Feeling nostalgic

There is still a Mugs Up in Columbia. Chili buns were 40 cents when I was in college. They are still in KC as well. Guaranteed to generate enough gas to drive to Pittsburg.

Hard to believe but I remember. 65 years ago I rode my bike 4 miles into town to go to MacDonalds with a dollar in my pocket. I think burgers were around $ ,20 at the time. Fries were .15. The price list below was around my first year in the Air Force when my monthly pay was less than $100

Joined Army in 1964 Pvt E-1 $78.00, E-2 $85.00, E-3 $99.00, E-4 $122.00

I'm old enough to remember the McDonald's ad on TV that said you could get two hamburgers, fries and a coke and "Something you haven't seen for a while. Change back from your dollar."

This shows up? I hope.

That same waitress was HOT when I was in High School. Just saying.

we had not only Mc Donalds but also Burger Chef, later to be bought out by the Burger KIng company
yes, burgers were around 20¢, fries were cheap too (cannot recall the pricings) the burgers were cooked well, and were not assembled like crap.

always fast service, but no dine-in seating area as i recall, till later years

milk shakes were also super thick at Mc Donalds

if it weren't for what happens to me when i have milk..??

i'd down 2 of them right now

here is a pic of the Burger Chef...later to be sold to Hardee's , not Burger King like i originally thought.

apparently General Foods owned the Burger Chef places. now Kraft owns the former General Foods

Got me there KillerFord. Before I was married and still swimming in the dating pool I had a rule never to date a girl that had let herself go like I had! That and never date a woman old enough to be my wife.
