Things you've rediscovered.
« on: August 04, 2016, 03:49:28 PM »
Last week, I stopped by an old school A&W restaurant in Oakridge.

I ordered a burger combo and without thinking forgot to tell the guy what I wanted to drink.

About 5 min later, he comes out with my combo...       ... and a 20oz frosted mug of A&W root beer!!

This is a classic piece of Americana from my childhood that I had completely forgotten about.

If you ordered your food in, your beverages were served in a frosted mug which made them taste 1000% better for some reason.

So I went to one of the local thrift stores and lo and behold! They had an A&W mug there!

I bought it and now I have rediscovered this wonderful way to consume my beverages.

I think I might have to get a couple more that way there's always a frosted mug in the freezer.  8)

I have tried root beer once. That was enough for me.

There have always been frosted glasses and mugs in the freezer here.

Root beer is always better in a frosted mug...screw the can cozies.

Just get the heavyweight glasses or mugs, they hold up the best.

This thread isn't about root beer, it's about things you've rediscovered.

Haribo gummy bears. Bought a bag yesterday. Haven't had them since I was a kid. According to the packet, they have been around since 1922.
