I remember too...back at the county fairs and stuff they would have those crispy Elephant ears....big ol pastry type thing with tons of cinanmon and sugar.
Elephant ears?? Aren't those called funnel cakes??
Country fairs take me back....Always looked forward to the corn dogs, jelly apples and those huge lollipops..

My wife won't let my son have any of that junk food.
Just an apple minus the jelly! What fun is that. @c3

Mine would be a cookie.  It's two Ritz crackers, with peanut butter between them (like a sandwich), all dipped in chocolate.  They're very good.  Takes me back to holidays at my great granparents' house wth all the family.  Good times.

Sitting way up in the bleechers at Shea, eating peanuts and drinking orangeade. Man they had great peanuts at Shea, fresh roasted and in paper bags. And listening to Jane Jarvis play that mighty Wurlitzer. She really knew how to get the crowd going, with her renditions of "Meet the Mets" and "Take Me Out To The Ball Game"! The Wurlitzer is long gone and replaced by recorded rock. I wonder if the new Citipark will have an organ. I doubt it. 

Shea was a beauty before they did a modernization job on it!


Dodger -- I remember all that you mentioned.  My grandfather had season tickets for the Mets back then and I remember attending games regularly at Shea during the mid-to-late-60s.  Good memories...

Wow this is great.

Everytime I chew sunflower seeds it reminds me of times when my dad and I used to fish back in Michigan. Dad used to always have David sunflower seeds in the tackle box and we used to chew away on em!

Ice Cream, always takes me back.  So does sour gum.  My buddies and I used to see how many pieces of sour gum we could shove into our mouth at one time.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Mine would have to be the Flavo-Ice plastic cicles. We could go all day on those things while playing outside, was the only reason to come in the house for 2 minutes.
Other than that... A rootbeer float!!!  :P

Anyone remember Candy Cigarettes?  Seems like they were stuffed with bubble gum.
