It was a big treat to be taken to the A&W Root Beer stand in my home town for a root-beer float. Yum. Sad to say, that stand is long gone. The nearest A&W outlet is in a Shell mini-mart several miles from where the stand once stood. “Progress” is too often regress.

Our idea of a big treat was when Dad took us to McDonald’s. This was back in the days when a hamburger cost 15 cents, and there was no indoor seating — you went inside and got your food, then you ate it in your car. The fact that we only got to do it maybe a couple of times a year made it an even bigger treat.

I remember when the sign at McDonald’s said “5 million sold.”

I may be just a cynical soul, but doesn’t “Keen” just look like Kool Aid? By the way, make the lady sniffing the just-opened coffee look like a granny and that would be me.

“Keen” seems to have been Nestle’s version of Kool-Aid. My mother always bought Kool-Aid, so I don’t think I ever actually tasted Keen. I probably wouldn’t have noticed the difference if I had, though. I wasn’t what you’d call a very discerning consumer in my youth.

Good old A&W Root beer floats, they were so good.

Nowadays the local doctor would tell you that just looking at those ads will shorten your life expectancy.
