  • On March 10, 2021, a photograph supposedly showing a root beer-flavored vape juice-flavored root beer beverage was widely circulated on social media: This is a genuine photograph of a product bearing the label root beer-flavored vape juice-flavored root beer. However, this photograph was taken at an art installation, not at a grocery store, and does not show a real product available for purchase. This photograph was taken at the OmegaMart in Las Vegas, an art installation by the entertainment company Meow Wolf. This surrealist store features products like Definitely Not Butter Air Freshener Spray, Whale Song Deodorant (billed as a vegan antiperspirant and antidepressant for all genders) and 5G Lip Balm. While people can truly purchase some of these items — we were unable to find a link to purchase this root beer — it seems that the customer is paying more for the novelty of the label than the product itself. As Las Vegas Eater writes, think of Omega Mart as more art than actual grocery store. A spokesperson for OmegaMart told us that while a number of items are truly for sale at the art installation, this root beer was a fake product. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that OmegaMart has more than 150 products, and that many of them are for sale. However, customers should beware of the labels. For instance, a jar of Nut Free Salted Peanuts is just a jar of salt. Here's an OmegaMart ad for this root beer-flavored vape juice-flavored root beer: While this is a genuine photograph of a product labeled root beer-flavored vape juice-flavored root beer, this is not a genuine product. This photograph was taken at an art installation in Las Vegas. (en)
