When I was a kid and went to McDonald's, they offered:
1) Coke
2) Root beer
3) Orange
4) Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate Milk Shakes
The coke and rootbeer were housed in big Bavarian kegs; the orange swished around in a big glass bowl, and the shakes were put on a spindle, after squirting the flavour and filling it with ice cream.
Now Dr. Pepper offers Diet Vanilla Cherry Dr. Pepper.
As the old ad for Va. Slims used to say: "You've come a long way, baby."
P.S. Who'd a thunk it?

That's true. And a burger, fries, and a small Coke cost 57 cents.

"Sea Dad," was one of my mgrs. when I worked at the "Happy Place," long before the advent of Ronald McDonald.
"But 'Sea Dad,' why do I have to clean the shitters?"
"We all take turns cleaning the shitters, v.c."
I swear I had a manager named Harry Cox. He was a rough and tough hombre. You took your life in your own hands if you questioned the origin of his name.
Allah, " a boy named Sue."

Cleaning the shitters: Priceless!
Yep, another brick in the stall, as you say. My first mgr, was a hard-ass too. He was into the job, big-time. Even when he was off, he would park up on a hill next to the Happy Place, with his binoculars, and watch us (night-shift) as we labored away. Here's a coupla names u might remember from Rowdy High, that were 2 of my "swing managers" when I worked there... Bobby McClendon, might have been in your graduating class?, and Walter Banks, played cornet in band, but was 1 year younger than I, so u might not remember him. This was the Micky D's on Stewart Ave, near Shakee's Pizza, 72 Lanes bowling alley, Funtown, etc. I'm guessing you worked across from the fed pen.?
I did too, later on.
