Every box of cereal came with a free toy

Toilet paper was wide.

When it was us against them and we knew who "them" was. We knew who they were too.

Popcorn had to be popped in oil.

You could leave the house unlocked.

Banana seats and wheelie bars

When rainbows and butterflies were not part of some government conspiracy.

When there was no music on FM radio... but when it started it was on for only a few hours. When you could hitchike & the guy that picked you up took you to where you were going & spit tobacco in a can between you two. When there were no life guards to try to bust you on the beach for having a beer or joint. When your fenders flapped in the wind from rust. When there was 3.2 beer & you only had to be 18 to buy it. When a new GTO was 3 grand. When Stingray bikes had a 2 speed kick-back rear hub. When most kids made skateboards with steal wheels. When in school there were Jocks, Heads, Narcs, Nerds, Juicers, Bible thumpers. When a teacher could take you out in the hall & paddle the shit out of you. When cops didn't know what pot smelled like or looked like. When you could light your tap water on fire from the sulfur, happened once in a rual area in No. Dakota. When you could stay all night on the beach & camp there without a permit.

I'm pretty sure they still make em,they were great at the saturday matinee movies! They made another one called a Black Cow,it was a Slo-poke covered in CHOCOLATE. We have a cool penny candy store that has all the old candies......but they ain't a penny anymore. A Maryjane costs a nickle! I always liked those little wax bottles with the syrupy stuff in em. Still love Necco Wafers too. "In those days,nickles had bumblebees on em,and we all wore an onion hanging from our belt.".........Grandpa Simpson
