Late 50's, early 60's... my parents, sister, bro & I would walk the mile or so down to A&W after dinner on hot summer nites for root beer floats. Then dad would buy one of those frosty cold, 1 gal glass jugs of root beer, throw it over his shoulder & haul it home for our dessert the next few nites. Can still feel that balmy summer evening heat, smell the addicting aromas coming from A&W, and taste my mom's favorite treat, those wonderful floats. Norman Rockwellish, golden memories...
Thanks for sharing this Wisecracker, I love how so many people have amazing memories of their youth...have a great weekend my friend and thanks for tuning in......:)
Just discovered your channel a week or so ago. I love the simple, everyday life stories you share. And you seem like such a genuine guy. You have a new subscriber.
Your story telling is excellent.. your attention to detail is superb and it makes it real easy to see it all unfold.. thanku.. and also i recommend them hour videos because its like a movie
A&W was always my favorite as a kid. Like you, I was relegated to the teen burger as my parents thought I’d never finish anything larger. Boy were they wrong! Unfortunately, the nearest A&W is three hours away - I’ll just have to enjoy it vicariously through you. Keep up the great work!
Sounds like you and I had a similar childhood Maitai, thanks for sharing your comments....you could always move closer to the A&W....lol...thanks for tuning in...:)
I still remember going to the A&W with my mom and dad and they’d bring the tray out to the car and hook it on your window and you can eat right there in the parking lot. I thought that was the best thing in the world and when I graduated to the teen burger, I thought that was like coming of age to me. I’m sure you remember white spot too going there and then they put the whole tray inside your car and hook it on either end and I’d always order the pirate pack that was awesome. I remember taking my pirate pack home putting in my bathtub and of course, it would fall apart and sink and I’d cry for the rest of the day. 😂
Lol, the Pirate pack for sure. Yeah I like how you say eating your first Teen burger was like coming of age, so true my friend so true....have an awesome weekend Darren....:)
Yes, power out for 24 hours. Took my mom and sister to a hotel for the night coz they were freezing and hungry. Another one on the way my friend. I am all set, got my camp stove and lanterns out in the garage standing by. Thanks for thinking of me, you are awesome.....:)
Why do I watch these videos when I am hungry. I haven't had fast food burger in like forever. I mainly eat protein shakes, Eggs, Chicken, soup, beef fish, veggies, etc.(mainly homecooked) I love Whoopers and I love Western bacon cheeseburgers. I swear this is like torture. LOL
Hello Badger, I actually eat healthy also but not for these videos. I enjoy hamburgers a lot but like I said I only eat like this for my viewers...thanks for tuning in my friend, stay awesome....:)
@ And remember my friend you can only reply to as many people as you can and if you miss someone it totally 💯 ok Some time as we know people just want a response and some don’t even know and are surprised Well sorry it’s late Have a super week stay awesome Take care Your friend Shawn
I'm like you my friend, when I eat a burger I want everything on it, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, sauce and anything else that's going... fiancée is the exact opposite, if there's anything other than beef patty and cheese between the buns then she won't touch it 🤣 must be such an effort to be a fussy eater... great video and as always love to you and yours ❤
Hi Mark..Wow this burger looks so delicious! First if all thanks to the comment on my Question with the bubbly drinks. I always love to try new stuff from other countrys and in also love any drinks like fanta wirh the taste of orange. Also perfect that all the drinks are with zero sugar because i am trying to loose a bit weight at the moment. Really appreciate it! Thanks for youre nice contet here i absolutely love it!🎉🎉

We rec'd our first snowfall today! It was just a dusting, but boy was it pretty. I love the snow! So glad I'm a Northerner. (not as North as you, tho😊) Your burger looks sooo dang good. . . and your fries 🍟 sounded so crisp. See ya on Sat for the Crosswords! Byeee 👋 P.S. I'd love to see you do an apple pie comparison!
I am going to do the apple pie comparison. I have been scouting out all the places that sell those type of pies. I think it will be in the New year...thanks for tuning in Sweetphantasy, enjoy your snow.....:)

Snow is becoming rare is some parts of the world
We get very little here....:)
I think I'm going to have to travel to Canada just to visit A&W and while I'm up there I'll have a legit poutine 😂
They have many in Michigan.
@richaftanas9609 Thank you. I'm not close to Michigan 😂
I am sure it would be worth it my friend....some people would say only Quebec has legitimate Poutine but thats not true. It started there but we have it everywhere now....thanks for tuning in....:)

There was an A&W in town for years I sadly never tried it
I think you may have liked it Mason., thanks for tuning in....:)
Some people cover their Fry's in ketchup other people put it in a little puddle beside the Fry's.....
Yes I know some people do....I do that sometimes...thanks for tuning in Mason...:)
Fun fact. Did you know that A&W stands for the founders Allen and Wright
Yes I did know that, my sister worked there many years a go and she told me....thanks for sharing this Darren and for watching.....:)
I have an A&W by my house. Don’t ever really go there and it’s connected to a Long John Silvers. Been there for years.
If I had an A&W that close I might be there all the time......lol...Thanks for tuning in Coolguy......:)
Speaking of grandpa burger, were you close to grandparents
No I wish I had been but my maternal grandmother passed when I was ten, never knew the others at all as they all died before I was born....I always felt a bit ripped off because of that...thanks for tuning in my friend.....:)...that was a good question btw....:)
@auralfixatedasmr8647 i has a grandmother from dad, but not mom. On mom's side, I have an aunt - her eldest sister. She's like the grandmother. She's my favorite aunt
A&W, many in Michigan.
Yes we have 4 in town here, thanks for tuning in Rich....:)
