A&W

A&W, formed by Roy Allen and Frank Wright (hence, we assume, the name) in 1922, is a chain of restaurants in the USA, with the tagline “All American Food”.  They have more than 900 restaurants in 16 countries, 460 in the USA so it seems that American food remains very popular in America.  Their mascot is Rooty, the “Great American Root Bear”, and  in 2013 he became the first mascot to have an official LinkedIn profile.  Which was swiftly shut down by the po-faced people at LinkedIn, who clearly take themselves far too seriously.
