   Ah, yes, the good old days!  Just last week I ambled down the road to the
local dairy bar, and had myself a chocolate malted.  I usually get the
chocolate but sometimes go for the pineapple, cherry, blueberry... whatever I'm
in the mood for.  Yes, folks, living in the Dairy state has it's good points.
As for phosphates, the last one I had was at the downtown drugstore something
like 13 years ago.  Well, you can't have everything.

P.S.  Is it true that McDonald's "shakes" are not called milkshakes because of
a definite lack of anything resembling a dairy product?  (I don't really want
to know; it's just something to think about.)
