Playland (San Francisco) - Food

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:

    Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    A few pieces of fat pine were a great treasure. It is interesting to remember how much of this food for fire is still concealed in the bowels of the earth.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 3:11.

    John the Baptist.
