If your e-mail addy is an accurate indication, you're in
Oregon -- drive up to Shelton, WA and hit Nita's Coffeeshop
on Railroad Avenue. They're only open on weekdays (breakfast
and lunch) but they make old fashioned hamburgers, shakes,
and yes, malts...

Hmm, 1965... you're still a spring chicken... I remember 75¢ minimum wage
(1950)... and most fountain ice cream concoctions were 10¢... hand dipped sugar
cones were a nickle. It's funny how all ice cream back than was "premium", and
now folks act like it was just invented last month. In 1950 there was no
pre-packaged ice cream, it was all hand dipped... usta get a gill of Dolly
Madison packed to the flaps for 10¢.

Minumum wage wasn't $1.25 until 1963, then went down to $1.15 in 1964, and back
up to $1.25 in 1965. In 1950 the minimum wage reached 75¢, then went to $1 in
1956.

Hah! We used to get a "Chop Suey Sundae" - 5 scoops
of ice cream, 5 toppings, whipped cream, nuts, and
a cherry - for $.50.

Nope. Not only could you get a large malt glass filled with the shake/malt,
they'd usually leave you the stainless container in which it was made, and which
usually contained a third again as much.

> And decent-sized cones were $.10.

You could also get a cherry, lemon or chocolate coke for $0.10.

In 1950 $10,000/per yr was typical MD's salary, and they made house calls at $4
a pop... and ran a tab... no one had medical insurance then. In 1950 minimum
wage was 75¢/hr, the typical skilled worker considered $2.50/hr excellent
wages... a brand new fully loaded Chevy cost $600 (fully loaded meant car mats
and an AM radio)... no car loans, certainly no leasing. Typically only MDs,
funeral parlors, pimps, and mafiosa drove Caddies... hey, things don't really
change. In 1950 there were no credit cards, no one was in debt, not any more
than their tab at the corner grocery; for a 10¢ bread, 30¢ for a pound of
bologna, 14¢ for a quart of milk, and 25¢ for two packs of Luckies. And
Dugan's still delivered... no one ever made better cup cakes and chocolate chip
cookies, not to this very day.

I actually discovered the malt when I moved to Iowa to attend college.
Generally, most Dari-Barn-esque establishments will have them (of
varying quality, but all with that malty goodness). Now that I am
living in Chicago, I am at a loss as to where to find a good
one...However, if you ever find yourself in Iowa City, give Whitey's a
try. They have a fabulous selection of flavors!

In the 1950's HALF of $10K would buy you a very nice house.
When my husband graduated from college in engineering in 1966,
the going wage for new engineers in aerospace was ~$8000.

Yep, and phosphates were 15¢. Most places, ice cream was 5¢ a dip.

Minimum wage? I dunno. I was 7 yo in 1952.

Wow. I've been watching this thread and remembering my youth. You can get
a malt in any flavor you choose. They just add the malt powder. I can't
tell you how many chocolate malts helped embellish the fine flavor of a
cheeseburger and fries at the drive in. Those WERE the days!

At Pizza Bob's I liked the banana/strawberry and banana/chocolate, always malts
and never shakes. Plain vanilla just never did it for me.

That is so weird. I had dusty roads but nobody I ever met had ever heard of
them. These were served at the soda fountain at Truan's Chocolates in the late
60's, early 70's in Dearborn Hts. MI. Truan's is still there, still with the
fountain. Did some of your family move there with the recipe? I went to their
site, which hardly has any information now, and saw that they were founded in
1929.

We have a bunch of those, too! Never tried it. I assume, if you like it,

I can't remember liking KFC since the late 1950s. I really liked it then.
IMHO, the decine of the quality and taste of KFC began when they left the
true restaurant setting and became fast food "outlets".

You are most likely speaking of Col. Sander's Chicken. When the old
man sold the business and name, he handed down his recipe, too.

However, the new owners cut corners and the chicken no longer tasted
as it had before. The Colonel barred the new owners legally from
using his name and the name changed to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

To the best of what I remember, that's the story. The original
Colonel Sanders chicken was wonderful, the KFC is really bad.

I make my own, when I allow myself to have one. Ovaltine is a malted
beverage powder. Just make a malted milk with your blender using about 3
Tbsp of ovaltine added to it.

Mmmmmm, Popeye's. That's one of only two fast food places I'll

I haven't looked for Ovaltine in a very long time,
but in the U.S. when I was a kid there were two

available now.
