When I was a kid I could probly drink a whole six pack of these, slam two MacIntosh toffee bars, eat a bag a chips, then ride the empties down to the Chink Store for the refund - and be home in time to eat supper!
I started this post off craving an orange crush but now I am suppressing an urge to vomit. 🤢
When I was a kid I could down a quart of milk, a three egg omelet and a pot pie before heading to school. I'd be starving by lunchtime.
ReplyDeleteOf course I was burning more calories in a day back then than I do in a week now at 65.
Yep... and after eating all THAT... it would have been time for a game of baseball with all that food bouncing around in your guts....🤮
DeleteOrange Crush??? naw!!!!.. Stewart's orange-cream soda is where its at. But you canukiestanians probably don't have that there.
ReplyDeleteOr a NeHi, could only get them in the southeastern corner of Kansas when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteOrange was good. Root Beer was just a little better, but that Cream Soda was the best.
ReplyDeleteA vote for Cream Soda here. But I also loved both Nehi Grape and Orange Soda, especially when it came out of those chest style coolers where you'd slide the bottles down the racks 'til they got to the end and you'd pull them up and out. Fond memories.
ReplyDeleteI believe they were 5¢ a bottle back then.
MacIntosh toffee...one of my fondest memories as a kid with Canadian ancestry. I haven't seen one--let alone tasted one--in years!
