oh excuse me I must have made a wrong turn from vintage to ancients forum.

 

That's okay, we don't mind if old folks join us.

 

One pharmacy in my little home town featured a Mexican sundae. (Not to be confused with a New Mexican sundae.) Vanilla ice cream served in a tall sundae glass, topped with peanuts and chocolate syrup and garnished with two strawberry wafer cookies. 25 cents and worth every penny.

Seneca Farms, for my money the best ice cream shop around, served a banana split with four large scoops of ice cream, flavors of your choice, topped with four different syrups, crushed peanuts, whipped cream and a cherry. It was served in a cardboard pig trough and if you finished it you got a pin that said "I was a pig at Seneca Farms.".

 

They all broke.

 

OMG I hated orange shag rugs when they were in style.....

 

I had a 71 Dodge van with orange shag interior. It was way cool.

 

Sounds exactly like the dairy in my home town of Gowanda, NY...(about 35 miles south of Buffalo)...a place called Farner & Parkers. Had the same sundae and pigs dinner with the pin saying " I was a pig at Farner & Parkers" They were yellow with red writing. The place closed probably in the 80's. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210558985666806&set=g.19919503680 4614&type=1&ifg=1

I know Gowanda. I worked for a summer at camp Ta-Wa-Ya-Ee (BSA) over near Holland on Rt 16. The camp was sold back in the 80s when the Buffalo Area Council merged with the Niagara Frontier Council.

 

^^^I used to go to the stock car races at Holland Speedway. Small world!
