I remember raspberry lime rickies, used to get them, or the occasional strawberry soda at the soda fountain at Delekta's Pharmacy in Warren, RI as a teenager. We have Friendly's here in RI, but my preference was for Newport Creamery, with their Awful Awfuls and my ice cream fave was unrock chocolate (dark chocolate ice cream with little bits of fudgey brownie, or of course maple walnut.
Love this cake recipe, I'll have to give it a try this coming weekend.
I had COMPLETELY forgotten about the Awful Awful! I went to college in R.I., and Newport Creamery was a real treat when you could find someone with a car to take you... Thanks for a nice (sweet) memory! PJH
