Rooty the Great Root Bear, the mascot of A&W Restaurants for 60 years, will hence forth be wearing denim jeans.
In a Twitter post, the company suggested that Rooty’s lack of pants was "polarizing." Link "America, let’s talk. Since 1963, Rooty the Great Root Bear has been our beloved spokesbear. We knew people would notice because he’s literally a 6-foot tall bear wearing an orange sweater," the company said. "But now we get it – even a mascot’s lack of pants can be polarizing." Moving forward, Rooty will wear be wearing jeans. The company said Rooty will still remain the company’s official "spokesbear" despite the update. "We are confident Rooty will continue to champion good food & good times for many years to come…now in denim," A&W Restaurants wrote. ![]() |

I wasn't expecting you so soon. Usually I have to say "drunken half-wit" three times before you show up.

A “polarizing” bear?
Is that like a black bear who is transitioning to become a polar bear? |

I ate at ah A&W in Utah several years ago. I don't remember any bears (with or without pants), but I do remember the food sucked.

someday we'll be asking "Rooty" where he buried Pooh, Roo, Thumper and Eeyore, and dozens of others, to maybe excuse him from the death sentence

A Bear in Denim?
Seriously they just made a Bear's bear . I'm cool with "bears" (body positive bros) and they'll love having another scene mascot. I just don't think A&W thought this one fully through. This bear didn't have genitals until now that A&W covered them. Anyone wanting to sexual Anthropomorphise their mascot has the dirty mind. ![]() |

Today I learned there are still A&W restaurants open, and that they have a mascot.

It’s the WEF mandated ESG score.
Companies are shitting their pants to fall in line. Eventually it hits the peoples too. |

True story.
I was deeply traumatized by Disney as a child when I couldn't figure out why the canine character Goofy wore clothing while canine character Pluto did not and was naked. It's about time government got into solving these problems. |

Animals shouldn't be wearing pants. It's unnatural.

There's an A&W in Cobleskill NY. It looks like a 1980s movie set. There are even phones at the booths for you to call the kitchen (I think). I don't know if they work. It's completely unchanged from decades ago.

It's a cartoon bear. What in the hell is wrong with these people.

Shouldn’t the bear have a female name since it doesn’t have a cock?

A&W used to have a whole bear family as mascots and even built their burgers around them back in the 60's. Papa sandwich, Mama sandwich, and baby bear sandwich, looks like dad was the only one that survived. A&W was also one of the first chains to char broil their burgers.

They should go the other way and give him a giant raging bear boner.

As a child, my Mother told me that happiness was the key to life. At school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment; I told them they didn't understand life.

And all this time I thought he was wearing dark brown corduroy pants, to find out all these years later that he wasn't wearing pants at all is quite troubling; at least now He / She is wearing denim pants.
