As I believe I’ve mentioned before, as a child I found spaghetti sauce too spicy 🌶️ and I don’t understand y’all peppers people

They did indeed! They had cute little Tabasco bottles in appropriate rations which really helped post-war sales.

Oh I bet you had a blast! A convention AND an estate sale? I hope you got some bargains!

I think that their choice of kiddie menu illustration tells us everything we need to know about their thought process

Thanks, Joe! This is fascinating new information!

I absolutely have read the Outlander books and was tickled that my family was part of the resistance

I had to walk a mile each day to high school and it was slightly uphill. I brought this up every time they wanted a ride somewhere reasonably close

I freaking love genealogy.
I was telling my kid a great etc grandfather was beheaded for talking smack about Henry VI and he said “didn’t you tell me about him last week?” I said “No! Last week was the grandpa hanged in the Regulators Revolt in NC for not signing fealty to the Crown”

U.S. measles cases continue to climb, with outbreaks across the country

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.

I’m so glad you enjoy the menus! I learn something new from every one, in this instance I’ve learned about catsup vs ketchup

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a HoJo’s

Marcie8🎃8 @marcie808.bsky.social · 14h

Kid: Is that because you work on the chuck wagon?
Chucky: What?

Marcie8🎃8 @marcie808.bsky.social · 14h

Okay this is a super cool menu. I’m not sure how many kids were into fonts and calligraphy back in the day but props to HoJo’s for daring to be artsy.

Point of order: When were hotdogs ever called frankforts? And why is the turkey as expensive as the clams?

Yes, it was very popular especially in the 50s and 60s. Clowns were more common but I’ve seen a similar cowboy before too
