  There’s just something magical about those original fast food spots—before everything went digital and drive-thru.

  Watching the segment on Dairy Queen at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l2lP2Fb5ls&amp;t=754">12:34</a> made me crave a Blizzard right away. Thanks so much to the creators for making such an engaging and nostalgic look back at the oldest fast food chains in America.

  I remember A&amp;W car hops at the drive in West Bend, WI delivering food to cars on roller skates in the 1970&apos;s. It was really unique. I miss those days. All the fast food places today can&apos;t begin to compare to the burgers back then, but then we also didn&apos;t expect them to be made and ready for us either.

  It’s crazy to think some of these chains have been around for nearly a century. True American icons!

  Who remembers Goody&apos;s and Weston&apos;s in New Jersey? Why did the food always taste better back in the 60&apos;s &amp; 70&apos;s?

  They closed the only A&amp;W near us. I wish we had White Castle here. The frozen ones are good I can only imagine how great they are fresh.

  Man, this brought back some serious memories. I still remember begging my parents for A&amp;W root beer floats after little league games. Crazy to think some of these chains have been around for nearly a century!
