It’s a traditional caramel dipped apple on a stick that’s also covered in nuts. There is/was a company/brand called “Affy Tapple” that supplied our school with them for a special sale day. We really called them “affy tapples” but I changed it on my list because I didn’t think anyone would know that name. I don’t know the company’s entire distribution area, if maybe they were just in the Midwest, but it’s interesting that the term was used on Mike & Mollie. I grew up on the south side of Chicago. Melissa McCarthy is also a Chicagoan so it’s probably a common thing she grew up with too.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 My Dad was that insurance man that collected premiums in person. (at his wake a number of his clients told me that my Dad paid their premium when times were hard. The policy didn't lapse because of him. They were so grateful! He wasn't supposed to do that and never told anyone that he did it)
He sent out birthday and anniversary cards to clients also.

He wasn't wearing boots as I thought. But I did get those boots.
@BeccaLou I remember my grandmother and aunts wearing clear ankle boots over their heeled pumps. The boot had a little heel that your high heel slipped into. It had the little button on the side and an elastic string you pulled around the button.

Remember the *busy signal* you got when calling someone?
BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ
DH's cell has that nostalgic ring of phones when we were growing up. I LOVE hearing that!
Would be funny if you could do the busy signal every time your phone rang. Although I guess it could be annoying, too. lol

You had to actually answer the phone because you had no idea who was calling, there were no special rings or caller IDs or screens that pop up on your TV to announce the caller.
You always had to pick up the phone, never knowing who would be lurking on the other line.

I keep telling DH our next back door will be wooden. He just rolls his eyes. LOL
