Does anyone remember the chocolate lollipops at Howard Johnson's?

[melk]

When I was a kid we had a Howard Johnson's restaurant in the area. Whenever we would go my parents would buy us a round chocolate lollipop that had white chocolate on the front with a picture on it. They were right next to the cash register. I used to love them. I haven't thought of them in years and for some reason it popped into my head. Just thought I'd see if anyone else remembers them?:D

Funny you should bring up this as the other day I was in a local Ice cream store and they have banana ice cream and got me thinking about HoJo's. Iused to loeve to get my ice cream there as it always came with a cookie. I also loved to get the Orange Freeze from there too!!

I also remember of seeing the lollipops, insead of getting those I used to get the gum or the life saver type candy they sold>

As a matter of fact I live in the same city in which Howard Johnson was founded in! the factory where all the candy was made is now condos

My parents used to buy me the hojo trucks that they used to sell and I even had a hojo bank. Also the Quincy Historical society have quite a collection of HoJo memorabilia which we have donated a bit too!
Whenever we traveled my parents and I would always stay at a Howard Johnson motel and eat at the restaurant attached!!:D

Sue Z,
That's so interesting. Also, my parents always used to have us stay at a Hojo's! And my mother still remarks on how much she misses their hot dogs, LOL!
