Nostalgic Root Beer Mugs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

A&W is Bringing Back It's Classic Baby Mug for a Limited Time

— December 24, 2018 — Marketing
In an effort to inject a little bit of nostalgia into this holiday season, A&W is brining back its classic Baby Mugs for just 99-cents.

From now through December 31st, customers at participating A&W restaurants can purchase one of the brand's classic Baby Mugs for less than a buck. The 3.5-ounce Baby Mugs are a new take on A&W’s classic Root Beer mug design, which has been decorated with the brand's 100th anniversary logo. The catch is that you have to purchase a combo meal at full price and mention the special promotion when ordering.

Normally priced at $9.99 for a set of two mugs, the Baby Mug promotion is a great opportunity for fans to stock their cabinet for cheap.
