So many hot dogs and children taking big bites of them. Popcorn. Coke. Popcorn. Dr. Pepper. Coke. Popcorn. Candy. Popcorn. Coke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pepsi. For those who think young. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a disturbing number of clowns. Especially early on. Not nearly as many racist animations or pictures as I feared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many car speaker and car heater ads and instructions on use. Bernz-O-Matic will allow this theatre to stay open all year. Do you have a drizzle guard? It will keep rain off your windshield. It will save your battery and wear &amp; tear in your car. Don&#8217;t sizzle in a drizzle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have information on drive-in speaker theft, report it for a $50 reward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of brands  Toddy. Flips. Watch the Manley machine work it&#8217;s magic on Manley&#8217;s popcorn! Nepco Frankfurt. Flavos Shrimp Rolls. They&#8217;re Shrimply delicious! Deeds Bros. Dairy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was an ad decrying the horrors of Pay TV! Not enough people signed the petition to keep Free TV from turning into Pay TV!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One instance of pop-corn. And a final reminder to Vote. Tell your friends to study the records of all candidates and choose the best one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was disappointed to learn there is a drive-in theatre near where I grew up but somehow never learned about it as a kid. Possibly because a movie ticket was $5 and a $20 could buy you dinner, a movie and snacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until years later I learned the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefamilydriveintheatre.com\/\">Family Drive-in<\/a> was in Stephens City. I&#8217;ve now been a number of times and enjoyed it every single time. I can&#8217;t say watching these ads tonight made me nostalgic for the ads when I was younger. But I do dearly miss going to the movies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Described by my wife as &#8220;Peak Carl.&#8221; I am laying in bed watching 75 minutes of drive-in movie ads and laughing my head off at some of them.
