S&H Green Stamps® and their competitor, Blue Chip® stamps! Oh yes -- we got a few nice things that way.

I too grew up on Icees--got them in K-Marts years ago. Years ago when I was at a student conference at Georgetown University I had my first Slurpee. It seemed less icy than an Icee. And 7-11 offered more interesting flavors.

Just the mention of the ICEE conjures up memories! Does anyone remember Green Stamps? There was a Green Stamp store next to the 7 11...

Yeah, I remember when the first 7-Eleven store I ever heard of was still selling Icee®s -- they're still available here and there. Last one I had, I got at a snack-bar type place at Arbor Place Mall in Douglasville, Ga.

Same mall where I had my last A&W meal.
