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.
