Today, I enjoyed a nice Papa Burger combo meal at an A&W/KFC. While eating, I realized I have never seen an A&W commercial on television. Is Yum!
Brands, which also has Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC and Long John Silver's, somehow ashamed of A&W Restaurant?
There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's a decent hamburger chain. It also has the iconic draft semi-keg of A&W root beer going for it. So what gives? Why does Yum! treat A&W like the asthmatic, bespectacled weakling who hopes only to not be picked last at the schoolyard kickball game?
Do they need a loveable commercial mascot? How about a talking albatross and a talking walrus? Or better yet, Reverend Sharpton and Wilford Brimley?
