    A&W had a 1/3lb burger that was cheaper than McDonald’s quarter pounder. Nothing fancy about it, just people are bad at math.

        I keep seeing people talking as if they didn’t exist anymore but they still have about 600 restaurants in the US and 400 elsewhere (not counting the Canadian version which is independent and doing very well as far as I know and actually has more locations than the US chain)

          I only see them as partnerships with other places like KFC. In my childhood there was a bunch of them. I liked them best.

          There used to be one near me and there isn’t anymore. I really miss the root beer that was on tap there, something they did to it at the restaurant made it special (possibly a different syrup or the way they mixed it).

          There’s one like a mile from me, but I never go because they suck. Oh, and KFC sucks as well, yet they decided to co-brand with them.

          I liked it as a kid, but I tried them a few years ago and they are awful. I much prefer Carl’s Jr and even Wendy’s.
