It was chocolate, vanilla and strawberry in one cone as I recall.

Ahh that makes sense. I wonder when they stopped serving that item. I absolutely remember their regular sundaes and ate them all the time as a kid, especially with caramel sauce and chopped nuts. Yum.

LOL, roadside anything! As in, taking a leak behind bush!

Me: "Dad, I gotta go."

Dad: "You can hold for a while."

Me (15 minutes later): "Dad, I really gotta go!"

Dad: "We're almost there (30 minutes later)."

Me: Now hopping on one foot with a prostrate cramp (and I didn't even know what a prostrate was back then).

I remember that. "The time is 6:54, exactly."

Edit: actually, it was "at the tone the time will be 6:54, exactly. Beep!"

Yeah, that was a fun show to watch, except for Alan's unfortunate surname.

One of the first reality shows.

In a nod to more modern times, they were finally forced to stop calling that stuff "ice cream." Same with their "milk shakes." (Although I may be behind the times on the "ice cream" front.)

With the malt vinegar...yum...😋

At least while they still used Icelandic cod. They switched to pollock in '79 when they sold to Mrs. Paul's and it was downhill from there.

In some situations, just walking past the rabbit ears could improve or degrade TV reception quality.
