In northern NJ, we are seeing Gino's becoming Triggerburgers overnight.
(i.e., Roy Rogers). Actually, I find it difficult to detect the change,
other than cosmetically....
 
This raises an anecdote, though... The last Burger Chef in the central
NJ area was in Freehold, on Rt 9, a major highway. That was, until a
never-finished highway bypass buried my burger emporium under 12 feet of
prime NJ topsoil. Never again the greasy 23 cent burger, and those
endless advertisements on (a) every flat surface for 36 mi radius, and
(b) every radio station from Absecon to Rahway...
 
Well, I was driving down in that area a week ago, and heard a BC commercial.
I thought nothing of it at the time - nothing unusual, just another one
of those endless ads. Then it struck me - BC in Freehold was destroyed
almost 13 years ago! But sure 'nuff, the ad was pushing the wonderfullness
of "Central Monmouth Counties' Only Good Fast Food Restaurant"... (by the
way, the immediate area has about 56 fast food joints in a three mile stretch,
nowadays).

I couldn' figger out what I was hearing, or if I was hallucinating, or
whatever, for about 10 minutes until the announcer informed us that
somehow a positively ancient BC ad had gotten into the tape file...
 
Positively Ancient? I grew up with that BC... (and I'm mid 20's)...
                  Long Live the 23 cent Burger,
