Water chestnuts are one of my favorites.Zeno Marx":3bsrp0je said:Water chestnuts still make me dry heave because of those Chinese can kits. I think my mom bought La Choy brand, with 2-3 cans, all tape sealed at the rims into a tower of cans. One had those orangish hard noodles. That was one of my least favorite quick meals. But it didn't prevent me from loving Asian foods. My goodness did that stuff taste like chemicals.
I think I notice the absence of candies the most. I don't know if they stopped making them or if they just don't get the grocery store placement like they once did. And the fact that most places aren't going to take up valuable space to sell 5cent candies...if there is even such thing as 5cent candies anymore.
IIRC, Marty (the blonde-headed dude) had the jeans; Spin kicked'em all in the dirt. Then drenched'em in the horse trough to get'em nice and soft!!! Amazing what an old fart remembers :cheers: FTRPLTBlackhorse":j4qximib said:LOL...I won’t do a “who’s your favorite Mousekateer?” thing. I will share a remembered episode of Spin n Marty though. One of the boys got a new pair of Levis and they were WAY too new looking to wear to some hoedown? Is that right? So anyway, hijinks ensue while our hero’s proceed to “age” the jeans by kicking, beating, dragging, the poor things...all over the place. I don’t remember how they turned out.
Times & issues were quite a bit simpler then.
Mmmmm Fluffernutter, a childhood staple of the northeast, not sure about the pickles though :lol!:peanubutter":i1baogxn said:Love Peter Pan PB with marshmallow fluff or pickles (guess it is a NY state thing)
