- 1. Why did you stop selling rootbeer? Everyone who remembers it wishes you still sold it!
-
Root beer was restricted to a small number of restaurants in 1992 due to poor sales, and stopped completely in 1993. Although there are no current plans to re-introduce Root Beer to the McDonald's UK menu, you could show your passion for it to return by contacting the Customer Service Team by email using the 'Contact Us' link at www.mcdonalds.co.uk.

-
McDonald’s stopped selling root beer some time ago as this wasn’t popular enough with UK customers to keep on the menu and this is true of the Mild Mustard dip. However, if there is a big enough demand for either of these products, then McDonald's would consider the possibility of bringing them back to the menu.

"Not enough demand" is a pathetic excuse - whatever happened to VARIETY... the ability to make a CHOICE? Every time I am forced out of lack of choice to drink cola, and everytime I do, I feel like I'm bashing my head against a wall. I'm not coming back to McDonalds until you bring back root beer.

Also, to clarify - you responded to another correspondent whose question pertained to Root Beer and you inferred that it was alcoholic - it wasn't - it's a soft drink. I thought you knew your menu!
-
Thanks for pointing out the mistake – that particular question got an answer intended for another question about beer. McDonald’s stopped selling root beer some time ago as this wasn’t popular enough with UK customers to remain on the menu. However new drinks which have proved popular such as Tropicana orange juice and semi-skimmed organic milk have been added to the menu to give customers more choice and variety.
