I remember my first Krystal.

[trof]

Downtown Birmingham, Alabama.
I think they were 13 cents apiece?
OK, they were tiny, but you could get a HALF DOZEN for 78 cents?
WHOA!

And now we call them 'sliders'.

1. Krystal's are my guilty indulgence! Love them!

[Docreed2003]

2. Although I'm not a Senior...whoops, sorry!

3. In the Northeast they were called WhiteCastle burgers

I seem to remember they were 10 cents each in 1962.
You can now buy them frozen in a big box at the market.

5. Krystal founders stole the idea from White Castle.

7. And WhiteCastle didn't sue?

How unamerican!

[trof]

9. It was a long time ago.

WC was north and K was south.
I don't think WC knew.

11. White Castle started in 1921, Krystal in 1932

It was a simpler time.

4. What are Krystals??

I might need some. I’m 52...is that allowed?

6. Sliders

Tiny square hamburgers.
Krystal is one fast food joint that serves them.
White Castle is the other.

8. Hmmm. They must

be wonderful! Thanks.

[trof]

10. I like 'em, mainly for price. Might be an aquired taste.

12. Krystals are

So much better than white castles

[trof]

13. Yeah?

Never been to a WC.

[d_r]

15. They are good

Krystal's just better

14. Ah, memories from my youth

Mother would give my sister and I a dollar each. We would ride the trolley to "town" aka Atlanta. We would have 2 Krystals and a coke each, see a Disney movie and ride home. The dollars were gone, but that was a real treat! This would have been in the mid to late 1950's.

16. White Castles are still tastier than Krystal burgers.
