 NB>> There are still Friendly's restaurants/ice cream parlors. 

 ML> I encounter them very occasionally but for some reason don't
 ML> have the urge to investigate!

We still have at least four in the Rochester area.  We used to have a
lot more... some of our favorites were among the casualties.

 NB>> Post-Hershey they still have licensing rights to Hershey names for
 NB>> their sundaes etc. We've been customers, off and on, for the entire
 NB>> time...

 ML> Great faith and forbearance, sometimes then.

And the occasional friend or family member to whom Asian/ethnic is
foreign, and less of a treat, so they opt for something more familiar. 
And once in while, one just wants a Friendly's sundae...  ;)  

 ML> ==
 ML> A bunch of clams, let me tell you, but they went away
 ML> quite fast, and I felt sort of like the walrus, or was
 ML> it the carpenter?
 NB> According to Humpty-Dumpty's annotation, probably both..

 ML> ... for they'd eaten every one. The guy was delightfully
 ML> warped, was he not? Never mind that in Y2KXII they'd
 ML> probably put him in jail and throw away the key just on
 ML> circumstantial evidence.

And we'd be so much more deprived...

 NB>> I have to admit, my knowledge of lutefisk is merely anecdotal

 ML> And you intend to keep it that way, I presume.

Mor'n likely...  :)

 NB>> Just had what is probably a most terrible thought...  Having a buffet
 NB>> of all the reputedly nasty "treats" from all sorts of cultures, all
 NB>> together at one board... just to try them all out...  (G)

 ML> That might be sort of neat. But imagine the stench.

That's part of the terrible-ness of it...  ;)
