Man, what a bunch of pups.

If you guys want to know anything, like what Blackjack gum tastes like or the last thing I bought with S&H Green Stamps just let me know.

I hated those metal ice trays. I still have some in the basement. They suck.

They were sold as candy. They were about half the size of your little (pinkie) finger. Just a sip of sweet liquid. The hardcore kids would pop the whole thing in their mouth and chew it like gum.

They (whoever "they" are) used to make all kinds of things out of wax and fill them with sugar water. Why? I dunno. It was a dumb time back then and there was no such thing as satellite TV or Charlize Theron to occupy our time.

I remember the root beer flavored ones. I also remember Pastrami with lots of fat. I remember going to a deli and getting a steamed sandwitch loaded with hot pastrami , musturd and dill pickles. Yum!

I'm "getting older". But some of those shouldn't count. Because new diners are putting in those jukeboxes at the tables...and some places still have Drive-In's.

Yikes !!!!

I got 24!! Well I remember 8 as well, but like lugnut said, that really shouldn't be on the list.

I haven't heard any of them mentioned for such a long time, I pretty much forgot all about them, until I saw the list.

Wow.... Time sure does fly when you're having fun!

Cheers

Are you talking about drive-in theaters or drive-in burger joints, or both?

There aren't any drive-in theaters around here as far as I know, but there are Sonic burger joints. I like taking the BelAir or Chevelle there for greaseburgers on occasion. Their food is better than the other fast food burger places and the service certainly is better.

I think I read somewhere that Texas has the most drive-in theaters still in operation.

I'll bet there are still some of both along Rte 66.
