I don't remember Quisp. Is this it? If so it appears you can purchase it. Hope you didn't spend all your $$ on Chocodiles!

The usual suggestions were put forth. We had a school mate at the time, an odd sort of kid with the surname "Quist". My suggestion was to take a box of Quisp cereal and sprinkle the contents all over his front yard.

Needless to say, my suggestion was 'voted down' immediately in committee.
The night before halloween is "goosy night" by the way : ) That's the best you can do? We use to tie peoples doors together and ring and run - or put a bag of dog poop on their front step and light it on fire...ring the bell and run - watch from the woods as they stomped out the fire...then stop to look at their slipper full of poop..lol : )

I remember Genos- anyone remember a Geno's Giant? Geno's was founded by a Baltimore Colts player if I remember correctly. First Name Geno-he had an Italian last name maybe started with a "T"?

I used to go to Genos and Burger Chef-both on 37 in Toms River. IMHO-that is when fast food was edible. Anyone else remember these two places?

Gino Marchetti, defensive end Baltimore Colts, played next to Art Donovan, anchored the defensive line for their two championship teams 1958-59.

My best friend John at the time could eat 4 Geno's Giants, honest to god. I could barely put down two if I was very hungry. This was around 1975. I remember this because Genos was giving away miniature plastic NFL helmets for those who purchased Giants. The decals were included on a separate sheet of paper for all 28 teams. (Boy, I still remember how difficult it was to put the Rams decals on the helmets, because of the curves) That's why I know it was 1975. The following year, the Buccaneers and the Seahawks joined the league. I still have that collection of all 28 teams as a wall ornament, thanks to my friend John, partially due to his eating efforts I was able to collect all 28 helmets. My son today looks at those helmets every so often. About two weeks ago he attempted to put one on my cat's head and turn my cat into a football player. That will give you an idea of how small those helmets are.

Nicole,

My friend Matt lived in Florham Park, a long way from Tom's River! He said there was a JITB location on what was then Route 24.
