Discontinued fast food items rant

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I worked at White Stores...had to wear that bow tie and we were the last chain around to carry the groceries out to the car I think and we sold the no label generics lol View attachment 255131View attachment 255132

I simply love old B & W pictures. When I was little that's all we had to see.

Crap, forgot about Steak Escape in the food court at easttown mall. I'm sorry, but Charleys just isn't the same.

How many of y'all remember the bell beefer at Taco Bell in the 1970s which was like a Mexican sloppy joe?

Looks like that would be messy as hell. But no, I don't recall those.

Don't blame them. I dont let my kids either. I'm not paying $8 for a small drink and $6 per box of candy when I just paid like $40 for all of our tickets. Outrageous.

Tuesday is our designated movie day....5 dollar tickets and we get the yearly bucket deal for popcorn...can come out under 30 dollars for the 3 of us

I remember those green stamps you could get after every purchase. My Mom saved them up once and got a can opener

We have one movie theatre in my town but you have to purchase tickets in advance. I just wait til it comes out on Redbox now.

Just for the first one..then 4.99 afterward...I have an autistic son...it helps to have food shoved in his face so we don't have meltdowns

Lol, me too. I remember my grandma would drop me and my cousin off and give us each $10 and made sure we had a quarter for the pay phone to call her when we were ready to be picked up.

They've got some good ones at the git-n-go stations in Clinton. Used to get their egg salad sandwiches all the time. They have an actual made to order deli, but they've got good pre-made sandwiches, wraps and burgers too.

Noted.......for the next time I just might ever pass through Clinton.

All but one has drive thrus too! I'd just call and order what I wanted then go pick it up along with my smokes, beer or whatever else I wanted. Concept is genius. Only reason i miss Clinton lol. They've got some good chili dogs too. I made sure to stop by and grab some on my way home from Christmas.

Idk if they still do because I could only ever find it at food city, but sierra mist had a cranberry flavor every holiday season and it was so good.

Here's something interesting that will bring back a few fast food memories. McDonalds Roast Beef Sandwiches and Fried Chicken.

That's bull$hit, but you're right, nothing was like it was back in the good ole days. Heck, I remember you could get a free cookie at the bakery counter in the grocery store.

I never had one....I shy away from trying anything new to drink if it's not my staple......the coke.

Psst.......that was to keep you quiet and to behave yourself. Worked like a charm on me everytime.
