Arby's is buying Wendy's! :aok
Thats good, I love their roast beef, but theres none anywhere near where I live (we have one about 10 miles from my college here).
-
Do you remember when Arby's actually cut the roast beef that were roasting in their ovens in front of you and make your sandwich? Or am I dating myself by stating this.... :O

Bet some of you kids never been to a Drive In movie either. In a station wagon with pillows and blankets in back. Sharing the bottled Coke, Popcorn and Good-n-Plentys.
Todays kids are spoiled.

I know of 2 not far from my house. They can be fun as long as the bugs aren't too bad.
There are still a few Root Beer places that will serve you at your car. There is an old A&W place near me that I used to go to after hockey when I was little, I loved that place, the food was awesome.

Bugs actually are a hidden source of Protien.

Even the little town of 660 people I grew up in (Hugo, Minn) had an A&W drive in. Very fond memories of it. Forest Lake (larger town just 10 miles north) had a DOUBLE sided drive in. Woot! Very fond memories of dripping ice cream in the back seat of Dad's new car and getting hollared at for it. :D

Collecting lightning bugs in a jar. Tellin lil girls that the bats were out and they'd make a nest in their hair. Cowboys were the good guys and you always died if you were an Indian.
Dale and Roy... no not the AH guys... the Evans. The Hardy Boys and just nibbling on a Big Boy burger sittin infront of the TV with newspaper spread out in case you spilt something.

Ohhh and remember when McDonalds used to make REAL chocolate shakes?
The crap they try to pass as a Choc shake is nothing more then brown vanilla ice cream

The back row------> Mother of invention. :)
Popping the back seat from the clips on a `65 Mustang and keeping a pad in the trunk to fill in what little space it gained you to .......... errr ummmm recline in. Hated that fricken POS.
`63 SS Chevy. Now that was some back row luxury. I called mine Notell Motel. ;)
`61 Vette. Hehe...still have scars.
Didn`t they used to show movies at those things also? :)
I hope Arby`s doesn`t make the food poisoning mandatory at the Wendy`s also.

Now who didn't go to A&W and try to ... um... collect.... the frosty real glass mugs.
-
... First Ron Paul says some of the dumbest things ever uttered by a man thus losing my support, to this?
I don't know how much more I can handle. Wendy's is THE GREATEST mass chain fast food. If they change in the slightest, I am going to freak.
-

You mean the roast beef didn't come in "paste" form from a tube back in the day? :huh
-
Finally, I won't have to be subjected to quality fresh food from Wendy's anymore. I'm looking forward to sickly meat and maybe even a Jamocha Frosty! Ooooh, yuu..<gag>...umm..eh.

Back in the Days we had Chocolate Icecream and Vanilla..then Strawberry and we were happy for it.

Ahhhh the memories.
At the Dollaries at the Range (3 movies at $1 per person) we'd take a carton and get drunk during the first get busy during the second and sober up for the drive to the Strand (on the seashore) during the third.
Kickin' back in the Hatchback Torana with the girl of the moment steamin up the windows....
The only thing we didn't have was the trays but I do remember them from the older drive-ins at Brissy :aok
Oh, and Rip
So is Man Chowder for that matter...doesn't mean that my wife will eat it though :huh :O
Pineapple juice can be your friend, evidentially it makes a huge improvement in the flavour department.:aok

I was a little too tall
Couldve used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my 60 chevy
Workin on mysteries without any clues
Workin on our night moves
Tryin to make some front page drive-in news
Workin on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime
We werent in love, oh no, far from it
We werent searchin for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin by the sword
And we`d steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin our share
Workin on our night moves
Tryin to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin on our night moves
And it was summertime
And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Aint it funny how the night moves
When you just dont seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

Now who didn't go to A&W and try to ... um... collect.... the frosty real glass mugs.
I remember the A&W in my home town would sell them for around .50 cents or so if you bought it with a meal. We had a ton of those mugs in my house growing up. My Dad and I would stop at the A&W all the time coming home from fishing and get a burger, fries, and root beer float. He'd always pay the extra buck and keep the mugs.
Of course I remember when Sonic Drive In, was the place to hang out and the car-hops were on roller skates. Good times in small town Oklahoma growing up.

jakal.. that is one of my favorite songs.
You had a '61? I had a ratty '59 with a pumped up 292 and a four speed with hurst linkage... great times.

-
I miss the old days when at McDonalds you walked up to the big window and ordered your food because there was no eat-in area or drive thru.
As kids, the folks would take us to A&W root beer and everyone would get an 8 oz mug. Thank goodness we lived right on Lake Michigan because this was the days before air conditioning in cars.
Roast Beef rocks....I am happy they are thriving as a business.

Lazs, I didn't own a vette, but my first car in 1975 that I bought was a 1961 Olds Dynamic 88 that had a 442 dropped in it (by the previous owner) I put glass packs on it and drove it to town ("town" consisted of a population of 660 people) and got pulled over at midnight by a sheriff. I was 15 with only a farmers permit. :lol He made me drive it back home and followed me. (My mom had divorced and she was out of town) That car had some get-up-and-go with that 442 in it! Fond memories.
Here is a pic of me at age 15 installing speakers in the back of the Olds, yeah, I had hair then...:D

ahhh the memories there....my folks used to take us kids out to MacDonalds on Friday night...walk up joint like that...had bench seats outside along the sides...and the hamburgers were 15 cents!
Remember they used to have the actual number sold posted on their sign...now it says "Billions and Billions" or some such...
Joker
-
Remember the commercials on tv? "McDonalds, where you can get change back from your dollar"? Small fry, small drink, one regular hamburger for less than a buck with tax?
Also, after church on Sunday Nights, mom would get a couple of big bags O'burgers...and she'd let us eat the fries on the way home because they'd get cold otherwise....no microwaves back then.
First it was "Mr S" on Lewis Avenue in Waukegan, Then it was "Henry's" down on Washington...after they went out of business mom actually ponied up for Burger King.
Wow...I'm OLD and it is the SUXXOR!
ROX
PS-- Most kids I know did what we all called the "Chicago Hamburger". You pulled 10 to 15 of the longest french fries out and put them on top of the hamburger meat and then put ketchup on top of that before closing the bun.

actually i have been to a drive in movie plenty of times. There is one still operating about 45 min from my house. You get to see 2 movies for 5 bucks. I would rather go there.

as a matter of fact last night me and 5point and my bro and his lady went to a drive in to eat.. we got out to sit at the table since it was nice out.. still have the trays that hook on the windows and the frosted mugs... so nice...

You can still get the old fashioned "drive in" experience at Sonic. Window trays and everything.
Some people say Sonic has gone downhill, but I think it's just a matter of where you go. The ones here in Hot Springs, AR do just fine, thank you!

It's mainly a southern thing. I can't imagine a "drive-in" burger joint doing big business anywhere it snows or gets really cold in the winter. Who wants to eat in their car when your fries got stoney cold on the way to your car?
Yeah...definitely a southern thing.
Sonic has KILLER Jalepeno Poppers and Onion Rings! They come to your car at about 14,000 degrees Celcius and you are chowing it down with a Cherry/Lime Ade...then, while other chains are "sizing down" their burgers & buns, Sonic is still as big as ever!
Oooops...I gotta go...wife says UPS just brought my case of Boetjes Hot Brown Mustard...gonna be German Night tonight so I gotta go make German Potato Salad!

They aren't that great around here. Not horrible, but not some where I'd want to eat very often.

they are good enough for a milkshake, a banana split, or a sundae when the weather gets hot and you hankering for something sweet and cool.

Yeah....had a`61. Loved it.
Had a guy that had moved to our little town and had been there for a few years.
He was known as a master trader/buyer. He took no prisoners when it came to anyones pocket book. :)
He did some business with my Dad and he took a liking to me for some reason and I could always get some great deals from him. I think it had something to do with my "Kiss no butts for anything" attitude. It was pretty rare in this little town.
He pulled into my Dad`s place one day in the `61 Vette. He walked in , threw me the keys and said he had brought me something.
His brother had bought the Vette new in Cali and hardly ever drove it. It stayed mostly stored in his garage. Never been off pavement.
My friend got it from him and brought it to Texas. He said it "fit" me. :)
It had 14000 miles on it when I got it. I ended up giving him either $1300.00 or $1400.00 for it. :) Can`t remember which.
Was the only car that I have ever owned that I didn`t get tired of.
Was just as much fun to drive everytime as it was the first.
Totaled it out eventualy. Still miss that ride.

True, I do enoy their fountain drinks on a regular basis.
-
I'm a little disappointed to have seen that. I'm not particularly fond of Wendy's food. Their commercial advertisements, on the other hand, are by far the funniest I've seen (well, them & DQ).
But my boss brings me a frosty if she thought I was having a bad day. Those are tops, and so was my boss. :aok

I just changed my mind. i now dislike Arby's. I ate a sandwich their yesterday, and I've been going back and forth to the can since. :cry
