Little League Treats from 1971 to 1973

I have many memories of playing in the majors at Windsor Park and food is certainly one of them.  We would get treats after games and if we did well, sometimes a parent would pay for "double treats".

A favorite for me was a blue raspberry snow cone.  Popcorn would work but bubble gum was fun and choices includes Bubs Daddy or Fleer Sour Grapes, Sour Cherries or Rain-blo.

Bubs Daddy flavors I remember - Original (pink), Grape, Apple, Watermelon and Red Hot.

When there was a foul ball (or home run), kids would run for the ball knowing they could turn it in at the concession stand for a bag of popcorn.

Cardboard feet

Here is an image I found. It looks like what I remember being on the bottom of balloons they gave out at Bishops Cafeteria here in Des Moines.

King's Food Host

Many good memories of King's Food Host.  I think we went to the one on Grand in West Des Moines most often.  The cheese frenchee comes to mind.  For me it was the Cherry 7-Up Float.

Of course it was the novelty of picking up the phone and ordering.  I still have a very clear picture of my first time calling in the order and looking up to see a guy answer the phone.

Here is a copy of ad that ran in the Roosevelt Roundup...

Great Shakes

This was a drink mix.  Had a plastic container with a lid.  Add mix and pour milk to a line in the cup and shake.  Not bad.  Probably liked the container more.  Not as good as Nestle's Quik.

Here are a few images.
