VANCOUVER — A&W Canada has brought back its Whistle Dog at all locations across the country for a limited time only.
The Whistle Dog is a hot dog nestled in a toasted bun, topped with relish, cheddar cheese and bacon. Celebrated as a legacy menu item, the Whistle Dog is the one A&W product that has sparked overwhelming demand from fans since its discontinuation from the permanent menu in 2017.
“We were totally caught off guard by the demand for Whistle Dogs in 2022. We sold out so quickly we had to completely halt our marketing,” says Amanda Wong, director of Marketing at A&W. “We’ve prepared a ridiculous number of wieners this time around. There’s no way we’re running out again.”
