Again, I don't know if it was a TJ thing or a Berkeley thing, but there were no brand name snacks nor soft drinks that I recognized. I think I'd bet that there was nothing carbonated anywhere in that store. I did find a little bag of weird little Cheetos-looking knock-offs. The bag even kind of gave the sense of being homemade. (BTW, have been relatively recently informed that Cheetos can be thought of as vacation carrots). This now takes me back a couple of decades to when I tried to buy a six pack of beer during a trip to Philly for the national 50's grass courts. Further culture shock.
