Yes, after these ads began airing, I held my soda cans like that. It was an important new discovery.

[@dariowiter3078]

I did that, too, whenever I had an A&W. 😁

A&W and Barqs are my favorite root beers.

I tried this when I was kid and wound up with a root beer bib and matching corduroy pants.

Wow I haven't heard that jingle in years, thanks for the video and the memories.

[@BionicDisco]

You're very welcome, as always. =)

I was four years old when this commercial aired, and to this day, that jingle still plays in my head when I see A&W root beer! Thanks for posting this.

That looks like a very painful way to hold a root beer can

[@RetroFreak35]

Anyone caught this ad while watching “All in the Family” during the final seasons in the seventies?

[@TomBeiter]

To this day, I walk around the house singing that jingle at least once a week.
