A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Traditionally yes. But that hasn't been the case since, like, the 40's or 50's when soda fountains became huge. Even most modern root beer like A&W, Mug, and Barqs aren't technically root beer, in the traditional sense. It might be different regionally, but here where I am if you go to a store and see ginger ale and ginger beer both being sold, they aren't the same thing.
