Great photo of Vince having what looks to be coffee and a bowl of cereal.

Countdown to the old foggies (I see Patler, pbmax and KYPack are online, you guys are ancient, right?) starting with the "I've eaten there" and the "25 cents for a hamburger? I remember when" stories :tup:

[pbmax]

Get your elbows off the table Coach!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Sneezer's, great name. Rhymes with Geezers. To keep with the Patler, pbmax and KYpack theme.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Get your elbows off the table Coach!

I don't think he does. He has his forearms on the table, but that counts as not having your elbow on the table in my book.

I REMEMBER - a place on State Street in Madison that had a bunch of pinball machines, and sold 10-cent burgers that were mostly bun with very little meat and nothing else. 1960s.

That's enough backtalk out of you young man. Off to your chores!

Why in my day, we had to throw a rock through a pine woods and try to bounce off trees while one kid yelled 'bing' every time a tree was hit.

You had trees? Rich boy...

[Freak Out]

I used to ski 20 miles to get to a restaurant that had a pinball machine.

I used to ski 20 miles to get to a restaurant that had a pinball machine.What villiage did you grow up at? Or where you out in the sticks?

[Iron Mike]

I kinda remember that place being on Ashland Ave.....before the viaduct.

Was it uphill both ways?

[KYPack]

Green Bay was always a road trip for me, but I thought I'd eaten at all the good burger and shake places.

Sneezers?

Don't remember even hearing about that joint.

[George Cumby]

Man, I want me that Sneezers hamburger with my choice of mustard, catsup and onions. For $0.25, what a deal!

Sneezer’s Snack Shop
Sneezer’s Snack Shop at 1608 S. Greenwood (now Ashland) Avenue in the early 1950s. Vince Lombardi often ate breakfast here on his way to the practice field. The left half of the building was the restaurant, and the right half of the building was the Jahnke family home. On game day, Sneezer’s was a defacto tailgating site, 1960s style. During the 60s, tailgating at the stadium did not enjoy the popularity that it does today.

My mouth is watering looking at the Sneezer's menue.

I recall a place near Exibition Park (Harness Racing) in Saint John, NB... back around 1962 that had a price of 10 cents on a hot dog. A milkshake cost 25 cents. Fish and chips cost all of 35 cents.

If Mae and I go careful tonight... supper will cost between $25-30$ in Greenfield Park, Quebec.

Nice find Gness! I'm gonna have that printed for the sports room, maybe out a fake sig in it.

[red]

cheeseburger, fries and a shake for 75 cents

fuck me, our current time sucks ass. that would run you about 8 bucks and Mcdonalds today

[gbgary]

yup...love the prices. those were the days. a double-meat whataburger w/cheese (and jalapenos) here in dfw is $5 and some change...worth it though.

[KYPack]

I think most of the sigs are fake.

At least all the coaches autographs are done by the same hand & it looks like that same person signed for most of the players.

[Cleft Crusty]

That's an exciting picture and thread all-around. Nothing captures the thrill of the National Football League like a picture of a coach sipping coffee at a diner counter (though it is better than the thrill of murder in the cases of Hernandez and Ray Lewis).

I did enjoy the "Healthful Buttermilk" sign in the background - reminds me of the cause of my first coronary.

Also, I still own a sport coat just like Ol' Vince is wearing. Hope to be wearing it the next time I die.

[Guiness]

You can't fool us Crusty, we know that's you in the backround wearing an Ivy cap, sipping a cup of coffee and hoping Vince lets drop a juicy detail!

LOL - sugar cubes. Been a while since I've seen one of those. Used to be a staple in restaurants, but seem to have disappeared in favour of little paper packets. I guess they don't lose as many to kids sucking on them!

From my extensive experience in the food services industry I can tell you that it was the flies landing on the cubes that led to the demise of that form of sucrose distribution. The pouring containers still exist, but those get all sticky in humid weather and from kids sucking on the spout. Thus, the sugar packets.

Can you get me Clark Griswold's autograph?

Finish what you are doing first.

I'm hoping to improve on the non-nutritive cereal varnish

Back then a cheeseburger tasted like it had real beef and cheese in it.
