Ever Eat A Nut Goodie?

[Concerned American]

That's just craw...daddy!

How can people live without a nut goodie every once in a while?

They look like something they call turtles that I ate as a kid.

There's a confectioner that makes nut rolls that are as good as the original Pearson's.....They show up in the stores in north Wisco at irregular intervals, and I always buy about ten of them.
Ooooo....Just found them on Amazon....

And $2.50 each isn't all that unreasonable a price these days under JoeBiflation considering how long ago we were paying half that price! So it works out pretty well actually if you like them enough to buy them by the dozen which too, isn't that hard to justify.

All candy bars was twice as big as they are now and only cost a nickel.

Yeah but that's only true because our money actually used to be worth something before the politicians in Washington made it all nearly worthless gang-raping it for themselves year in and year out.

I just watched a 1934 Three Stooges where a guy on the sidewalk tells Moe that you could buy a HAMBURGER nor a nickel.

In the 60s, McDs was 19 cents and White Castle sliders were 12 cents.

As a matter of fact, I remember them running a special somewhere in the 1973-1975 period offering five hamburgers for a buck. I think the bill came to $1.05.

I can remember a radio jingle for Burger Chef in the 60's that went
For a nickel and a dime you get
French Fried potatoes
Big thick shakes
or the greatest 15 cent
Hamburger yet.

I wonder if anyone remembers a place called Winky's. They sold the Big Wink. They were a pretty good, fast and upcoming place then were busted for using horse meat.

Never heard of them. What part of the country?

At least the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic region as far as I know. I think they disappeared in the 70s or 80s.

That's why. I've only been in a couple places on the east coast. DC and a small town in PA. More familiar with west of the Mississippi. Thanks.

Yeah but turtles are different. They're only a bite or 2 and have no maple nooget inside.

Maybe I should take up the guitar and call myself Ted Nooget

My parents used to tell me of the candy bars they got for a nickel. If the Nut Goodies were better long ago, the likely reason is because back then, all they had was good, wholesome ingredients and the FDA had not yet discovered all the new synthetic chemicals they now put in them like Soy Lecithin, Modified Soy Protein, beta-h-fructosidase, and Artificial Maple Flavor.

BTW, some of the ingredients above allow the maker to use a cheaper grade of chocolate, less milk, store longer so can be much older by the time you get it and use cheap sweeteners which are chemically altered to take sweeter like sugar.

Is it any wonder then this stuff is not as good as 50-80 years ago?

Our Grocery Outlet got a shipment of high cocoa content chocolate--like 50% to 95% cacao and cane sugar. I got a couple bars and they are outstanding.
