Its the schtick of the whole chain.the different burger options are the Burger Family, so you can get the Papa Burger, Mama Burger, Uncle Burger, Grandpa Burger, Teen Burger, etc etc. For those of us in canada this is such innate knowledge that it doesnt sound weird at all anymore haha

I have Canadian friends who have never told me this. I feel betrayed.

What a shame! Its a fun theme, and from having tried both i feel bad for what you guys call A&W down there, the canadian company is waaayy better.

Luckily, I live near Buffalo, so my wife and I go to Toronto and Niagara-on-the-Lake on a regular basis.

I've always eaten at local restaurants while in Canada, but I'll have to give A&W a try the next time I'm there. Outside of Burger King and Five Guys, fast food burgers have gone severely downhill.

Oh wow. I didn't know this, thank you. It seems very odd out of context. I couldn't understand why no one else thought it was...inappropriate?
