A&W Root Beer puts pants on ‘polarizing' mascot bear Rooty after M&Ms 'pauses' spokescandies
Rooty the Great Root Bear has been the company's mascot since 1963
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."
"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."
Hey, wait! ... Aren't pants a symbol of the Patriarchy?
