When I was (much) younger I used to order the Teen Burger when we went to the A&W. Even after I stopped being a teenager I still got the Teen Burger 'cause I wasn't really eligible for any of the others.While we were living in Europe there were no A&W's in our part of the world so I didn't have a problem choosing what to order. By the time we returned to Canada, Jane had been born and I could order the Papa Burger without feeling guilty.1
Here I am at the the A&W yesterday, trying out the Grandpa Burger. Technically, I won't be officially eligible for the Grandpa Burger until next January. Coincidentally, that's when my daughter Jane and her husband Michael will be able to buy the Mama and Papa Burgers.
1. I sometimes cheated and ordered the teenburger anyway.

Congratulations for the new Baby Burger™ on the grill! Congrats also to the Mama Burger™ and Papa Burger™, and whatever Uncle Burger™s might be around.

A portrait of a happy man.
ReplyDeleteQuestionable nutrition there.
ReplyDeleteDo you get any financial remuneration for the use of your picture on their packaging?
ReplyDeleteAfter a summer of tennis, a friend and I concluded that nothing could quench thirst like A & W root beer, with the possible exception of a very cold real beer.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteIs that the burger that's making you look so happy, or the coming of the newest baby burger?
ReplyDeleteYou look so happy, and that's nice!
You look so happy, and that's nice!
ReplyDeleteI agree! You (Moran) should use that picture on your blog instead of the other one. If you can ditch the burger...
You look like you've won big at the lottery!
A few years ago I discovered that I'd become allergic to black pop brands, thus forever placing a wall between me and beloved A&W rootbeer. Since then I've rarely ventured to the place, but your inspirational message has renewed my desire for both delicious burgers and onion rings!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the impending baby burger.
ReplyDeleteMy great grandmother's name was "Berger". I never knew her, but my mother often tells stories about her "Bobie Berger" (I don't go to A&W often enough to know whether there is actually a female grandparent burger). As for the Teen Burger, I recall as young child I asked my father why the Teen Burger was bigger than all the other burgers - he told me it was because teenagers think they are more important than everyone else.
"Grandpa Burger"? Sounds like a joke about cannibals...
ReplyDeleteIngredients and nutritional info for the Grandpa Burger (R)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, one of the ingredients of the Grandpa Burger is "Teen Sauce."
ReplyDeleteThe only family member-named burger at the A&W Restaurants, Inc. (i.e. the U.S. site) is the Papa Burger.
ReplyDeleteThe web site for A&W of Canada lists the Baby Burger, Mama Burger, Papa Burger, Teen Burger, Grandpa Burger, Uncle Burger and variants thereof. I leave it to the reader to decide whether A&W Canada is ahead of their southern counterpart, or behind. Is identity marketing a good thing or not?
I hope the Grandpa Burger is as tasty as the Teen Burger! If I were to judge by your picture, I would say it looks to be much better. How old do you think the baby has to be before he can enjoy a Baby Burger?
ReplyDeleteJane asks,
ReplyDeleteHow old do you think the baby has to be before he can enjoy a Baby Burger?
It's probably best to wait a few weeks. I'd hold off on the onion rings until the second month—not because they're bad but because the baby probably won't be able to eat a Baby Burger PLUS onion rings until then.
I think that you should start preparing your self for that Grandpa & Teen Burger order.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation to share with the family.
Great news! My very sincerest wishes that all goes well and soon we will all be cooing over pictures of the most beautiful granddaughter / most handsome grandson in the world.
ReplyDeleteSo, a Grandpa Burger would be like, high fiber, low-cholesterol....
ReplyDeleteAnyways: congrats in advance on improving your inclusive fitness.
Welcome to the grandfatherly ranks!
