- Moviehouse Productions presents stories of the origins of two Philadelphia delights, Hires Root Beer and Tastykake.
A druggist by trade and brilliant marketer, Charles Elmer Hires, transformed a volatile ancient brew of roots and berries into a beloved American soft drink.
Philip Bauer and Herbert Morris overcame indifference and neglect in Philadelphia's baking industry to give birth to TastyKake, the "cake that made mother stop baking."
So... maybe you washed down your TastyKake with a Hires Root Beer, or perhaps with a big glass of milk in front of your black and white 'TV"...either way, you enjoyed!!!
I remembered those great memories in Philadelphia !❤
Every time I look at root beer I think of hires.i was Lucky enough to work at Canada dry when they delivered it.i was just 18 so my mom couldn't complain about how much soda I drank I drank so much hires I had a beer gut and didn't drink beer.
Having grown up in Northeast Philadelphia, I also remember going to Food Fair with my mother for that week's food shopping needs.
And before I was diagnosed as a Type-1 diabetic in 1967 (then it was referred to as "Juvenile Diabetes"), I ate more than my fair share of TastyKake Jelly Krimpets and Butterscotch Krimpets! Even as a kid, I was never a soda drinker; I preferred milk.
Have you seen the ingredient lists to what passes today as TastyKake products? I shudder to think if that's what I was engorging myself with back then!
Hires is the best mass produced root beer. But local Amish root beer and birch beer is the best !
As a Philadelphian I have a soft spot for Tastykakes especially Kandykakes. Personally I thought Hires root beer wasn’t so great,I’m a Hanks man myself.
Hi Michael, Hope you liked the first 78 per cent. I think it very important to give credit to the contributions of those that enhance my work. Thanks for taking the time to write. Rick
lol i dont know what his comment about the credits was even for, pointless. LOVE the video would love to see more and more detailed/longer ones!!! grew up in norristown and lived there and pittsburgh briefly and west philly
I always give credit where credit is due...view more from my channel, many longer videos...thanks for watching!
Man I miss original tastykake krimpets AND hires so much since i moved away. The new krimpet is just not quite the same
It's a shame that Tastykake changed it's recipe when they went national - if I wanted Hostess, that's what I would buy! Living out west, I truly miss the chocolate eclair and wish they sold them here.
Hey if I ever go west I will bring you a case of the eclair pies.
OMG! I would cook you the best cheesesteak west of the Mississippi!@@user-nu8tl1xd9u
My grandmother always kept a box of Krimpets on top of her fridge for us kids!
My grandma did the same oh I miss thoughts days and social tea biscuits my favorite are they still around good 👍 old days
