ColorChallenge – WednesdayYellow – In-N-Out Day #2, The Secret of the Palm Trees

The bright yellow In-N-Out arrow points the way to deliciousness. Sure, you could order off the menu, but where's the fun in that? Enter the not so secret secret menu. So, when you're in Southern California, or now Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas and Oregon as well, try something different like a triple-triple or a quad-quad, and be sure to get it animal style.

In my In-N-Out Day #1 post, I mentioned that palm trees are ubiquitous at In-N-Out, as accents throughout the restaurant, on the cups, and of course growing for real outdoors. When you visit, be sure to keep your eye out for two very special palm trees, the crossed palm trees.

Why crossed palm trees? Well, one of founder Harry Snyder’s favorite movies, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, involves a race to find a buried treasure hidden under a big W, that turns out to be four palm trees planted to resemble the letter (\X/). Because each In-N-Out store is the founder's "treasure," a tradition of planting crossed palm trees in front of most In-N-Out locations began in 1972.

Thanks to Hive account@kalemandra for starting this #colorchallenge ! I love trying to come up with something different to post for each day of the week, although usually it's a flower or a car...
