Have you ever tried a "Swamp water" at A&W?

Sounds awful but at least give a try once, it's half and half root beer and orange drink. :thumbup:

That's a bit of a stretch to say that but yes he did die of a heart attack.

At least you can go and get one if you want. I am sat here in the UK with limited fast food choice. The only drive-thru's we have are MD's and KFC. And they are both a load of crap.

I would give my right arm for a Wendys right now. Jealous :mad::ohmy:

His name was Dave Thomas and he was also the first big operator for the "The Colonel" and headed up franchise operations for KFC in Columbus Ohio. Maybe his problems started with scarfing down that stuff !

How can you say that when there is no Poutine available in the UK:mad:

Of course a big crunch and poutine is about 6000calories and laden with sat fat...so maybe that was part of Dave Thomas's problems....

Hmmm, I haven't seen any A&W since I've been here, hadn't heard of them till I read this thread. Ian's pic has now put me off, although Steve's Swamp Water does sound disturbingly appealing!

For those in Toronto I must do a shout out for Gourmet Burger on Parliament St....the all time best chicken burgers I've ever had with a multitude of toppings and sweet potato fries :thumbsup: Better than any chain! It's almost too good, I have to avert my eyes in case I'm tempted inside.
