Talk:A&W Root Beer

message: Hi. This guy I know on the internet-paratus-thinks that the citation for the international headquarters being in Malaysia is really weak, and I agree. There's no mention of it on the corporate website, and the citation link is to some personal website about the root beer. So yeah. 129.19.139.62 (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Malaysia

message: Do we have proof that it is "The most popular root beer today"? no but Sounds a little unencyclopedic to me. I am going to change it to "One of the most popular root beers today" But we really need some statistics as well as reference points. (Is it the most popular root beer in Asia, the US, europe, world wide, do we have proof of this, ect.)--66.75.137.32 18:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It also has an asterisk (*), meaning "used under license". From the Cadbury Schweppes page: "it does not manufacture Schweppes beverages for Hong Kong, Ireland or the United Kingdom, having sold its trademarks there to The Coca-Cola Company." - What you are seeing is likely a country by country licensing issue. -- 22:34, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Not sure about this statement. Isn't it all just prepackaged syrup mixed with carbonated water (like all other fountain soft drinks)?  --Navstar 14:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no citation for it, and I'm sure that it could be the only thing that makes the article read like an ad, so I'm removing "fresh" and the advertisement template.  --Brandon Dilbeck 23:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Do you think that A&W root beer nutrition facts should be added to the article? I have a source of reference for it, if that would make a difference. - ~VNinja~ 21:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I think some care needs to be put into distinguishing the history of the A&W beverage and the restaurant business - according to A&W Restaurants, the restaurant came first, before it was bottled and sold, etc. This article doesn't seem to make the same statement. Could more research be put into this? --Midnightdreary (talk) 18:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Right. But the history of the two has to be at least somewhat interwoven and, as it is here, the history either contradicts that of the restaurant or at least isn't clear. If the beverage originated from the restaurant, as it seems to state in the restaurant article, it needs to be clearer. --Midnightdreary (talk) 02:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wrong. The resteraunt article says that it was foundin in 1922, while this article says that the root beer was founded in 1919. Therefore, the root beer came first. - ~VNinja~ 21:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

message: "...A&W outlets tripled as GI loans paved the way for private enterprise." GI loans are the opposite of private enterprise. Unless someone can justify this sentence, I'm going to change it to "business ownership". Laodah 02:56, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Questionable wording

message: According to an A&W Restaurant 2023 press release, Rooty the Great Root Bear was created in 1963, NOT in 1974 as stated in the article. 2600:8800:204:C400:A469:A4A2:AAF9:70C5 (talk) 06:47, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I found multiple sources that Rooty became the mascot in the mid-1970s and one that specifies 1973. Without seeing the press release, it's possible for both statements to be true: that they created the bear in 1963 and that the bear became the chain's official mascot in 1973.
