Yea, I've seen that before, got parts of it in my computer. Glad you brought that up it's such a great resource, I'll have to revisit that again and refresh my old memory! Thanks for the comments and the link!

I remember the foil packaging well. I was fortunate enough to have an older sister and brother who both drove and where else would teenage drivers hang out other than the local A&W. So I was always talking one or the other into taking me with them. Went to A&W for supper then off to the drive in theater on Friday nights. Love the mug collection. I think I have a couple packed away somewhere.

I wish I knew my cousin better, but it just worked that way…. But she owned 4 A & W’s in Reno, back thru that era! Last time I saw her- wait- went to see her but she had to fly her plane to Africa to kill stuff, so wasn’t home-besides, over on the next hill (each house gets a hill and there were 2 overlooking Reno) stuffed dead African animals posed oddly…. Looking at me, like “help me”. Bullet holes in the front room massive window- next hill neighbor is mafia and they shoot at him on the regular…. She would have some stuff! When we ever spent time, way back, she was only a waitress and she was more approachable like real people …. Oh but I’d love to look out in her shed

Badass awesome story and photos. I haven't got all my root beer stuff together yet. I love Orange Crush and any root beer stuff. Nothing great but here's some of my root beer stuff. I'm always organizing.

Yes, I have similar memories too. Along with a few of those old mugs. My favs were the orange logo with the arrow through it and the young ladies on roller skates.

WildCat, You and yours are the stuff history should remember. --Makes me want to visit Reno. The most interesting action seems to be in the hills. (I'll bring a vest.)

Incredible story, I can just imagine what she may have in her shed or storage, maybe you should give her a call!

Wow. Sounds like my uncle back in day in Michigan! Wanted to give me 20 acres to build a house on. He hated everyone and everyone hated him. Bullets flying everywhere. I can relate somewhat. Great story!

I was thinking about that-and, well…your right! Almost all my immediate family is gone- I should track her down. I think she moved to Idaho, was it? I’ll check into that.
