Cowboys & Dinosaurs is a flavored root beer beverage themed around the concept of pairing two things that don’t normally go together (i.e., root beer and blueberry, cowboys and dinosaurs). The original cowboy-talk copywriting and graphic elements contrast the dynamic hand-drawn illustrations and colorful palette to bring this time capsule of a drink to you from an alternate prehistoric Wild West dimension.
