“Howard Johnson’s restaurants originally started as a single location opened by Howard Deering Johnson in 1925 and grew into a substantial restaurant chain in the decades that followed.” Click his name to see what he looked like
“…, his favorite food was ice cream, which he maintained was “not fattening.” He ate at least one cone a day, and he kept 10 distinct flavors in the freezers of his seven-room Manhattan penthouse and at his home in Milton Massachusetts”
The 28 flavors as this sticker shows. Available here Teepublic
I would choose coffee.
No more Howard Johnson’s ice cream!
I love old ads, they can be so amazing. I have a book full of them. Some are really funny too. How times change.
Yes you’re so right. Times do change thank you Leanne. I bet yours are really interesting.
Great story on his business adventure. Love the old ads.
Thanks Carrie. Nostalgia for sure
Interesting article on HJ. He really made it big. I would choose banana. dc
I’m sorry I didn’t try more flavors. Thanks dc
Pistachio for me.
Oh yes. I’d like pistachio too
I don’t recall ever going to a Howard Johnson’s. Maybe there were none in Minnesota, or at least rural Minnesota.
I know they started in Boston area. Thanks Audrey.
I used to love eating at Howard Johnson’s.
