Howard Johnson's introduced its "28 flavors" concept in the 1940s, revolutionizing the ice cream industry. At a time when most ice cream parlors offered only chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, HoJo's extensive variety was groundbreaking. Flavors ranged from classics like butter pecan and mint chocolate chip to more unique offerings such as macaroon and fruit salad.
The "28 flavors" became a cornerstone of Howard Johnson's identity, drawing customers to their restaurants and ice cream stands across the country. This wide selection, along with the brand's commitment to quality ingredients, helped establish Howard Johnson's as America's largest restaurant chain by the 1970s.
Howard Johnson's ice cream was so popular that it was sold in grocery stores and supermarkets, allowing fans to enjoy their favorite flavors at home. The brand's success in ice cream led to the famous slogan, "Howard Johnson's has made more Americans happy with ice cream than anyone else in the world!"
While Howard Johnson's restaurants have since faded from the American landscape, with the last one closing in 2022, the memory of their legendary ice cream lives on. This t-shirt serves as a sweet reminder of the joy and excitement that came with choosing from those 28 delicious flavors.
Wear your Howard Johnson's 28 Flavors shirt to your next ice cream social, or use it as a conversation starter to share memories of your favorite HoJo's ice cream flavors. More than just a piece of clothing, it's a wearable slice of American food history that celebrates the innovation and variety that Howard Johnson's brought to the world of ice cream.
