I'm originally from Fall River, MA, which is on the RI border. I also lived in Providence during grad school. When I was growing up, coffee was the most popular flavor, even over chocolate. Coffee milk, coffee ice cream, coffee milk shakes (called cabinets in RI). Of course, Duncan Donuts are everywhere, even in eastern MA. In Fall River, DD is the big coffee supplier. When driving with my relatives, they will just suddenly veer off the road, hit the drive through for a refill of the DD cup, and drive off. Of course, I grew up with their coffee and donuts so I still love them. The only thing that saves my waistline is that the nearest source is 30 miles away here in VA.
Actually, I worked at my Uncle's drugstore as a teenager, and it had a soda fountain. We made our own coffee syrup. 20 lbs of sugar in a big pot, and 5 lbs of coffee in a cheese cloth bag in a very large homemade copper funnel. I forget how much how water we poured through. 7-10 gallons, maybe. And I even had some coffee syrup in my fridge now. Autocrat brand, courtesy of a care package from my NE relatives. >>> "P. J.

(also called littlenecks), are steamed dipped in butter and served with sweet corn, (this tastes best if the shellfish are taken out of collected without a license, and the corn is stolen from a farmers field), but they're still great anytime. Rhode Island is the only place I've seen Coffee Syrup, a concoction much like chocolate syrup, for making coffee milk. It's an interesting place...
