One more reminiscin’ entry before I sign off for the weekend. If you are familiar with any of the food below, it’s probably because we share a culture, a generation, or a quirk. These are snacks I loved as a child. Each one has a special memory attached to it. I’m certain you have your own fond memories of these too.
