BTW, there was a Mc Donalds in Glendale in the early 50s that served something they called a hamburger that they charged 13 cents for or $1/dozen and they wern't worth half of that!

Isn't that the truth. A friend and I drove across Greater Miami, about 30 miles, to the first McDonalds, circa 1958, to try this hamburger we had heard so much about. I got a burger and a shake. ARRGH

I've eaten many McDoalds burgers since then but never had another milkshake. We were spoiled on real soda fountain food and drinks.

My favorite was the chocolate coke, had to be fountain made though.

My first portable radio used a 'B' battery and was 110 volts. It would last about 6 hrs. if I was lucky, and the batteries were about $3 each. Big money back then.

We had Hot Shoppes in Washington. I think McDonalds bought them out.
They had something like a present day Big Mac, that along with fries and an orange freeze was something like a buck and a half, and you got to keep the orange freeze glass if you wanted to.
