    Great video! One thing missing about the Canadian A&W, Unilever sold it to A&W senior management in 1995.

    On Canadian burgers it is processed cheddar. American cheese is processed cheddar.

      I suppose they're all processed, right? American cheese has a lower melting point than what was labeled as "cheddar" in Canada, and it becomes more of a cheese sauce when it's heated.

      No, The cheese used on Canadian A&W burgers is not processed. It is actual sliced cheddar cheese.

      Per the A&W CA website, the cheddar cheese contains milk, modified milk ingredients, cream, salt, bacterial culture, annatto, calcium chloride, and microbial enzyme

      The "Sharp American Cheese" in the US is "Cultured milk and skim milk, water, cream, sodium citrate, salt, sorbic acid, sodium phosphate, artificial color, acetic acid, lecithin, and enzymes." So, it's arguably more processed (sodium citrate is a special salt that emulsifies the ingredients), but it's not as different as you might assume.

    I'll take real cheddar cheese over that processed (aka "American") cheese any day. Also, the Canadian root beer tastes better because it is sweetened with real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. And just a personal question from me - how could you go to A& W and not have the onion rings? That's one of the things they do best! 🤤

      The onion rings were an obvious miss, and I'll make sure to fix that soon! They deserve a proper comparison. Regarding the cheese, that's a totally valid preference, but I love a super melty American cheese on my burger.

    The US A&W dropped the burger family dropped the Burger almost altogether (except for the Papa burger). A&W Canada retained the Burger Family (Baby, Teen, Mama, Papa and Grandpa). They also have the Buddy burger, Mozza burger, Uncle burger and Beyond Meat burger. The Great A&W Root Bear is gone, as well as Chubby Chicken (although there's a Chubby Chicken Cruncher). A & W Canada is committed to hormone-free, steroid-free grass fed beef and chicken. Their foods are all natural.
    Also, A&W Canada retained the A&W logo from before the split, while A&W USA changed theirs and added "All American Food".
    As well, A & W Canada advertises a lot. Allen Lulu does the commercials, highlighting the restaurant and deals. Some humerous, some talking with customers.

    I'm sorry, but stating that cheddar cheese is inferior to processed for burgers completely invalidates your entire review
    Kidding! Mostly... Thanks for doing this experiment :)

      I love cheddar, but I want something more melty on my burgers. Extremely controversial, I know.

    You had me with the superior Canadian root beer blend, you lost me with cheddar being inferior on a burger... American cheese isn't even cheese. It's a cheese product filled with binders and fillers and no real taste... Canadians including myself cringe at American "cheese" in almost every context except for maybe post-drinking late-night binge grilled cheese and that's again mainly for simplicity... ;-)

    • @thesodafry

      Agree to disagree about American cheese. I think of it as more of a sauce than a cheese.
