Do I remember Thrifty's ice cream? Absolutely! And you are right that theirs was the only place that used the cylindrical scoop. My dad wasn't one for buying special treats often, but at 5 cents a scoop this was his favorite. I recall one of my post-childhood binges on Thrifty's ice cream -- eating an entire carton of coconut-pineapple in less than a week when I was pregnant with my now thirty-two year old son. Thanks for some great memories.
