That was a good May commercial from 1977, Christmas was so good during those old days :scsm:

i don't know that Dave's Christmas Superstore in 1995 but I sure do Ted Drewes and I guess that's why you chose that one PB ;) Here's My quote from My Baseball: Origins P2 showcase :)

BrandonDaCollector wrote:Since it's My city I thought I'd now show this as a special bonus that I am including for this Showcase is a St. Louis Blues Button that was in My Big Box of Buttons. However this just isn't a St. Louis Blues Button, this is a special & unique Ted Drewes Frozen Custard item. I'm really not sure how I obtained this but possibly at school as well :)

Now if your not in the Mid West much less Missouri then you probably don't know anything about Ted Drewes Frozen Custard. It's the most famous of all Frozen Custards in the state. He's got two locations, 1 on Grand that was hardly ever opened near where Ben Franklin's & Sears was and the other is on Chippewa that has always been insanely busy where Grandpa Pidgeons was. Ted Drewes's commercials are always on Fox Sports Midwest during the Cardinals & Blues games. Here's his logo and here's the man himself :)

Image

Now this is the location on Chippewa, right across the street is the great Donuts Shop Me & Grandpa used to go to which their still there. We'd be like look at that crazy crowd of people at Ted Drewes. Ted Drewes is absolutely huge for sports here I mean their pure St. Louis history. Really there's not that many that's more iconic than them. Tourist have come here to just to try them out and as Ted would say..."It's really good guys...and gals" :)

Image


OK, now back to the commercial. That's Ted Drewes there. In that commercial you can see it's the place in My picture. They still have those trees there as I speak, I saw them last week when I was in the Chippewa & Hampton area. I'm sure they cost a pretty penny. Thanks PB ;)

Dave's is local to me. That's why I picked two this time, lol.
