Can you really drink from Root Beer Barrels?
In Pee-wee's Big Holiday, we often see someone grab a candy "Root Beer Barrel" and use a tiny straw to drink the Root Beer inside the candy. I've never tried this candy before and when I was researching online I couldn't determine whether you can actually drink from Root Beer Barrels.
Best Answer
Root Beer Barrel candy, as far as I've had in real life, are hard candy. They do not have a liquid center. So no.
Obviously, there may be variations on the candy throughout the country or even world, or specialty/designer/indie/souvenir candy manufacturers who make it as the movie describe. You never know.

Brach's Root Beer Barrels have long been the root beer barrel that all other candies are compared to, and although the A&W Root Beer Barrels were permanently discontinued due to licensing issues in 2011, we are told that these new Root Beer Barrels taste just as good and perhaps even better.Irish People Try Root Beer For The First Time
