About

Root Beer No Root Beer! also known as Root Beer Cans Rolling Off Table, Root Beer Cans Falling Off Table, Root Beer in the Cowboys Heel or Put Another Root Beer in the Cowboy Mug, refers to a viral TikTok video uploaded by TikToker @nifreffa in January 2023 in which he's putting cans of Mug Root Beer into a Dallas Cowboys high-heeled shoe when suddenly multiple cans of root beer roll off the table in the dark while he screams, "Root Beer! No! Root Beer!" in an American, southern accent. The video inspired multiple re-edits that humorously overdramatized the moment and @nifreffa's sadness. The edits also spread to other platforms like YouTube and iFunny where many image macro memes also referenced the video.
