The Great Root Bear

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Great Root Bear is the popular mascot for A&W Root Beer, an American soft drink. It was first used in 1974 by Canada's A&W, and was later adopted by the American chain. In the late 1990s, the Great Root Bear's role as mascot was reduced for the restaurant chain, although it still appears in various capacities for the restaurants and on A&W Root Beer cases in Canada.
