@cheriere I LOVE MALLOWCUPS! They got me through a bad breakup years ago - I bought a gas station display box and ate the whole box in a matter of months. Anytime I was sad, I'd eat a Mallow cup or two to cheer myself up, and it worked- but I gained about 10 pounds in 2 months by doing that, totally worth it! Ooh that's my girl- I love Reese's Easter eggs and 5 of them is a good number- if I eat just 2, I'd think, "Well, that was good, but now its all done"- but if you eat 5, that's really the perfect number! I think my personal record is 8 Reese's easter eggs in one go . I love regular Reese's peanut butter cups, but I think that the fun shapes for different seasons have even more peanut butter than the regular ones and that's why they're my favorites. I've got to go to Walgreen's again on Monday to get Easter candy on sale- its 75% off all Easter candy now! Maybe some Easter M and M's or some Peeps- I forgot to get it yesterday, but there was a big hollow Chocolate easter bunny that was calling my name.

@Mombo1 I love your Bread Man and Milk Man stories! That Bread Man truck must've smelled so good with all of the bread and pastries on board and the fresh milk and free cookies on the spot must've been so delicious!

@Mombo1

A bread man sounds right up my alley! I'd love ❤️ that free cookie too!
She's told me about the milk man when growing up. They lived in the city for many years. When they moved back down here, it was fresh cows milk which all the kids hated lol.💝🌸

@cheriere I love hearing about this. I wish my mother was still here so I could ask her if she remembered this. She grew up in the 20's and I was born in the 50's but don't remember this happening. Maybe it depended on where people grew up. My childhood was in the northeast, in Rhode Island. I do remember the milk man though, delivering to our family. Nice to reminice.

LOL, I raced to WalGreens hoping to get a bunch of Cadbury Cream eggs but someone beat me to it! All gone the day after Easter!😩

My mom was born in 53 and lived in Ohio except for the Summers and until high school. I'd love to know if these were just in the south or if lots of communities everywhere had them too.

There was also a fellow they were friends with down here everyone called, the rag man lol. He owned an old store that pretty much sold old clothes.

However, my mom's grandmother would save cotton feed sacks with prints to make the girls little dresses and things to play in outside so they didn't ruin their nice clothes. Mom said she always loved what her grandma would make, but not her sisters lol.

@cheriere Ooh the Cadbury Cream eggs go fast at Walgreens- they're always sold out when I look for them too! Some people go nuts over seasonal candy- I saw a woman at Walgreens buy 30 plastic candy canes filled with Hershey's kisses. She bought the entire display!

@cheriere It's so great she can give you so much information. I find the older I get the more I want to know about the past. Funny thing

@SportyShorty07 That would be me, Hershey's is my favorite.
