newport creamery
the chain is known for awful awful milkshakes, made from blended syrups and a proprietary ice milk. the drink started at the new jersey-based chain, bond's, in the 1940s. the name comes from a bond's customer who called it "awful big and awful good". in 1948, bond's licensed it to newport creamery and then to massachusetts-based friendly's. the terms of the license mandated the two new england businesses not sell it in new jersey, leading the expanding friendly's chain to rebrand it as a "fribble", and later changing its formula to be more like a traditional milkshake with ice cream instead of ice milk. when bond's went out of business in the 1970s, newport creamery purchased the trademark and continues to serve the original recipe.
