Do we have proof that it is "The most popular root beer today"? 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)

Subjectiveness of the passage "It's the best root beer you'll ever taste."

I think that the A&W rootbeer sold in stores does not taste nearly as good as the A&W rootbeer sold in A&W restuarants. Anyone else agree?--RLent 16:09, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

On the Coca-Cola Company, "Brands" page it says A&W. (http://www2.coca-cola.com/brands/brandlist.html) Cavenba 03:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

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)

[edit] *Fresh* Root Beer?

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)

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)

Some A&W Restaurants actually do brew their root beer. This is why it often tastes diferent at the restaurants. (Not just a difference of syrup to carbonated water mixture) That is why they often sell in-restaurant bottled rootbeer in a half gallon jug (identicla to a milk bottle). This is true of many restaurants, but it is not true of them all. --MJHankel 00:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
