They never got near the expiration date at my house.

Not at my house either. We loved our Chef Boyardee pizza. With 4 kids in house, it never got a chance to get old.

BTW, I was making a "you know you're old when" joke about rising difficulties when one gets older.

You remember these prices, a nickel for a cheese slice

M_Six · 10-15-2023, 07:38 AM

Hamburger, Fries, and a Coke, and change back from your dollar.

I sure do remember. When I was 10, my parents bought their 1st house. It was around the corner from McDonalds. I had never had McDs before, or any fast food actually. We would scrape around for loose change and go hang out there. Cheese burger, fries and soda for less than $1

I’m afraid I don’t recognize her in that photo. Who is she? However, I do recognize the Thunderbird with the porthole window she’s sitting in.

edit: just saw the other thread. Is that Suzanne Somers? She must have been super young in that photo.

edit to the edit: I just read that was the first thing she actually got credit for in 1973, “blonde in a T-Bird” in American Graffiti.

Think Three's Company as in Suzanne (Marie) Somers.

That image is from the movie American Graffiti (1973). One of my all-time favorite movies.

The hamburger and fries price I remember from my childhood in the mid-1950s in Montana and Wyoming was 25¢. IIRC, Coke was 10¢ extra, or 5¢ if you went outside to get it out of the cooler by the gas pumps.

My absolute fave (I know I've posted it here before

) is grandma sending us kids a dollar bill so all four of us could go to our local theater for a double-bill. That was in 1960 in San Francisco when our local movie theater was the Coliseum on 9th Ave. and Clement in the Inner Richmond District..

Saw the movie when it first came out, at the Avco Center Cinema in L.A. (Westwood). I was 18.

R BMW · 10-16-2023, 08:39 AM

Didn't know that was her but always remembered that scene from the movie.
I also had the soundtrack vinyl from AG.
