I was allowed to have candy when our family visited the Old Country Candy store, (usually as part of a historical tour my father provided for relatives visiting us from the Midwest). The store sold penny candy, and we were usually allowed to have a small bag filled with it.
My brother was allowed to drink soda, but I was not, because the soda was for my brother. In those days, a soda company named Polar would deliver their soda door to door to "subscribers". My brother got pretty fat for a while, and my mother stopped the soda service. Unfortunately, both my mother and brother "trained" themselves to love soda, and they were addicted to it all their lives.
