Maryrrf - oh love those fresh Limeades! My soda jerking days were 1978 to summer of 1982. My fave drink besides an Egg Cream was the Cherry Phosphate! Has anyone mentioned those yet?


Soda Fountains also used to be the one place where you could get a damn fine sandwich. One of the Chicken Salad recipes I use comes from my days as a Soda Jerk. I remember we used to sometimes eat grilled chiicken salad with cheese! I couldn't eat such a thing nowadays - too heavy. I do miss the grilled cheese with ham though - can't find a good aged ham like that now. WE'd had a huge aged ham and just carve off slices for the grilled cheese or hunks to dice for ham salad.
