Bad A & W root beer batch?
- - Unusual taste in several bottles from the same eight-pack.
- - A different eight-pack bottle tasted fine earlier.
- - Labels are hard to read.
I have managed to purchase an eight pack of 12 oz bottles of A & W Root Beer. Yesterday at Sunday lunch my son said that his root beer tasted strange.
I open another bottle and took a drink it and he was right. It did taste weird. He said that a couple of weeks ago at Sunday lunch the same happened but he didn't want to say anything and he got a different bottle from a different eight pack and it was fine. It is like some ingredient is missing'
It is hard to read the information on the bottle, but it looks identifying info says MAY0726CB51111 and 1112 all in same eight pack.
I am concerned and thinking that we are not the only ones that noticed this issue and I thought you should be aware.
The root beer would have been purchased at Walmart in Anderson, Indiana.
Of course, we will not continue to drink the root beer from the same eight pack.
We would like to know what could have possibly happened to the root beer.

- - They seek nutritional details for A&W Zero Sugar Root Beer.
- - They want to know if the caramel coloring contains phosphates and the exact amount.
I want to know about the nutritional information on your A & W Zero Sugar Root Beer. Im on renal dialysis and am concerned as to whether this product contains phosphates in the caramel coloring and if so how much?
- Good taste low calorie
- Possible phosphate content and possible 4-methylimidazole content
Preferred solution: The information I had requested given by a credible understandable voice and an email document that I could have confidence in

Flat can of soda
- - Reported a can in a 12-pack with no pressure and no carbonation.
- - Chatted with a bot; asked to enter credit card information to join.
My issue is trivial however, for the company to not respond or provide acceptable path for resolution or care one bit about their customers ... I can only say, I won't be patronizing (any of) the brand.
Things happen, but when a company fails to make good ... I'm done with them.
I tried to contact A&W root beer to report 1 can in a 12-pack that had no pressure and no carbonation when opened. I chatted with a bot and was then directed to 'just answer' and required to enter my credit card information to join.
Are you serious??? I'm going out of my way to make you aware of an issue, and I have to pay???
That's not going to happen. There are too many other brands for me to patronize with that way of thinking.
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don't buy A&W

- - The can was sealed but empty.
- - Bar code 780** ***** *; AW-1044 ICHC.00325n; tab H220G.
- - Regular flavor with sugar; compensation requested for a free coupon.
The can was sealed but empty. The bar code is780** ***** * and AW-1044 ICHC.00325n. the tab number is H 220 G.
Another number is which is in a box is 507 19 D2 RA652 Also it is the regular flavor with sugar I think I should be compensated with a free coupon.
- It is great in taste
- None except in this case
Preferred solution: How about a coupon for a free 12 pack.
I'm sorry that I missed your earlier email. I'd still like a result of my comment maybe with a free coupon for a 12 pack. Otherwise we will continue to enjoy your products.

One can was leaking, the clerk removed it and got me a new 12pkg. When we got home, my husband said there was one leaking in another carton. Package was soft and wet.
I opened it there was one can almost completely drained. When l inspected it ,it had a pin size hole on the side.

Bad soda
- - The diet root beer was flat and disappointing.
- - It turned me away from A&W Diet Root Beer Zero.
- - I usually buy them from Walmart or Food 4 Less.
I purchased a 6 pack of a and w diet rootbeer zero. The soda was so flat i couldn't believe it.
I was so disappointed. I usually get them from Walmart or food 4 less.
It totally turned me against the rootbeer which is my favorite because its caffeine free, and tadte good. Not anymore.
User's recommendation: Look for expiration date because I couldn't find it and I bought this from cvs in Compton, ca

Foreign object in my can of A&W root beer
- - The phone number isn't operational.
- - I went through the code and calling process.
- - I found a foreign object in an A&W root beer can; I want to discuss it.
I tried calling and went through the entire process of obtaining a code, acquiring the phone number, and initiating the call, only to find out that your phone number is not operational at this time and I am unable to make the call. I have been purchasing A&W root beer for some time and found a foreign object in one can that I'd like to discuss with you.
I am not sure what I need to do. I will keep trying to call but am very disappointed.
- Great taste quality control of cans would be a con

Can opening fail
- - Pull-tabs on the last two 12-packs are hard to open.
- - Hammering is needed to open the cans.
- - Loves the product, but the opening method may hurt hands.
The last two 12-packs of A&W cans have given me a problem to open. The pull-top does not open, but has to be hammered to break through the metal opening.
I love the product, but I'm afraid this method may cause harm to my hands.
The product number on the carton is 2:240T2IA H4244****. The can number is H4244 0T2 and the date code is 12/17.
Preferred solution: how come we can't open thies cans??
