Hot & Now.. that brings up memories.
Does anyone else remember $0.39 Hamburgers, fies and pop?
That was middle school time for me.. so maybe 16 years ago or so. Wow. I can remember walking home from middle school and collecting dropped change from drive-through windows, then handing that to the person at the window to get a tasty meal. And yes, I /walked/ through the drive-through when I was in middle school. They didn't have a walk-up (that I knew of) window, so that was the most logical thing to do.
When I was older, and just a year or two out of high-school, I seem to recall them being quite inexpensive still. Perhaps not to the extent of $0.39, but I digress. So one day, my girl-friend was in town (who lived in California then, as I did soon-after, but that's another story) so I said that I was going to take her out to a great meal here in good 'ol Michigan. My brother, her and I were in Chartucky, so I told her to close her eyes. We drive up to the restaurant and made our order. She didn't know what hot & now was, so it was still a sort-of-surprise - even when she heard me order. hah! We then collected a fine feast for three, for what seems to be under $10.00. She was actually quite delighted with the quantity and quality of food, especially at that price. Of course, Premium fuel was $0.99 a gallon then too.
She thought a surprise meal at a very inexpensive drive-through while blind-folded was cool. Damn, I miss that girl!!
