Default Re: Fads

Guess you're talking about hopscotch, Kathie? We used the chains that held the little coin purses that you squeezed to open (another fad/era thing?).

Okay, fad drinks/food: RC or Coca-Cola (no Pepsi, EVER) with peanuts in them. French fries with mayo (yuck!). Moon pies and RC. Egg creams. Real soda jerks making chocolate sodas (yummmmmmm). Wax Coke bottles. Candy cigarettes. Candy straws (thank goodness those are still around and still yummy). (Yeah, I know, not faddish, just nostalgic.)
