Someone else besides A&W makes root beer ?
Just kidding. Yeah, Mugs is not so good, and Barqs should stop calling itself rootbeer. Believe it or not, Shasta makes a decent RB, but .....
When I was a kid, a monthly trip to A&W, where you would roll your car windows 2/3rds the way down so a tray could be set there, then the car hop would take your order and bring back an old fashioned Cheeseburger, onion rings (some people got fries aka. chips) and a frosty mug of root beer, or even better a RB Float.
The things we remember from 50 years ago, mouth is watering now,
