janice6 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 When my kids start telling me how good they have it and how old I am along with how tough life was "in the olden days", I tell them that I could drive my father's car by myself at 12 years old, I could go on a date with one Dollar, I could get gasoline for 25 cents a gallon, I could get a Hamburger and a malt for 50 cents, I could go to drive-ins and see movies with my date without having to get out of the car, I could carry a rifle and ammunition around in my early grade school days, I could go to a movie for 12 cents, I could walk across town at midnight or later and have no worries, I could leave home in the morning after breakfast and not be seen again till Supper time. I could work for money as a grade schooler, our front door was never locked, our cars were never locked. I had independence. I learned about how to find information for myself and was never taught what to think. I could walk up to strangers on the street knowing that they would help me without payment of any kind! I tell them they missed the most wonderful time in human history for a child to grow up and I feel so sorry for them not being able to experience this! I had a wonderful life and learned independence, self determination, self reliance, how to get what I wanted out of life without harming others. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Anyone remember these candy bars from the 1940's? They were made by the same company that made Bit-O'-Honey. I don't remember them. I wasn't born until 1947 and I don't know when they stopped making them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it a couple times, after seeing the mechanics and truckers do it at the gas station in Texas. I didn't get the appeal, other than salty coke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
