I'll admit...I had no idea what this sign meant for a really long time after I discovered Steak-N-Shake. No idea. The first Steak-N-Shake was in Normal, Illinois, which is also the town I went to college in. Most of the time when someone asks where Illinois State University is, and you answer "Normal" people laugh...but it's usually followed up with it's claim to fame, the original home to Steak-N-Shake.
When I was in college, there was not a Steak-N-Shake in every other town in the midwest, so when I discovered it in the 90's, I was very perplexed by what this sign was all about. I seriously thought, "Perhaps they have a Native American background??". I thought this for a long time. Then, one day it dawned upon me, that *some* midwestern people call a bag...a "sack"...and put it all together. Take home a sack.
Lord, I'm a total idiot.
