"Teen Burger, Fries & a frosty mug of Root Beer."

There used to be a XXX Drive In a few blocks from where I lived (XXX was just the name of the place and the name of their own brand of root beer. This was before "X-rated" or "XXX" meant what it means now--although in summer watching the the car-hops in shorts fed a few teen-age fantasies). Pulling into the XXX and sitting in the car with the tray on the window and scarfing down a burger, a side of fries, and a mug of root beer was true gourmet dining. McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, etc., just don't measure up to that.

Lord, Steve, you've managed to plunge me into severe nostalgia mode! I'm wrecked for the day!
