I know pixie sticks as well as whistle pops, but was candy cigarettes an actual thing or are you just pulling my leg on that one?

Oh yeah...there were two different kinds. (At least)

There were the sugar sticks with the red end (some were mint)

But the best ones were chocolate.
They came in a pack that looked just like a pack of cigarettes and had a little brown wrapper on the end that looked like Winston's.

Totally not politically correct.

That must have been when milk was real milk and glass bottles were recycled and refilled. You peeled the top off and you got a layer of cream. Real full cream milk. You left your empty by the road and they replaced it daily. The milk man. Good system.

There is a milk chute built into the side of my house. It must have been very convenient back in the day. Just open the chute, and bring in the milk. No trip to the store necessary.

I want Scotty to beam groceries right into my refrigerator and freezer.

If milk is no different then why 30 years ago when I opened full cream milk I got a layer of cream on the top and it was thick and creamy, and now if i open full cream milk it does not taste as thick and creamy and there is no cream on the top layer?.

I understand when they say support local farmers.
