Poll: How many of these defunct fast food chains did you eat at?
Are you the ultimate hamburger historian?
Americans will always hunger for hamburgers, so it's a good business to get into. That being said, fast food franchises come and go.
In the 1950s, '60s and '70s, we drove our cars to drive-ins. Those are largely gone. Other trends like the '80s diet craze or the British Invasion led to other trends in fast dining.
Many of these chains were regional, but if the family piled in the station wagon for a road trip, there's a good chance you had a Weenie Beenie hot dog in D.C. or a Pup 'n' Taco hot dog in California. Of course, on the way there, you probably stopped at a HoJo for ice cream.
Here are 15 defunct fast food chains that once dotted the country. Check off the ones you ate at and see how your eating experience stacks up against others.
