I remember when I was a child and you could still buy sarsaparilla (pronounced SASS-pah-rilla) at the grocery store. I think it's one of the oldest soda flavors, and it disappeared from the shelves in the NY metropolitan area. On a vacation to New England in the 1990s, I found it being sold in a small restaurant, not as a fountain drink, but in a one-serving bottle. When I asked about it, I was told that there was a family that owned a soda-making company and sold it in the general area. I kept one bottle of Hansen's Signature All Natural Sarsaparilla Soda, and it says right on the label that it was started by Hubert Hansen in 1935.

One hundred flavors? I hope they have sarsaparilla.

Yeah, there are some companies still making Sarsaparilla soda, like Hansen's, Sioux City, Briar's, etc.
