Yeah, her basement is a mint. It isn't because she collects anything, it is because "she (or dad) might need it someday". I think some things haven't been needed in 40 years. However, I understand the philosophy of those who lived through the Great Depression.

Thats IT! Any idea what decade thats from?

anyone remember marathon candy bars? they were about a foot long, and real thin caramel covered with chocolate. mmmmm

How about the CLARK candy bars, they used to be one of my favorites growing up.

@stayathomemommy:

Actually there were 3 Mel's Markets. The original in Germantown Hills. (Although the REAL original was in the same building as Marchands Resterruant, later Al's Liquor) Bay View Gardens and Washburn.

@skutfarcus:

That's right! I forgot about Washburn. I was thinking it was an IGA? And I thought the liquor store in Germantown was adjacent to a hair salon and Mel's was it's own building.. and then Hillyer's gas station. I was employed by one of them.. a long..long.. time ago!

@labchick:

I used to freeze them and then shatter them before I ate them. I LOVED those

Those using natural occuring ingredients and not chemical concoctions, dyes , flavorings, ingredients spelled with 15 characters.

I use to love this. Yummy !

@stayathomemommy:

The hair salon was a resteraunt back in the 50's & 60's. At one time there were 3 gas stations in town. I worked at all 3 of them at one time or another. (Before self-serve)

Not that it's NOT available, but I can't remember the last time i had a bundt cake

@HipKat:

Do you like Rum and Pecans?
