Ahhh... Date Shakes! MMmmmmmm!!!
I remember my grandparents used to take me out to the Dinosaurs by Palm Springs when I was a kid to get the amazingly good famous Date Shake from Hadley Orchards. Those were the days. Thank goodness the shake survived, and you can still get it there.

Besides the Helms bakery truck, I remember a Date shake was 35 cents at Dairy Queen on Redlands Blvd.
