and removed are available. [11] [12] Traditional method Root beer was originally made with sassafras root and bark which, due to its mucilaginous properties, formed a natural, long lasting foam, a characteristic feature of the beverage. Root beer was originally carbonated by fermentation. As demand and technology changed, carbonated water was used. Some manufacturers used small amounts of starch (e.g. from cassava) with natural surfactants to reproduce the familiar foaming character of sassafras-based root beer. Some brands of root beer have distinctive foaming behaviors, which has been used as part of their marketing identity. [14] Ingredients

The movie opens with the digitally-enhanced Pee-wee following a Rube Goldberg-esque route to work, driving his miniature car through a neighbor’s living room and helping himself to their breakfast bar: scones, French toast, “American toast,” green grapes, sausages, bacon, cinnamon toast. He only takes a bite of toast and is then out the door. He then helps little old lady Nana reach her yarn store, and she gives him his favorite candy, a root beer barrel. He takes out a minuscule, striped straw and drinks the root beer out of it, establishing a motif. (In real life, root barrels aren’t filled with liquid, so there isn’t anything to sip. Dad’s Root Beer still makes a brand and so does Brach’s A&W, but they aren’t so ubiquitous anymore. The movie juxtaposes modern times with the 1950s, hence the candy.) In the other two Pee-wee movies, food doesn’t play into the plot much, so it’s surprising Reubens and co-writer Paul Rust sprinkle the film with so many food references. Beyond its aromatic qualities, the medicinal benefits of sassafras were well known to both Native Americans and Europeans, and druggists began marketing root beer for its medicinal qualities.
