Given Jason’s insanity about his PBJ sandwich, he would have refused to drink it if his mom had poured him sqrt(1) + sqrt(4) + sqrt(25) + sqrt(16) ounces.
I was in the grocery store a few months back and I remember overhearing 4 guys talking about what kind of soda to get, I put in my 2 cents worth by pointing out that everyone likes root beer, three of them were nodding their heads in agreement when the fourth one said, “I don’t like foot beer.” I didn’t stick around to see what they decided after that.

Mutter whatever you want. Since it’s root beer, you have to stop a little early.

Surely Jason knows that you can’t just take the root of some number and disregard the units.

If he put his root beer into a square glass, it would be beer.

Paige needs to surreptitiously add a dropper full of Full Spectrum CBD oil to Jason’s root beer … supposed to have a calming effect on weirdos ….

I’m surprised Jason didn’t note that the full glass contained the square root of 9 times the square root of 16 ounces.

If he used the negative roots the root beer would pour from the glass back into the bottle.

Is there a kid in the comics weirder than Jason?

Ahhhhhh ROOT beer. I see what you did there.

Two things. First the total is only 12 oz — secondly, if you needed a calculator to figure this comic then you need to brush up on your basic math.

Paige not be negative would certainly be imaginary (i).

How long has it been since we’ve seen a pun like this in FoxTrot? I don’t think I’ve been paying attention.

If he was really serious he would be using a square shaped glass and doing cube roots

…if he poured the root beer with the nutrition facts down, the label should be the other way.
