    No one went to A&W for burgers back then, footlong chili dog and root beer.

      This, exactly.

      Anyone repeating this 1/4 vs 1/3 bullshit never had one of their 1/3lb burgers. They were fucking terrible. Sysco prison-grade burger patties, drowned in store-brand ketchup with a thin slice of “American”-flavored yellow #5.

      Absolute worst burger I’ve ever had.

      Growing up, A&W was for chili dogs and a big glass mug of rootbeer. Never order anything else; its always a fat sack of disappointment.

        I miss it. We’d get footlongs and a gallon of root beer then go to the park across from it. I wonder if it’s still there.

          A&W now is pretty damn good in the US. As a Wisconsinite, their cheese curds are better than Culvers and it’s not even close.
