A&W root beer is 100 years old.

[Army of the Lord]

The first restaurant was founded in June of 1919.

They should have stuck to the old formula instead of squeezing as much sweet syrup into it they can as with other sodie pops. I remember when there was real lasting fizz and flavour instead of being a sickly sweet mess that no longer barely bubbles. You good buy a gallon and it would stay good for weeks once initially opened. But congrats A&W. You've stayed truer to your original menu and product than all the others. Bring back the carhops (so we don't have to get out of the handivan)

Root beer float made with A&W root beer & quality vanilla bean ice cream, on a hot day, that right there is a sip of heaven.

Well, it TASTES SO O O O GOOOOOD....... but might not be so good for the pancreas, the teeth, or the bones ! ? (maybe just a little , once in a while, is okay if someone's not already diabetic nor has cancer ? (or other health concerns) )

Never was a big fan of A&W.. expect when I used to go to this one KFC as a kid. They served fresh A&W from the tap and it was so good.

I didn't realize that it had been around so long. Although rarely drink soda, a root beer float is a nice thing to have on occasion.

One time I got A&W from a tap, but after a couple sips I was confused by the flavor. I kept having images of corn bread. Then I realized it was a similar flavor to when I would put syrup onto corn bread as a child (I don’t really like syrup). I couldn’t drink it after that and just brought it home and gave it to my dad.
Generally I like A&W though. I guess their mixture was a bit off, or my taste buds were extra sensitive that day.
A&W is the best for root beer floats.

Has anyone tried A&W flavored candy before?

Edit: I realized I’ve already told that story about the A&W fountain on CF before. Oops. It’s one of those experiences I can’t forget.

Yes I have! Love their hard candy shaped like barrels! The licorice twists are alright too.

I didn’t know they made licorice twists. :O
I’ve had the hard candies and also jelly beans.

Maybe.. I lack a sense of smell.. so my sensation of taste has always been low.. so maybe fresh A&W provides me with a sensation of flavor more akin to people who drink regular A&W but might be too powerful for people with a sense of smell?

Yeah, I think I tried some A&W Halloween candy before.

As far as root beer is concerned I always like Bargs.

They do! They're not that great imo. The hard candy is the best. I like root beer taffy. Idk if it's A&W specifically, just the root beer flavor.
