My roomies bought over thirty pounds of fall-out shelter candy for five bucks.
This stuff was canned back in 1964. It lived through things like the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, the assassination of a Kennedy, Vietnam, Watergate, the Iranian Hostage Crisis and the dismantling of the Berlin Wall. Not only is this candy old enough to vote, buy cigarettes and liquor and die for its country, it is also old enough to have a mid-life crisis. It is older than one half of my parentage. This candy is within striking distance of applying for Medicare and senior discounts at the IHOP.
I desperately wish we had gotten this around Halloween.
