When you got home from school what were you allowed to have as a snack? (usually something that wouldn’t “spoil” your supper, right?)
My brother and I would sometimes get a Wagon Wheel but more often we’d have carrot or celery slices.
And what about that all important drink in the Tupperware pitcher?
A good day was Kool Aid or Tang.
A bad day was powdered milk.
Mom and dad were trying to save money and I guess regular milk was pricey at the time so they’d buy the powdered milk and mix it up.
Meanwhile my brother and I refused to drink the stuff.
They tried everything – they’d mix it half and half with regular milk, and turn up the fridge to get the powdered milk as cold as possible but there was no fooling us.
What was your after school snack?
