When and How much was your first White Castle Slider?

[hornadylnl]

If you like White Castle, try a Hinkle burger in Madison.

Seems like I will have to try one on for size. Only way to know which side of the fence to take. Now, where is the nearest one to the Fort? Decatur?

The first ones I can remember (they were probably feeding them to me when I was 2!) would be in about 1955 when I was 6 years old and they were ten cents at that time.

Sliders and fries were the only thing on the menu then. I don't think they even had a cheeseburger.

Same here, early or mid 50's. I remember the BIG Controversy when they went from 10 cent's to 12 and It was like, they'll be out of business

My very first White Castle Slider was in the fall 1985 and it was 19 cents.

The first ones...would be in about 1955...they were ten cents at that time.

Interesting, that indicates an annual slider inflation rate of 2.163%. Simple inflation based on the CPI is 4.729% for the same period. White Castle is a better bargain than ever!

It was around 1985 when I had my first Slider. There were no White Castles in our area of southern Missouri that I'm aware of, but my dad bought a couple cases of the slimy, nasty things from my aunt I think. We were EXTREMELY poor at the time and a case of frozen Sliders was cheap. (around $5 I think) We kept them in the deep freeze, and would nuke them in the microwave when we wanted one. We had sliders for probably 2 years.

Once those cases of sliders were gone, I've never touched another one. Can't even stand the smell of them.

I don't remember my first WC or the cost.

...I do eat them once in awhile to remember how bad they are.

Early 60's. I think the price was .08 for regular and .10 w/cheese.

I blame this thread.

Stopped off at STARBUCKS in ST JOHN and talked to one of my favorite baristas about the upcoming Valentines Day BOYCOTT by the anti-gun group. Warned her that there may be a bunch of gun-owners showing up to support Starbucks.

Then, got coffee in hand, I drove north to the WHITE CASTLE and picked up 2 hamburgers with everything + double onions at the drive through window.

Great combination, Starbucks and White Castle!

When I was in Germany, the food everyone craved from home was Taco Bell. Talked to a lady at work one day and her son was deployed oversees somewhere. His biggest craving was White Castle. Apparantly Taco Bell is available but not White Castle.

I get them every now and then and my wife hates it. She complains they smell up the car. I thought about getting one of those White Castle scented candles and hiding it in her pillow case.

Your wife and daughter are going to be hating life in a few hours. LOL

The earliest I remember is my Mom buying them for my sister and I after swim lessons at the YMCA in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago in the mid 1960's, no idea on how much they cost.

 

[wizard_of_ahs]

Dont remember the price, but ill never forget the taste. I stopped at the White Castle in Corydon 3 years ago and figured id give them a try. I think between me and my friend we ordered 8 or so. We each took one bite, looked at eachother, spit it out, threw the rest away, and left. It was his first time trying it too. I can honestly say I will never eat it again.

AMEN brother

I honestly can't remember the first time I had one or the price (around 20 years ago), but I know I have been in love ever since!!!!!

Crave case FTW!!!!


If only we had one in Fort Wayne

White Castles do have a medicinal effect also. Quite a number of times on the way home from Camp Atterberry I was kind of "digestively sluggish" after two days of MRE's. Stop by the White Castle in Westfield and get a dozen to go......

And go you will. Quite possibly for several days.

Must have been around 1960 for my first. We used to drive down to Indy from Fairmount every couple months to go shopping and dad always stopped at WC to get a couple bags of sliders for the ride home. I still love 'em, but they don't love me so much any more.
