Produced in 1972, the Sandy's coloring book was most likely the last of the huge amount of promotional materials produced over fifteen years of operations. Each child was given one just for visiting Sandy's.
Special thanks to Sandy's Super-fan Chris Bryant Gerdes who provided the image of the incredible napkin seen above. The color on this now some thirty-something year old gem is outstanding and one is hard pressed to find a finer example at any restaurant much less a drive-in. Chris also provided the images for the next four items which include; Sandy's glass (filled with white) with the new Sandy's girl head icon and a Sandy's tie which was worn by employees, three types of Sandy's playing cards, Sandy's quick chiller glass and finally two different Sandy's glasses!
