A&W announced the return of one of its most iconic hot dog offerings, the 'Whistle Dog.' This item left the A&W menu in 2017 after being a fan favorite for many years. Since then, customers have consistently requested the return of the item on social media, in-stores, and through other contact methods. The item is now returning to the restaurant's menu on July 25th, 2022, for a limited time.
In addition to bringing back the Whistle Dog, which is a large hot dog with bacon stuffed inside it that is then topped with various condiments, A&W announced a mini-documentary series to celebrate the item. This documentary is called 'Bring Back the Whistle Dog,' and it will cover in-depth information surrounding the significance of the cult-hit hotdog.
