Time moves pretty fast. Speaking of those days, I'm probably the last 20th century kid who still remember everything, before 21st century.

Man!x SG

haha.. who remembers the A&W at lau pa sat? last time used to have leh.

Me! Clementi too. I always thought the world is going to end when i heard A&W shut down. Now i get my fix when i pop by JB once in a multi-colored moon.

I was from Silat Primary-one of the first pri sch in SG. It closed in 1991.

What??? You mean no more A&W in Singapore?

What about the one on Thompson Road near Lake View Estate? What about the one in AMK central?

Do they at least sell the root beer? I loved how they used to serve it in the restaurant in chilled mugs. Then ppl would try to steal the mugs home.

and who remembers those funny and weird pencils. where the refils are like little 2 cm bullets.

Then can push and refil the pencil leads from the top of the pencil.

Closed down ages ago. I think the last A&W outlet to go was the AMK one. You can still buy A&W root beer in canned or bottled form from supermarts but without the chilled mugs served at the restuarant,

also remember the first few liquid paper.

like one small bottle, with a cap and brush. Then slowly paint the words away.

and it stinks badly too.

Man!x SG

You still can get that now. Back then if you have the "shaker" pencil, you part of the cool crowd.

I rmb back in pri sch days which was long long time ago... ppl bring gameboy (1990s' psp) to sch and show off...

Boomslang4829 SG

Damn, that's sad. I remember they were the first to offer culry fries back in the day.

Here in the US, A&W is mostly found in the more ulu towns...pretty weird.
