[nesfa-reading-group] 28 flavors reference in “ Engine Summer”

[R. Luoma]

I think that the "28 flavors" refers to the Howard Johnson's chain (it seems still to exist);
while I ate at Howard Johnson's many times, I do not remember the "28 flavors" as part of
the Howard Johnson's image.

As for the seven scoops, if I remember correctly, the number of combinations
should be 28!/(28-7)! or about 5.9 billion.

... or did I misinterpret the question?

Did anyone recognize the orange water-container figure?
