A&W Restaurants Troll M&M’S Spokescandies Debacle
I have fond memories of A&W Restaurants. As a kid there was one near where my dad worked, and my mom would take us there to meet him for lunch. Those were good times, but to be completely honest, I had kinda forgotten the restaurants still existed.
…UNTIL TODAY.
Not only is the business still alive and well, but they also have someone with a sense of humor managing their social media channels.
The joke by A&W, which was tweeted out on Jan. 24, is clearly a nod to the recent M&M’s spokescandies debacle.
In case you missed it, here’s the statement by M&M’s:
So, what we can gather by this ridiculous statement is that people were triggered by the shoes of a fictional character, who just so happens to be a giant piece of chocolate, and there is no hope for society. I’d be more upset with the company if their peanut M&M’s weren’t so addicting.
Moving onnnnn.
This leads us to A&W, who brilliantly crafted their own message about how Rooty the Great Root Bear would now be wearing pants, because his lack of pants was “polarizing.”
I’m not gonna lie, when I first read the statement, I had to do a double take. Everything is so stupid nowadays that I thought they were serious for a second. Suddenly, I started to worry the woke mob was going to come for Pooh Bear next.
But then I realized the tweet I was reading straight sarcasm. How embarrassing.
Once I recovered from missing the obvious joke, I discovered a little bit of my faith in society was restored.
In honor of A&W, I think we all need to crack open an ice-cold root beer and say, “Good one.”
But seriously, put on some pants, Rooty. A bear with no pants is a grisly sight.

As I read this article, I was sipping on my A&W root beer! (Not a lie!) A&W is the only root beer I will drink. And no thank you to that sugar-free crapola. I always joke that if I’m gonna die, it’s gonna be from the real stuff, not the stuff that causes cancer in lab rats. I have a picture to prove it, but I can’t attach anything anymore. 🙁
Were it not for the snowstorm that hit us here in Michigan, I’d go to the A&W a mile and a half from home. I thought that Ms. Green was killin’ it in those go-go boots, so I had no problem with them at all.
Living in grizzly country I have to say that I have never seen a bear,grizzly or otherwise wearing pants i think it would be unbearably funny to see pants on a bear
Not sure if it would be funny. I’d be wondering if there was a lumberjack or camper running around in his underwear.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! Rooty the Root Bear wearing jeans would be reminiscent of Smokey The Bear to some. I hope that copyright issues doesn’t arise from Rooty wearing jeans, though it’s just a joke that he will be.
