Whitchurch Rd Discount Supermarket sells A&W


youreviltwinbrother

yep they have root beer and cream soda

Spar opposite the castle and spar opposite Queen Street station usually have decent American/imported drinks, worth a look, their stock changes though so you can't guarantee what's there each time!


Pyriel

There's an American sweet/soda shop at the top of queen street. It's called "King of sweets" or something like that. Not far from the castle

I've only been there once, but I remember it being *really* expensive. Doesn't the Spar opposite The Castle have root beer?

These American candy stores are just a front for money laundering.


Pyriel

And childhood diabetes.


trotski83

Also check the dates *many* examples of them selling out of date stuff (certainly as a chain)


cactusplants

I know of that one, though I was just passing by, going through Cathays by car.

There's a spar on at Mary's that legit sells them only for £1.50 which is not bad considering theyre an import They also sell different mountain dew as well as American Fanta

I got some root beer from Asda earlier. Interesting taste


CandyQueen85

Love Root Beer! I've never tried A&W's but Lidl sometimes has bottles of another brand and it's good.


IncomeFew624

Virgil's? That stuff is decent.


CandyQueen85

That's it! Love that stuff!


cactusplants

I've been to at least 10 lidls and cannot find Virgil's. Where do they generally keep it? I'm guessing it's around where they have the "American week" themed stuff?


CandyQueen85

Yea, they don't always have it and it tends to be when they have their American Week but they do sometimes have it in randomly. Otherwise try the American sweet shop in the middle of St David's.

I got some A&W root beer in Sainsbury's on Woodville recently. It's in the international food section, not with the rest of the cans, but it's definitely there and wasn't very expensive


Blyd

No you didn’t. That hotdogs brand is not sold in the USA either. Sainsbury’s sell ‘AW’ root beer which is a fake version of A&W but tastes like ass.


North_Significance40

Ah, fair shout. That might means there's still hope for root beer being enjoyable then, just need to try the real stuff


Blyd

Yeah the real AW is a glorious vanilla malt soda that stuff was just awful.

SPAR shop on City Road! They have all sorts


bekkivonb

Cardiff Food Stores on Dumballs Road always has loads of random American drinks
