Who remembers those pastel colored candy dots that you'd eat off strips of paper? I remember thinking they were so cool when I was a kid.

I remember my parents giving us each a quarter and we would ride our bikes to 7-11 and get "penny candy." Occasionly, we'd buy something from the next row up (5 cents), but then it never seemed we were getting as much so we usually stuck with just those individual pieces of candy on the bottom shelf. Waxed lips and mustaches were always popular, as was the cigar-shaped pink gum.

I had a girlfriend who used to bawl when we watched The Way We Were. I hadn't figured the world out back then, and I thought there might be something intrinsically worthwhile in it. . . . .
then one day I went. . . . . Whoa. . . . . we're getting sentimental about commies??????
From then on I just hated the song too. And the singer.
