How’s this for a gripe? Saw this in the comments section of a news story about how sucky San Francisco has become:
The name “$100,000 Bar” was better than “100 Grand.” We used to have a lot more candy companies. Curtiss produced Butterfinger and Baby Ruth before being bought out by the big boys. Peter Paul produced Mounds and Almond Joy. Hollywood produced Payday and a host of others. Now we get endless varieties of Reeces, M&Ms, and Snickers but Hershey and Nestle have the market.
I completely agree. But any pollsters better stay off my lawn.
Ouch, totally ignored the local success story, Ghirardelli’s!!!
The top three five piece bands of the rock era:
Rolling Stones (Jagger, Jones, Richards, Watts, Wyman)
The Beach Boys (Jardine, Love, B. Wilson, C. Wilson, D. Wilson)
AC⚡DC (Rudd, Scott, Williams, A. Young, M. Young)
I also prefer $100,000 Dollar Bar
And I like a Zero bar paired with a Big Red. But I’m not known for my taste.
Here I am trying to figure out where I can find a pack of Black Jack chewing gum.
If your town has a dedicated candy store then that’s your beat bet. A second option would be the gift shop at Cracker Barrel. But nowadays you’ll probably have to navigate past their pride display to get to the gum rack.
Amazon – but you have to buy 20 packs at a time.
I just want a taste of notalgia, not load up for Halloween.
Halloween – that’s a good idea. You can give out Black Jack to neighbor kids you hate.
Saves a fortune on Halloween candy next year!
I’ve gotten some recently at Wilco Farm Store if you have any of those around. They also have Beeman’s.
Ive had a chance recently to watch a streaming network called Pluto TV provided on our “smart tv” menu.
If you’re not familiar then all you have to do is type the name of a tv show you like and chances are theres a “channel” that shows it 24 hours a day with commercials.
Anyway I’ve been watching the Andy Griffith channel.
Anyway i said all that to say this:
Its not all the black and white Andy Griffiths.
I noticed that in the color shows Andy seems like he’s always either fed up with whoever he’s talking too or hes just tired all the time.
On the plus side Floyd the barber is in more episodes but due ro the actors stroke he delivers all his lines just sitting down.
When I was a kid we had bottle rocket fights firing off bottle rockets at each other from about 30 feet and lived to tell about it.
We used to throw dirt clods at each other to simulate gunfire and explosions – a little dirt in the eye never hurt anyone…
Canadian Smarties are better than M&Ms…which the way they are going, will soon be renamed S&Ms…

Brach’s?
