in the 70s, Food of the Seventies

Comments left:	While this story goes back to 1998, it indirectly involves the DQ lime Dilly. When DQ abandoned a stand inside the Knott's Camp Snoopy theme park, the machine that made Dillies was left behind. An independent ice cream rep rented the space and sold ice cream bars, calling them Roundabouts. The guy included a green lime coating as well as a lemon yellow among the flavor varieties. Somebody from one of the mall's DQ stands (in food courts) reported the guy. Fearing a lawsuit, he abruptly closed after a few weeks. Camp Snoopy had its own sad swan song in 2005. Apparently, new members (liberal ones) of the mall's board of directors had a problem with the Peanuts gang, they felt represented old-fashioned (or conservative) values. Camp Snoopy refused a "request" to tone down on TV and billboard ads. The mall bit back by ending all Peanuts ties to its theme park, sending good ol' Charlie Brown packing. From 2006 to '08, the indoor amusement park had no theme until becoming the kiddie-fueled Nickelodeon Universe. When Lucy pulled away the football from Charlie Brown, it was like Mall of America pulling the life out of that theme park.
