Talk:butterbeer

RFV discussion: May–June 2019
Harry Potter drink. The three citations do not appear to be "independent of reference to that universe", since they mention Hogwarts and wands. Equinox ◑ 22:16, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You probably only say that because you're a muggle!
 * In all seriousness, though, isn't quidditch played in real life? I thought that I heard about that becoming popular years ago.
 * I'm pretty sure that there are recipes for quote unquote "butterbeer" out there that have been adopted. I wouldn't be surprised if there is even a "licensed" recipe out there.
 * With all of that said, I do agree that this needs to be RfVed.Tharthan (talk) 01:38, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * If the term refers to an object that has come to be used in the real world, then it meets WT:FICTION. Look at bat'leth as a precedent. The question is, is butterbeer another bat'leth?Khemehekis (talk) 03:47, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * WT:FICTION doesn't exactly say that. More importantly, I can tell you what a bat'leth is without reference to Star Trek; to crop our definition, "A double-ended curved blade weapon with spiked protrusions, controlled by grips along its back". (The illustration helps.) I'm not sure there is such a thing as butterbeer in absence of Harry Potter; there's just a bunch of drinks with minimal similarity that use the name from Harry Potter.--Prosfilaes (talk) 11:44, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Judgung from what you said, butterbeer doesn't sound like another bat'leth. Are all the real butterbeers made of the same recipe? If we find three different references to the same recipe from three different sources and authors spanning over a year, I'd say butterbeer is another bat'leth. But from what it sounds like, each person making something called "butterbeer" has a difference recipe. (Fun fact: I remember going to a science class and making real-life oobleck.
