Today’s Greatitude

National Drive Through Day

We may take it for granted but eating in our cars is a privilege that would have sounded bonkers had you suggested it a hundred years ago.
The first drive-thru is believed to have been at Red’s Giant Hamburg on Route 66 in Springfield, Missouri in 1947. In 1948 the original In-N Out Burger opened a drive-thru, which is now the longest surviving drive-thru in the U.S.

The drive-thru became so popular that it started to influence car design. In 1983 the cupholder as we know it started to appear in cars.  With that in mind, this day is for celebrating those establishments who allow us to take multitasking to a whole new level.

Pick your favorite drive-thru and go grab yourself a bite to eat and celebrate not only the convenience, but the night off from cooking too!
