Today is the 15th annual Burgers to Beat MS Day at A&W.

A&W will donate $2 from every Teen Burger sold across Canada to support Canadians living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

You can also donate online at BurgersToBeatMS.ca or round up your purchase to the nearest dollar.

Since 2008 more than $17 million has been raised to support Canadians living with MS. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with over 90,000 Canadians living with this disease.

Toronto Maple Leaf defenseman, and Chatham-Kent’s TJ Brodie and wife Amber, who was diagnosed with MS in 2016 are on board as spokespeople this year to assist Canadians to score $2 million fundraising goal towards a world free of MS.

Eggo is coming out with a special booze that pairs with waffles.

Eggo has teamed up with Sugarlands Distilling to launch a new liqueur called Eggo Brunch-in-a-Jar Sippin’ Cream.

It’s 20% alcohol, 40-proof and “seamlessly blends the flavors of toasted Eggo waffles, sweet maple syrup, and rich butter, with a hint of smoky bacon.”

This isn’t the first time Eggo has gotten drunk; For the holidays last year, they partnered with the same distillery to make Eggo Nog, which was Eggo Waffle-flavored eggnog.

Eggo Brunch-in-a-Jar is available at stores in the U.S.
