History of TweenersIn the early fifties, the Johnson's of Akron, Ohio, Left their jobs with the rubber companies, sold their homes, packed their belongings, including twin sons in the family car
and
drove
south,
landing
in
the
beautiful
foothills
of
the
Appalachian
Mountians
in
the
small
friendly
community
of
Jacksonville,
AL.
Pop
Johnson
had
a
dream!
For
years
he
had
been
perfecting
a
chili
sauce
recipe
of
his
mother's.
As
a
boy
growing
up
in
Brookville,
Virginia,
he
remembers
customers
coming
to
his
fathers
store
and
asking
for
Mrs.
Johnson's
chili
sauce,
-
there
never
seemed
to
be
enough
to
go
around.
After
settling
into
the
quieter
and
slower
life
style
of
the
little
southern
town,
which
had
a
"teachers
college",
Pop
Johnson
noticed
that
the
students
and
local
folk
had
to
travel
to
Anniston,
fifteen
miles
away,
to
get
a
Burger
or
a
Hot-dog.
It
didn't
take
long
to
figure
what
the
town
needed
was
a
drive-in
restaurant.
The
Dixie
Dip
was
born!
Even
though
they
served
slushy
orange
and
root
beer
drinks
from
frosty
mugs
and
every
kind
of
ice
cream
dish,
the
star
of
the
menu
was
the
hot-dog
topped
with
Pops
chili.
Customers
wanted
the
chili
sauce
on
everything
from
burgers,
fries,
and
even
chips.
They
came
from
miles
around,
lined
up
for
hours
on
the
Anniston-Jacksonville
highway
to
enjoy
the
extraordinary
taste
of
Pops
chili.As
the
years
past,
the
sons
took
over
the
business
but
the
now
famous
chili
recipe
remained
Pop's
secret.
When
Pop
knew
he
was
reaching
his
final
days,
he
began
teaching
he
youngest
granddaughters,
also
twins,
the
recipe,
never
letting
them
write
it
down
for
anyone
else
to
see.
In
the
family
business,
the
twins
became
the
anchor,
and
were
affectionately
called
the
Tween
Weiner
Twins
by
everyone.
Over
forty
years
later,
more
than
fifteen
restaurants
now
dot
the
community
that
the
one
little
Dixie
Dip
once
served.
