There Was A Time
When we had all day suckers candy and you might get a Penny nickel dime a quarter hidden within the candy.
When you bought a round carton of oatmeal and you'd get a glass, a sugar bowl or creamer or butter container, made of good glass too.
When grocery stores gave big bonus in green value stamps. Save the stamps and you could trade for merchandise.
Bubble gum and the baseball cards which are now valuable were inside.
Cracker jacks and the little toy prizes inside.
Cereal couldn't wait to get to the toy inside of the box.
When merchants value their customers and did a little some more than others to show their appreciation.
Food was cheaper, sizes on many items were bigger, and believe me it tasted a whole lot better. If people of today could taste the foods of yesteryear.
Times have changed and has and is quickly doing so.
