Fanta is THE best. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it in Canada in 20 years.

I don't think so.

Never tried Fanta's version, I think Fanta was under the Canada Dry banner and I think it was discontinued when Coke bought them out.

Anyone know of any A&Ws near UofT downtown Toronto (college+spadina & bay+bloor)?

The 2 burger for $5 deal, and ... the root beer (which i haven't had in ... around 8 years) is too tempting.

Your closest ones are in the Hudson's Bay Centre (Yonge & Bloor) and Toronto Eaton Centre (Yonge & Dundas).

a&w is good, but to really enjoy it you need to get it in a cold mug at an a&w location.

Lol, what's with the poll, I only see A&W?

I'd personally vote for Barqs.

perhaps the point was to show his opinion that a&w is the best, and he wanted to see how many people agreed.....
