For many Americans, the name Howard Johnson's evokes memories of road trips and family meals. Today, the name is most synonymous with hotel chains, but HoJo's once dominated the dining scene of our country. At its peak in the 1960s and 1970s, there were around 1,000 Howard Johnson's restaurants alongside our motorways. It's no wonder that Mad Men set an episode in one of their sherbet-colored diners. With its bright Florida-like colors and ultra modern ranch design, HoJo's was the ultimate place to pop in for a burger and ice cream in the midcentury.
Here are some things you might remember about the chain.
1. HoJo's touted its 28 flavors of ice cream.
Let's see
There was Banana, Black Raspberry, Burgundy Cherry, Butter Pecan, Buttercrunch, Butterscotch, Caramel Fudge, Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Coconut, Coffee, Frozen Pudding, Fruit Salad, Fudge Ripple, Lemon Stick, Macaroon, Maple Walnut, Mocha Chip, Orange-Pineapple, Peach, Peanut Brittle, Pecan Brittle, Peppermint Stick, Pineapple, Pistachio, Strawberry, Strawberry Ripple and Vanilla. Which would you order?
