Old Drive-Ins Offered Strange Eats

Remember the old drive-in movie theater? When we were kids it was the old fashion way to watch a movie so I can't imagine what today's kids think of the few that are still scattered throughout the US. One thing is for sure, the advertisements that run prior to the movie have changed....

This is an old advertisement. It sells cigarettes, pickles, and fish sandwiches at the movies! The cigarette ad wasn't surprising given the era. But eating pickles and fish sandwiches while you watch a movie is down right strange for any decade. Good thing it was an outdoor venue!

I certainly wouldn't want to take a date if they were going to be eating pickles and fish sandwiches. Not the best aphrodesiacs! The cars must've stunk by the end of the movie!
