I didn't know what to get the kids for lunch so I just bought a few buddy burgers and buddy chicken burgers.

Holy poo poo those were good. College me would have killed for those things when I was poor, drunk, and hungry.

Emitting dimensions are swallowing you
The root beer has always been too sweet and kind of flat, but back when they'd bring it out to your car in the big heavy frosty glass mugs it was the finest drink on earth. I can only stand to drink it occasionally now because of the strength of those memories. The food is great or complete garbage depending on the location.

Did u know:

If you order through the app, you can add bacon, cheese, breakfast sandwich egg, and whatever veg they have including grilled onions to just about any burger? For freeee

$2 buddy burger. Add bacon, egg, mozzarella, cheddar, reg onion. Still :2bux:

$3 breakfast egg sandwich. Add bonus egg, bacon, more cheese, grilled onions. 3 dollar.

Lol you spend 4 for the bacon & egger. Why not spend 3 instead for the exact same ordered a different way.

That must be a restaurant specific thing. I tried adding stuff, and it charged me for most of it.



Fun fact: these were all "add toppings" to buddy burgers, but the 3 restaurants I tried all charge different prices, despite being <5kms apart from each other. :v:

Guessing it's the sauce for Teen Burgers (from the burger family), but that doesn't make it sound any less weird.

Not that, it's just I never found the menu to be confusing, but maybe I've only been to smaller locations, or something. :shrug:

Edit: I mean the burger family kinda forms the centre of everything else, and it kinda follows the same categories of "burgers", "chicken", and "breakfast", like the other chains. I dunno, I'm just some internet fatso.

So looking at the A&W Canada burger menu online, to decipher this, apparently teens like lettuce and tomato on their burgers, however moms don't, neither do dads but they are bigger then moms but grandpas are bigger then dads. Uncles like lettuce and tomato just like teens do for some reason, but they are thicker, unless you get a double tag teen, then I'm not sure, some teens may be beefier then uncles. Your buddy is small and does not like sesame seeds, and babies are also small, suck, and don't like anything. I sort of get what they were going for but yeah, it's bizarre.

Yeah, the confusing part is when they print “then” rather than “than” on their menus.

It’s confusing, eh?

Apparently Moms, Dads, and Grandpas all have "Teen Sauce" on them at Canadian A&W, but uncles have their own special "Uncle Sauce". It's weird. Bafflingly funny weird.

Looking at the menu has made me angry because, they still have the Mozza Burger. Which you used to be able to get at American A&Ws (admittedly this was like 25-30 years ago) and it was the best burger on the menu.

Mozza burger is pretty drat good.

I just checked, apparently it comes with Mozza sauce, which still sounds like a euphemism for cum.

We have A&W's in Wisconsin still. They're more rare, and usually in small towns rather than in the big ones. They used to be all drive-ups and they'd come out on roller skates when I was a kid. They still have one that I know of a few towns over like that, but they walk the food out to you. They also have dine-in as well. The root beer is fantastic and they give you a huge frosted mug and you jut take it to a tap and pour as much as you want, and can ask for another frosted mug if you want. They also sell root beer in big growlers if you want as well. The burger selection is pretty decent, and the onion rings are great.

If they had them where I live I would choose them over McDs, BK, and Wendys. But it's a 20 min drive for either of the ones near me instead of 5.

There was one in my hometown in Kentucky that closed sometime while I was in high school.

On top of the root beer on tap for the frosted mugs, they also had cream soda on tap. And yeah, it was way better than BK or McD's, but this one existed in an area with drat near every fast food option available within like half a mile and I guess it couldn't compete.
