Uncle alligator meals FTMFW.

In a few years I'll start the thread "Does anyone remember Arby's roast beef restaurants?"

and people will post & prove that the "fond memories" of a product are 10x better than the product actually is/was. (no reflection on Rax in this case, I never had it)

I remember having a bunch of animal shaped plastic cups. I believe they were from Rax.

How they have been able to F up such a simple thing is beyond my ability to understand. The meat is definitely mystery meat class,

As a kid I used to love the one in Lafayette by the thruway off of Willow. It was right next to Burger Tyme, I miss those places.

Senior year of college.... we gathered a crew and went upon a two hour road trip to find the last Rax in our state.

Big mistake. How the mighty had fallen from the time of being a kid. Uncle alligator was no more, the workers wore whatever they wanted, and the cups and wrappers were plain white, not branded with "Rax" anymore.
