Reply to TIL that Barq's Root Beer was first created by Edward Barq in Biloxi, Miss, in 1897. In 1934, Barq and a former employee, who moved to New Orleans, agreed to each distribute their own version of the root beer, with the New Orleans version having a red label and the Biloxi version having a blue one. by jdward01
Hands down the best root beer brand out of all of them. Everything else sucks by comparison. Mug and A&W can't hold a candle to barqs

Reply to comment by DoctorBocker in TIL of execution by Breaking Wheel that would start with tying the body to a wheel, breaking the bones of the limbs, braiding the broken limbs through the spokes and leaving the body to be eaten by scavenging animals and birds. by muadib1974
I remember one where they would tie you to the wheel and then they would actually roll you down the hill
