Sodas were once a rare treat. Sweets were plums, oranges, apples, pears.
I can remember being about 6 years old and staring at a big fat woman along with my younger sister.
I don't remember eating snacks or even having much around to speak of. We ate at mealtime and that was pretty much it. Other than that, we were usually off hunting, fishing, playing ball or cutting/splitting firewood, mowing lawn etc.etc.. and mom had to hunt us down just to get us in for supper. If we were around the house and got hungry between meals there were usually some leftovers in the fridge and some popcorn or cereal in the cupboard.
