When I was a teenager, they served some “burgers” at the drive-in movies, which contained little, if any, actual meat. I think they were some soybean stuff and flavoring. I loved those!
Don’t even ask what was in the Chili.............................
I remember when I was a teenager, the rumor going around then was that McDonald's hamburgers were actually made of ground-up earthworms. Much of what I can remember about that is that my immediate thoughts were "If earthworms taste that good, no wonder fish like them ..."
With all the luck that I ever had fishing .. although I really enjoy doing it .. I would have been better off skipping the middleman and just eating the worms.

We served Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill in the cars that I was usually in...
One time in North Carolina (1973ish) a college acquaintance suddenly became an acquirer of teenage sized bicycles. I asked him “wow, where did you get these bicycles?” And he replied that about a hundred yards away from the drive-in movie theater there was a field and at the end of the field by the road was a ditch and he was driving by the back of the drive-in theater and he noticed the bicycles laying in the ditch. Well, apparently the youngsters rode down to that ditch and parked their bikes and they traversed the field, and got up close enough to the screen to watch the x-rated movies being shown there. I can only imagine their faces when they got back to the ditch and their 10 or so bicycles were missing. I guess it was a windfall for my college friend. What he did with them, I did not ask. but everybody back then was short of money.
Stewart's Sandwiches microwave burgers. I don't even think they refrigerated them.
When I was in technical training at Fort Benjamin Harrison we trainees would often go into Indianapolis and have White Castle hamburger eating contests. What the heck, we were too young to drink!
