Page "Milkshake" Paragraph 24

In 2005, the traditional home of the milkshake, the family restaurants and 24-hour diner-style restaurants that were the " staples of 1950s and 60s America such as Denny's, Big Boy and the International House of Pancakes " were supplanted "... in terms of revenue for the first time since the U. S. census started measuring this in the 1970s.

The shift means the burger, fries and milkshake ideal evoked by the sitcom Happy Days is losing its hold on the American appetite.

" Instead, U. S. consumers are going out to casual dining restaurants.
