Food
The It's-It ice cream sandwich was invented in 1928 by George Whitney and sold only at Playland-at-the-Beach. In fact, for 40 years, Playland was the only place you could find It's It. After the demolition of Playland in 1972, the ice cream treat was made and sold elsewhere and is now sold in stores and in 15 states.

Famous quotes containing the word food:
“Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
“The food of thy soul is light and space; feed it then on light and space. But the food of thy body is champagne and oysters; feed it then on champagne and oysters; and so shall it merit a joyful resurrection, if there is any to be.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
