Not to worry though: he will remain our official spokesbear. After all, he is un-bear-ably cute and im-paw-ssible to replace. We are confident Rooty will continue to champion good food &amp; good times for many years to come\u2026now in denim.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In any case, it&#8217;s nice to see the man got some pants.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A message from A&amp;W. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WGdF12TSyg\">pic.twitter.com\/WGdF12TSyg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A&amp;W Restaurants (@awrestaurants) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/awrestaurants\/status\/1617975902004019231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"January 26th is the 26th day of the year.
