It's a fast food chain, found primarily in Southern California. Take
heart
in not knowing about it; I've spent practically my whole life in Texas
and
never heard of In-n-Out Burger either, until I visited Los Angeles just a
couple of years ago. It's absolutely unknown over here because we've got
Whataburger, and California folks don't.


Whataburger tried to make it out here in CA, but didn't.

There's something wrong with their time line, or else there
was another chain with the same name:
"Eventually, in 1959, Harmon Dobson would expand outside Texas with
Whataburger #21 opening in Pensacola, Florida."

I distinctly remember eating at Whataburger in Gainesville,
Florida when they opened a new store on NW 13th street in
very late 1958. At 35 cents for a full quarter-pounder, with
lots of lettuce, tomato, and onion, on a 5-inch bun, it made
a lunch within my student budget. If I was feeling particularly
rich I would top it off by going across the street and getting
a banana split for 65 cents.

Take the Ginko Biloba more often - if you can remember where you keep
it.

If you are implying that I stole it from you or something, get over
yourself.


Never said anybody STOLE it as it was done long before my time. But I
used the quote several times in a previous thread. If you can't take a
little ribbing, then you should find another group.

Oh, I'm certain he didn't mean to imply any such thing. To the
contrary, he most likely meant to imply that you stole it from
Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, or some other cess-pool of bumper-sticker
political "thought."

Your inferrence that it is original to you is indeed laughable,
though. You and the rest of the parrots of FM talk radio aren't
exactly known for originality or creativity, and with good reason.

He doesn't get any proselytizing. It's a set of tiny letters on the
inside of the bottom of a soda cup that is in 5 point type.

And if they want to put it there, that's their business. They have
every right to. Just like you have a right to overreact and not eat there.

I recall in maybe the early 70s going to a Whataburger in Los Angeles.
I don't know if it is the same chain or not. It was quite busy for a while.

White Castle also tried to come out to LA, too. They had an outlet on
Ventura Blvd. Another bust.

You mean there's only so many windmills you're willing to tilt at? For
someone who's going to rid the world of proselytization, you sure do

Um . . . yeah. That was kind of my point, my reading-challenged
friend. You don't have to support it. Don't like it? Don't eat there.
