Hmmm . . . Montana weighing in. We have Best Foods, not Hellman’s, and Smucker’s, not that other brand I’ve never heard of, but we have Osco, not Sav-On, and we’re definitely west of the continental divide. (Okay, only 30 miles west, but still.)
“Big Boy” here was always called “JB’s Big Boy,” not “Bob’s Big Boy,” and they had a contest a number of years ago about keeping or chucking the Big Boy (yes, same Big Boy, checkered overalls, hoisting a burger). They decided to chuck the Big Boy, and now the restaurant is just called JB’s. I didn’t know they still had Big Boys anywhere.
Speaking of, anybody else remember Sambo’s? It was a diner-type restaurant like Big Boy, but with this cheesy (and, in retrospect, slightly racist) decor dealing with a little black boy (Sambo) running from a tiger. It was a haunt of my childhood, but it’s been closed for years. I’m pretty sure it was a chain, though.
