Yeah why A&W would want to besmirch their brand like that. Bad idea. 

Exactly.....why would a burger company want to associate the colour green with their hamburger meat..... or their fake meat....

What headline were they going for? Even inbreds dig our new burgers?

What about Save On Foods & the watermelon wearing green "football fans"??? Someone should clue in the fatso owner there are 4 other teams in the West Division.

Jim Pattison is originally from Saskatchewan (just fyi)

The guy in the commercial “Darrell” is not the owner.  But anyway that’s not the point. 

Didnt A&W also do a commercial at mosaic with the their little fat guy (apologies to little fat guys)? Showing a bunch of rider fans trying the newest offering from “Albert & Walter’s. Talk about pandering to the great unwashed. 

But again A&W is fine dining in Saskatchewan.?

But he lives in BC now. That being said, no one in BC would recognize a Lions jersey. 

The danger of smoking weed is shown in that Save On commercial with the "football fans" they found with carved watermelons on their heads. They all look stoned. Guess the director rounded up four stragglers from one of the many homeless shelters in downtown Regina by asking if they wanted to make 5 bucks. Paying that kind of money guaranteed them the best of the best.

As a farmer, I could never eat at A & W again anyway.  My stance is now most definitely permanent.

Sure. If you want to shrink your Hippocampus (but I digress).

Everything in moderation. Just like salt beer chocolate blah blah blah etc etc

 

I just watched that commercial again,  I think the people that were riders were actually actors,  fake fakers lol

Harvey's is the same. Only McDonald's still is beef only.

What about Salisbury house burgers ?......I have always avoided sals I don't know why.... but they have a spot in the mini food court at HSC.  I had three Mr big nips and a couple of the double patty ones with all the onions over the last 3+ weeks while spending my time there.  They weren't that bad.  

Also the wife might be getting out of there soon, fingers crossed and thanks again for the thoughts a few weeks back.

Glad your wife is on the mend.

I believe his point is more about who's using CANADIAN beef... AW has been American beef only (disguising it as hormore free) for a long time.

I see.

Oh, I could care less about that meatless burger or whatever it is. It’s their false advertising about their products. Eg. Most chickens are fed a plant based diet and for both hogs and chickens, hormones are not used.  A & W makes it sound like this is unique to their products.

You wouldn't believe how many people I've gotten into arguments about this. People believe anything these days they read on websites. Even though I can say I know farmers and they don't use hormones.

Haven't been to A&W since I learned they weren't using Cdn beef. It's the closest fast food to my office and I worked in one for 7 years through high school and Uni.

Meatless is fine (not interested in it) but if they can't support our farmers, I can't support them.

There are people who still believe that KFC grows chickens without heads.

Btw do you think Skip the Dishes will ever pull a Kentucky Fried Chicken and abbreviate their name to an acronym?

Well it's not disguising, it's an actual designation American beef can get... just that the industry down there isn't as regulated so you need to have the thing as opposed to up here where it's all hormone free anyway.
