In the beginning I really liked everything about that place. They had facsimile old Sears-catalogue pages on the tables (you don't see that -- well, you might still see it in the desert), their chili was good, and them frosties! But then I came to realize that their buns are far too sweet and though their patties sizzled, they have little flavor. The other things are ancillary.
In Britain Kellogg markets frosted flakes under the brand name Frosties. Forget that it sounds like Malt-O-Meal bag cereal: how the hell does the foreign product get a trademark, while "frosted flakes" is probably too generic to do so, like corn flakes and raisin bran.
