I’m 66, And from the NW Ohio/Toledo area. The ones I saw, probably mostly at Easter, were always that odd blue color, then they went orange, and never went back. I don’t understand how they have survived the culling that took other, and IMHO 1000X better candy off the market.

For many years, all the Circus Peanuts I saw were always a weird turquoise color, then suddenly, they changed to the weird orange. I’m guessing they switched manufacturers. They still tasted the same, awful..

My sister liked them, I thought and still think they are terrible. I still can’t even get it though my brain that they were/are supposed to be banana flavored. That aint like any banana I’ve ever had. 

My friend’s 2019 Charger Scat Pack got hit by some (probably drunk) idiot in a late model Chevy Silverado, while it was parked in his driveway about 2 weeks ago. Somehow, the truck was able to barely drive away, but the Charger was a total, it was parked nose out and the insurance company decided it was too much and…

I’ve had steaks at just about every level of prices and reputation over the years, so yes, I’ve had a “good steak”, and yes, I like mine well done. I’ve heard no end of shit about it over the years and all I can say is apparently us well done folks taste is different than the “medium rare” people, as I greatly greatly…

I worked at a hotel about 40 years ago, and the restaurant manager got some sort of a “great deal” on a Dr. Pepper knock off, “Mr Pibb”, and being the clueless guy he was, he replaced the Pepsi with it! He insisted, “It tastes exactly the same!”, when the complaints started up, the first of them was from me, who was…

I kind of know what you go through, I got seriously injured 15 years ago and between that and my inherited back issues, I use a walker now, just to somewhat ease the pain I’m in, and steps/falls are a nightmare. Falling down and not being able to get up several times over the years is pretty embarassing. Neither of my…

I am not a fan of golden raisins at all. I always liked the regular ones.

I never understood the hatin on the raisin. There were so many actually BAD candies that I got as a kid. They included:

A kid I went to high school with managed to do it at 27, same age his dad was when he died the same way, alcoholic cardiomyopathy. His buddy brought him two six packs and just after he chugged them, he went. That buddy, not a smart guy went through his own hell a couple of years ago when he died from pancreatic…

I took a family friend out to shop for a few things, he had been stuck all week while his wife was out of town and sons were working, etc. His bag broke just as he went inside the pharmacy he got his ostomy supplies at. WOW, that was an unpleasant smell. He was really embarrased about it and said, “Damn, you’re the…

What a dud of a car. Ford should have never let it out of the factory. 

Wow, that’s too bad. Last place I had any complaints about was at Longhorn Steak House, and that was my steak was too rare. I just don’t like rare beef at all, so back it went and it was great once it had some cooking on it.

Where the hell are you going where the kind of stuff you describe above happens? I’ve eaten in both chain and independant restaurants in a couple of different cities from the day they allowed people back inside and about the only thing that’s changed are the prices, and in a few cases, what itmes are available due to…

My mom bought a MkIV new in ‘74, silver inside and out. My main memories of it was how it wallowed with screaming tire squeal anytime a turn was made. It was pretty reliable, with it main issues being cooking the battery annually due to the Vegas heat and insanely hot temps under the hood, and every spring until 1982,…

A friend of mine bought his first Charger R/T just before the Chevy SS was discontinued. He had no idea it existed. I was surprised when he drove up in the Charger, as he was always a GM F-Body guy (He really hates the current Camaro horror show), and said, “I didn’t expect to see you in this. I expected a truck more…

The 2 local Culver’s make the best, nothing else has come close, fast food burger I’ve ever had. I had one about 3 hours ago. Nothing “dry” about it, and I eat mine plain, most of the time. Meat and bun, that’s it. Once in a while, onions and maybe bacon, but none of that condment crap on it. 

If he’s like a couple of friends of mine who grew up with parent(s) who had mental health/booze/drug issues, they know mom/dad is “not right” and simply gets along as best as they could until they were old enough to get the hell out of there.

He has enough $$$ that in the mix of soon to be destroyed Mustangs was a modded up 2010 SRT Challenger with a ton of upgrades along with an over 1000 HP blown stroker motor in it. He bought it with a lot of the chassis mods and roll cage done, with a oil gobbling 6.1 that had seen much better days. The engine was one…

I got started early. My dad was a B-29 Superfortress mechanic in WWII. He couldn’t fix a loose doorknob if his life depended on it. He always wondered how many poor aircrewmen he killed due to his total incompetance. The weird thing was, he could give you decent instructions on how to do something on the phone, but to…
